Love the light humour!

Effortlessly charming and silly, with some wonderful performances. You can feel the joy - I bet everyone enjoys themselves making this. It’s like an adorable Game Of Thrones - which I think we need more of. Highly recommend.

what a binge ,

Needs to be more!

Fantastic series! It’s so light and fun what an adventure always keeps me laughing. Such great characters with strong personality my favs are Holly and Stan!!

kellyhady ,

Please continue the Alba Salix series!

Season 3 perhaps?? It's just so good
