Keeping Up Appearances

AudienceAudience: 7.8

A suburban housewife is determined to present herself as a gracious, well-connected member of high society. Her carefully managed image is repeatedly threatened by her long-suffering husband, nervous neighbors, and relatives whose behavior she finds embarrassing, creating a stream of awkward social situations and comic schemes.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy character-driven British sitcoms, social satire, and recurring comic mishaps; not for you if you dislike repetitive setups or abrasive, demanding central characters.
