BBC’s returning sitcom hailed a “total knockout” with perfect Rotten Tomatoes score – here’s how to watch

The popular BBC sitcom, affectionately known as “Such Brave Girls“, has made its comeback, boasting another successful run with its highly-rated second season.

In this show, penned and conceptualized by Kat Sadler, we delve into the lives of Deb Johnson (Louise Brealey) and her children, Josie (Sadler) and Billie (Lizzie Davidson). Together, they tackle the intricacies and complexities that life throws their way.

Following its successful first season in 2023 and praised by critics, the “tumultuous” show came back for six fresh episodes on July 3rd, all of which are now available for streaming on BBC iPlayer.

In the second season as portrayed by the BBC, the dysfunctional family members find themselves exploring fresh bonds and clinging to old ones that refuse to fade away. The comeback of “Such Brave Girls” offers a darkly humorous journey into even more questionable life decisions.

In this season, secrets unveil, calamities escalate, and misguided dreams spin wildly. The heartache intensifies for our unyieldingly tragic family, as they dare all for a mere shred of affection and appreciation.

Just like the first season that earned a flawless score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, the second season has also gained praise from critics.

According to The Guardian, the comeback of this darkly humorous series about two troubled sisters and their mother is even scarier, funnier, and perfectly balanced – a true winner. They described the sitcom as “remarkably wild,” deeming it an absolute success.

As a gamer, I’d say this game has been hailed as one of the funniest in years. The Sydney Morning Herald called it “shocking” and “compelling,” while The Independent praised it for being “brave,” with a dark humor that’s “bleakly funny” and offers a “refreshingly realistic” perspective.

The Financial Times shared a similar viewpoint, describing the series by Kat Sadler as “persistently gloomy yet hilarious.” They also noted that the family depicted in the series returns with an attitude that is both draining and energizing.

Such Brave Girls is streaming now on BBC iPlayer.

The latest print edition of Digital Spy is out! You can purchase “Oasis – Live in ’25” from newsstands or online for only £8.99.
