I think one of the things I knew that was important to me is that even though the show deals with difficult stuff, Camilla (Whitehill) said it's a comedy.
The debut series of Big Mood followed the lives of Maggie and Eddie, whose friendship was strained by Maggie's bipolar disorder. According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Nicola Coughlan described the show as a comedy that balances laugh-out-loud moments with emotional depth, feeling true to the characters' voices and real-life friendships. The specific time on April 16 for the premiere has not been announced, and it is unclear whether the series will be available for streaming on platforms like All 4.
How the plot involving Whitney and Maggie's chaos will develop remains to be seen.
It's so brilliantly balanced by how much you have these proper laugh out loud moments and then the next scene, you're crying.
I love that it felt very true to her voice. It's also very much in the vernacular of how her and I and our friends speak to one another, so it felt very real.
