This season in particular was a masterpiece in terms of its writing. Hilarious, touching, and gutting all at once. I will definitely do a rewatch at some point.
Get used to this emotional ping-pong: for every belly laugh in the next six episodes – and one erupts every minute – there follows a big old sob.He’s estranged from his parents, his beloved nan has Alzheimer’s and he’s on antidepressants. Danny has hidden all this through big smiles and banter, but as the friends start to talk openly about their true feelings – which still feels revolutionary for TV in 2022 – they fall into each other’s arms in floods of tears, unafraid to be vulnerable.
