Talk:Last Tango in Halifax

Episode summaries
Would be good to get the episode summaries completed for the last 4 episodes before the GA review is started. Keith D (talk) 00:08, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Out of Date
A variety of problems, as I see it, with this article. The "Overview" section is exclusively about the 1st Season. The lede also focuses on that season. With 3 seasons, that is inadequate. I would not characterize the show as a romantic drama. The comedy aspect was a major part of season 1, and much of 2, but seems to have mostly disappeared in season 3. No discussion is made in lede of the daughters issues (with the notable exception of C's coming out): C's difficulty in getting rid of her ex., her son's acceptance, G's alcoholism, her murdering her first (abusive) husband, and the dangerous infatuation with his cop brother, while she is sleeping with Caroline's ex and sundry others. As of 18-July-2015, Season 3 Episode 3 has aired in the US - the lede states the series completed (correctly for the UK, I assume) in February. With G's murdering her husband, then being unable to stay away from his brother (who has done a 180° from blaming her (and suspecting her) to a marriage proposal), John's baby's death, Kate's death, the new relative (a millionaire!), the grandson's parenting problems, Als friend's loss of his boat and home, the series has turned into (imho) a soap opera, and has lost its way. Jumped the Shark. Surely, some of the critics see it that way, too? Yet the article is unfailingly admiring, a non-neutral pov, I think. I also think that John (the ex) has had enough screen time to qualify as a main character. Only other issue I draw attention to is the dubious claim that LGBT characters are underrepresented on TV. Just not true (in the US, that is; so perhaps it is in the U.K.?). I also see no director credited. And supporting cast (kate, the grandsons, the gf, Al's friend, G's fiance should be listed (since they're being killed off (or sent to school), a table of seasons (and episodes) they featured in is most appropriate, imho).216.96.76.54 (talk) 21:53, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes. My feeling is that series 1 & 2 were planned together (with their mega happy ending) on the assumption that then the BBC would drop the show after two years, as it did with Lip Service, e.g. Series 3 then came as a surprise, and so they had nothing to say and nowhere to go. Research needs to be done on this to see where the truth lies. Vince Calegon 16:53, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
