This Way Up (s: Aisling Bea, Sharon Horgan) Hulu -- Aug 21, 2019
Aine is an English-as-a-foreign language (TEFL) teacher who’s trying to piece her life back together following a nervous breakdown. At her side is her sister, Shona, a finance whizz who worries about Aine — and whether she has room for her boyfriend in her flat since she bought a new coffee table…
The TEFL school where Aine works is also full of lost characters, each hoping to achieve happiness in the face of both social and psychological barriers.
Channel 4 describe the series (previously announced under the working title of Happy AF) as a “pin-sharp, poignant comedy which, with warmth and keen-edged wit, shows that the journey to happiness is harder for some than others.”
“This show is my baby and I am extremely excited about it,” Bea said. “Sharon and I have been trying to make a baby for a few years now and in the last while we’ve gotten some extra help in and now finally I am pregnant with a show and can’t wait to give birth to it, put it in a pram and show it to everyone. This is a metaphor for making TV by the way, I am not pregnant.”

Looks good to me, I was just about to cancel Hulu too so I'm glad I heard about the show. Anything Sharon Horgan has been fun to watch for me...

Watched this over the weekend and it was pretty good. Worth a watch if you enjoy British comedy although Arnie is a bit over the top as a character.

I watched it this weekend and enjoyed it. Quick six 22 minute episodes. Aine is over the top, but I found her overall endearing. I've never seen Aisling Bea before, but came out of watchig this crushing on her. I watched an interview with her on YouTube and she definitely seems similiar to the character. I checked out her standup too.

I watched it over the weekend as well. I enjoyed it.
I like the Aine character. She jokes a little too much probably, but she's still pretty funny.
For some reason it took until like the 3rd or 4th episode to notice that she's good looking.

Beautiful blues. I'm a sucker for the accent too.

Oh cool! I have not seen anything about this! It was a good little show, my wife and I rewatched it a few months back and found it to be rewatchable. Does Hulu tend to drop all episodes at one time? IMDB shows it as six episodes but does not have air dates on them as yet.

Damn I loved this show. Didn’t expect to, but I watched it cause I have a thing for Sharon Horgan. After this, I had a thing for Aisling Bea. Looking forward to this.
