The creator of This Country’s new comedy-thriller tries to do too many things to be truly great. But its star is phenomenally funny – and occasionally heartbreakingly vulnerable
At first, it seems that Daisy May Cooper hasn’t strayed far from the role that made her famous – the fabulously peevish Kerry Mucklowe in This Country, the bittersweet comedy she co-wrote and starred in with her brother Charlie.
Her new venture is comedy-thriller Am I Being Unreasonable? (BBC One), co-written with her real-life best friend Selin Hizli (who also stars), in which she plays secretly grieving mother Nic whom we first meet lying on the sofa with her son Ollie (Lenny Rush), eating cereal and watching crap telly until he insists on being taken to school on time.
