About
"Grief and quiet longing dressed as gentle comedy"
Mum follows Cathy, a recently widowed woman, across a single year as her extended family, friends and hangers-on drift through her home for one gathering after another. Each episode unfolds on one day, months apart, catching small shifts in her life and in the quiet, unspoken affection of a loyal family friend. It's a hushed, melancholic sitcom built on awkward silences and restrained performances rather than punchlines, finding real tenderness and sly wit in ordinary grief, loneliness and the slow, undramatic business of moving on.
Lesley Manville's understated performance and the show's tender, patient observation of everyday grief.
you prefer fast-paced jokes over slow, melancholic, quietly observed family comedy.
