I am doing exactly the same, so will join you on this journey! I tried previously to get into it but couldn’t get past Ep4. It’s not that I *have* to have a hero to guide me through, but they were all so horrible I had nothing to grasp onto. I too thought my nearest and dearest can’t *all* be wrong so I decided to try again and see if I could catch up before the big finale. Something clicked this time and I’m now fully on board! Looking forward to seeing what you think.
I watched 4 episodes when I tried it last year. My husband loves it. I just couldn’t make myself watch further. Felt like a real struggle. I know this is a personal thing, but I need one character that I can sympathise with/root for. Nary a one in this show. Decided not to punish self further! However, enjoyed this vicarious watch-along! Look forward to future instalments!
I am in like flynn for this - think I got 4 or 5 eps in last time around... Greg is definitely a ray of hilariously cringy sunshine amidst the dark cloud of unlikable Roys!
I wish I’d waited for your watchalong instead of hate-watching the real thing. Everyone in it is such a monstrous bellend, except Cousin Greg, that I find it to care about them. Also, “Shiv, Really” made me laugh like a drain. More, please!
I started watching it a couple of weeks ago and as I'm currently off work with a nasty cold I've been racing through it and caught up with the latest episode yesterday. Cannot wait to read your take on each episode!
Odd isn't, first time I tried (eps 1-3) I really didn't like the fact that everyone was horrible. Somehow the cosmic tides have shifted and now I live for their deeply, deeply flawed humanity. Looking forward to sharing the experience with you.
YES! I didn't realise I was waiting for this watch along until this moment!

The Gaffer is back! Substack is better for it and I can’t wait to see your take on the rampant bellendery of the Roy family and the seasons unfold.
I literally started watching this on Tuesday!
You won’t regret it!
