Brilliant. Immensely depressing but briliant. Sarah is the eldest child and breadwinner caring for her mother and two younger siblings in the best way she can. Finding an escape and a hope for a better future in her sharp observations. Surprisingly little stand-up (given the branding), or comedy in general but in a truly British way, real and depressing and brilliantly acted. Hats off to Liv Hill for the incredible lead. This is an emotional view of an all too common story of the lives real people lead, told with dignity.
