Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet, if you please) lives to impress. And she has no patience for people who pretend to be superior -- because that makes it "so much harder for those of us who really are." Assured of her own eminence, she spends her days trying to make sure everyone else is, too. Her down-market sisters, Rose and Daisy, are a challenge, but she's always willing to talk about her rich sister Violet. Violet's eccentric, cross-dressing husband, not so much.

Andrew Lewis Screen Rant 09/06/2018
The jokes are guaranteed to make even the most stiff upper lip crack a smile. Go to Full Review Lara Killian PopMatters 09/06/2018
Patricia Routledge is outstanding as an abrasive British housewife who considers it her solemn duty to associate with the "right sort of people", to maintain her spotlessly tidy house, and to keep the rest of her family in order. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 09/06/2018
Because this series is in keeping with the style and structure of British comedy, it will be an acquired taste for some adults and likely not a hit among the teen crowd. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dave C Nov 15 As good as I remember it, though Hyacinth takes a few episodes to soften and settle... and as for 'Our Rose', well, she irritates rather than entertains. The humour and performance comedy are great, mind See more Jacob B Mar 6 Once you’ve seen one episode you’ve pretty much seen them all. But while the situational comedy is terribly redundant, you don’t actually mind all that much because the cast is just so damn good! See more S R 11/29/2023 This is one of the best comedy series of all time. Doesn't get enough recognition. See more Raven M 11/13/2023 From the first season to last it has Humour and entertainment for all it was very well written and cast . See more 09/28/2018 Its my guilty pleasure so funny!!! Wish there were more episodes! See more Read all reviews
