Series one of Pulling starts as Donna ditches her slightly beige and boring fiancé Karl, just days before their wedding. This unceremonious rejection catapults Karl head-first into a spiral of suicidal depression.

After her break up, Donna moves in with single friends, Karen and Louise, in Penge. So it's the three girls together, sharing the most exciting years of their lives. Well, almost...

It turns out being single again isn't as fun as it first looked to Donna. She is soon wishing she was back with Karl... however, her ex has now recovered from his breakdown and is moving on with his life without her!

Our Review: This is one of those dark comedies which attempt to make you laugh by putting the characters in depressing, unfortunate or embarrassing situations and then saying "hey, look, your life isn't as bad as these people's - feel happy". The thing is, this one really works!

Pulling is a spot-on reflection of how bleak life can be when you're desperately trying to find you way through life and relationships.

We must admit that, first time around, the first series of Pulling didn't really catch our eye; but re-watching it on repeat it dawned on us that, under the layers of darkness, is actually hiding one of the best new sitcoms for a long time.

It's packed full of great writing, acting and very funny scenes (like Donna going to see her boss to ask for a pay rise, only for it to transpire that due to a mistake she was actually being over-paid).

Series two has not only picked up where the first left off, but is pushed things further still - we absolutely love it now!
