“Sometimes some people can’t take situations without maybe having a little joke, and you get to see that in the show,” he told Digital Spy and other media. “It’s not all super dark and moody and miserable because you do get little moments of comedy in everyday life, so it reflects that very well.”
Taylor’s description was echoed by fans on IMDB, who praised the series for its emotional but humorous narrative.
“A cracker, this four-part drama is one of the best offerings to come from the BBC for a long time. It’s funny, poignant, moving and all around great drama,” read one review, while another added: “A funny, droll, uplifting but also sad and sobering experience.”
Us is available to stream now on U.
