Review: The Duchess, Netflix

It'll be interesting to see how the comedy goes down in America as the programme has a strong English feel - there is a Richard Curtis-y sunny West London vibe to the look, with a splash of Motherland and Catastrophe thrown in for good measure.

Katherine Ryan interview

The Duchess is a sitcom for families with 'funny Shapes'.
