Heading Out

2013 · 1 season

A gentle, witty British sitcom that coasts on charm and awkward warmth, easy to dip into and quietly funny.

Overview: Sara is a woman approaching middle age who is popular and successful - she's a veterinarian so skilled that she can spay a tortoise using just one hand - but has a chink in her armour: she's afraid to tell her parents that she is a lesbian. So on the eve of her 40th birthday, friends Jamie and Justine give Sara an ultimatum - either tell her parents next time mum and dad visit or they will.
How it feels: Warm, light, whimsical and earnest. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Identity, sexuality, family, friendship
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
