Bad Move

2017–2018 · 2 seasons

A gentle, wry sitcom about middle-class dreams souring, with mild laughs and a cosy, cynical edge.

Overview: Steve and Nicky are both on their second marriages and have decided that moving to the countryside from the city is the answer to all their dreams. They've watched all the TV relocation shows and read the glossy lifestyle magazines and fell in love with the idea of 'getting away from the rat race'.
How it feels: Cynical, satirical, light and absurd. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Family, class, identity, isolation
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
