Mutual Friends (2008)

[samuelrichardscott]

Ran just one season for six episodes. I picked it up for Sarah Alexander who I enjoyed in Coupling. It also stars Keeley Hawes and Natalie Cox.

Synopsis:

Martin has two best friends, Patrick and Carl, who couldn't be more different. One is an irresponsible, unreliable, feckless womaniser and the other is dead. Guess which one slept with his wife?

Martin Grantham is happily married to Jen. They have a son Dan, a nice house, the works. One day his best friend Carl throws himself under a train, setting off a disastrous sequence of events that will change Marin's life forever...

Into this mess steps Patrick, a friend from way back. Patrick is everything that Martin is not - glib, self-confident, popular and pathologically immature. He's the last person Martin needs in his lift right now. Or is he?

It's not a matter of life and death; it's much funnier than that.

Anyway, this is my next TV release in the pile. Anyone seen it before?

Just watched it. I was surprised how many actors/actresses I really like were in this. Shame, because it was a bit crap. 1.5/5
