      John Doyle Globe and Mail The series is unusually raw, vehemently rude but packed with a small group of characters whose backstories are the sort of material that’s usually found in case-studies of trauma and child neglect. Yet it can be blisteringly funny. Mar 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      mortychops If you were entertained by Peep Show, Spaced, Motherland et all, then you'll like 'Alma's not Normal'. The fact that it isn't a work of complete fiction & is based around the writer's (Sophie Wilan) life experience just makes it all the more engaging. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a BBC comedy as much as this, it was super refreshing. I'm on tenterhooks waiting for season two! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Audience Member An amassing mix of utterly cringe hilarity and a genuinely moving story. Love this show, it's the best thing I've watched for an age.
