My Thoughts

The Other One is a fun British comedy about two families who find they have one thing in common - the same husband/father. After the unfaithful man dies, wife and lover try to come to terms with each other and two half sisters try to forge a bond. This first season has seven hilarious episodes. 

Ashes to Ashes -  After their father dies, two sisters both named Catherine discover their father had two families.

Episode 2- At a joint birthday party, the families fight over who was dad's favorite.

Episode 3- Cathy work insists she attend grief counseling. Cat hopes to be a bridesmaid at Cathy's wedding.

Episode 4 - The sisters join forces to make a memorial bench and to ride a bike.

Bachelorettes - Cathy's party doesn't go exactly as she planned.

Episode 6- Cathy struggles through her cold feet as the wedding approaches.

Episode 7 - When her wedding is cancelled, Cathy takes Cat on her honeymoon.

This was a really fun series. Its filled with humor, but there are some touching moments as well. I can't wait to see what happens in the next season. If you want to grab a copy of this awesome DVD for yourself,  you can find it in stores nationwide or online at Amazon.
