That I have heard of, and while from the vague descriptions of it I've heard it doesn't sound much like my sort of thing, I have seen so many enthusiastic recommendations for it from people whose tastes I trust that I can only assume it must, indeed, be worthwhile.

I missed the first two series, because I rarely get on with ch4 sitcoms, but people were going on about it, and the gifsets of Sister Michael on tumblr were all very funny, so I recorded repeats of S1-2 just in time to watch my way almost straight through it, and, yeah, it really is amazingly well done. It's one of those things where someone has written about a very specific time and place and experience and yet somehow managed to do it in a way that clearly has something universal about it. Plus, for the most of the time, it's pure chaos and extremely funny. Especially Sister Michael. The gifsets were not wrong.

Anyway, so, yes, I absolutely third, fourth or tenth or whatever the rec.

(If you do ever get to it, here's a clip, because it's one of those shows where the soundtrack is important and, inevitably, copyright has messed with it on Netflix, and while I'm sure most of those are ok, in the final scene of s1 crimes were committed. idk if this plays in your region (and don't watch it yet) but link to be stashed somewhere so you can see the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SN14w6BLf8 )

LOL! But, no, I refuse! That triangle is a jerk, and I take far too much pleasure in not giving him what he wants! :)

Lol. Okay. Bad Triangle, no smut! (Not yet.)

It really does help to be strict with yourself about picking a line and sticking to it...

Yeah, the times I've done that, I've been much better at it! But OTOH, I do like having an ongoing card and writing things I just felt like writing, and then posting them while protesting, "Look, I had to write it, it fitted square x over there in that corner of the card that's of no use to me, how could I not?" XD
