rainyrixon2 Absolutely brilliant. Showing pure British determination in a clean and funny way. Fingers crossed that there is a series two.

agalagher If you enjoy British comedy or just good fun tv shows, this is one of them. I watched Living the Dream in one sitting as I enjoyed it so much. There's no swearing or smut, just good clean fun. My Mum loved it as did everyone who saw it after me. Only someone who has no sense of humour or who doesn't understand British comedy would rate this low. I gave it 10 out of 10.

good-luck-chuck Admittedly, a large measure of our enjoyment is because the story's (alleged) location is just a couple hours drive north from our actual home. Now for our take on the show as "locals":1. As depicted in the series, the Florida locations are very much spot on. Florida's real R.V. (caravan) parks do vary from extremely up-scale which appeal mostly to owners of coaches selling for near half million dollars or more, to the much less ostentatious more run-of-the-mill parks akin to the one purchased by the Pembertons.2. The Florida characters (Yanks ?) are also accurately depicted in their wide range of personalities and often quirky behaviors, which do vary from the high-brow, self-aggrandizing elitists, to the salt-of-the-earth types.3. The depicted "cultural clash" also appears to be fairly accurate based on my own experience while working as a museum visitor services associate and interacting with numerous visitors from England.4. Yes, we actually do have 'gators, dolphins, otters, manatees, and more that swim in the canal in our backyard. In addition, there are bears, snakes, coyotes, armadillos, wild hogs, deer, and more which occasionally roam through our neighborhoods. My daughters, who live in the northern U.S., claim that we live in the "Wild Kingdom"; but we tell them that it's just all part of living in paradise.In all we probably enjoy this series more than viewers in GB because of the localization, but we are very much hoping for at least one more season of production.

steve-cook245 Great series with a great setting, I find it entertaining, relaxing and wishing I was brave enough to give something like that a go. Look forward to future series. It is very interesting to compare the lifestyles here and in Florida, although I do wonder if the house and cars will be sustainable in the long run. Troy is a great character I think he will end up a friend not enemy!
