There's nothing two dimensional about this beautifully layered, hilarious and romantic post-breakdown comedy.

The week in TV: This Way Up

Aisling Bea's pitch-perfect, bittersweet comedy is back.

This Way Up review

Created and written by comedian Aisling Bea, it's been compared to hit series Fleabag. But we think you should put all unfair comparisons to the side, and accept this comedy series for what it is - sometimes sweet, sometimes sad, and often funny.

This Way Up is the way forward

Aisling Bea's funny-but-troubled turn in her self-written comedy is remarkable, says Lucy Sweet. Just don't mention the F word.

Moribund father Richard (played with deadpan brilliance by Tobias Menzies) actually cracks a smile at the start of this instalment of Aisling Bea's tender comedy. Why? Because no one can resist the teasing humour of her character, Aine, who this week gets lured into a blind date by sister Shona.
