Synopsis
What happens when your first love is a distant memory but you haven't yet found "the one"?

Alice Chenery (Tamsin Greig), is an account manager for a perfume company in a London department store, struggling to maintain a flat in Brighton she cannot afford. Michael Landes, (The Wonder Years and The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air) plays Gil Raymond, a successful American comedy writer who has fled his home country in search of artistic integrity and a lasting relationship. The parallel lives of this perfectly matched couple -- who have yet to meet each other -- unfold revealing their hopes, fears and dating disasters as they try to remain sane in a world from which they each feel increasingly excluded.

This DVD contains every episode from the first series of Love Soup from hit writer David Renwick (Jonathan Creek, One Foot in the Grave), starring Tamsin Greig (Green Wing, Black Books).

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime - highly recommended, 26 Mar 2008
By Ian (Walsall, UK) - See all my reviews
This is superior quality TV. It combines finely crafted drama that has you really caring about the characters, with laugh-out-loud comedy situations that could only come from the pen of David Renwick (One Foot in the Grave, Jonathan Creek). I really can't recommend it highly enough.

The DVD also has special features:
- behind the camera feature
- out-takes
- interview with David Renwick
- commentary on episode 1 by writer and producer Verity Lambert

5.0 out of 5 stars Love's Laughs Located, 11 Jul 2009
By Bookwormjo (London) - See all my reviews
  
The combination of the BBC and David Renwick - need I say more? The critically, but not viewing figure acclaimed first series of this excellent comedy drama continues to impress even after a second viewing. It's the story of Alice, a cosmetics account manager in a London department store who's thoughtful, intelligent and most of all, looking for that special someone to share her life with. Running in parallel with Alice's life is Gil's - an American comedy writer living in rural splendour whose neuroses stand in the way of him finding 'the one'. There are also a number of other characters, such as Alice's colleagues, dippy Milly and seductive Cleo, Gil's rapacious neighbour Irene and his cynical agent Lloyd.

The thing I most enjoyed about this series was the skilful way that Renwick managed to get inside the character's heads and the intricate plot devices he uses to great effect. There is also a healthy chunk of surreal pathos and bleak humour which is very much a trait of his work. I'd recommend this series to anyone who enjoys quality drama - it's a real treat and Michael Landes is gorgeous - such a shame he didn't appear in series two!

5.0 out of 5 stars Alice in wonderland., 2 Jan 2009

Apart from Curb your Enthusiasm this is probably the funniest laugh out loud tv production I have seen in a long while. I caught bits of it now and again and was sufficiently intrigued to buy the series. It has everything, romance, pathos, humorous situations, and two plot lines that never quite meet in the middle. How this wasn't a huge hit is a real puzzle to me, possibly the time just wasn't right.Alice in wonderland it certainly is. Everyone that has watched it on dvd couldn't resist just watching another episode. That's recommendation enough.
