It's not the same. I thought when it was about to start that I had read the book but when I read the synopsis of the TV series I realised it was a completely different story.

The Channel 4 series is based on the Dutch programme New Neighbours.

I thought it was based on the book and was quite excited to watch it. During the first episode I was so confused and I was thinking that maybe I was getting the book mixed up with a different one. Once I reread the book summary and then I read some spoilers for the series and I realised they were different. I couldn't get in to the series at all, I just found it boring and all the characters annoyed me 🙈
 
This was so odd?

Firstly it's nothing to do with the book at all, is it even meant to be based on it?

Secondly, the setting was odd, for the first couple of episodes I thought it was set in Australia haha...not least because they were all walking around in shorts and crop tops - the weather is never hot enough for that in Leeds 😂

And the ending? Why did Pete suddenly go mad and pull the gun on them all? He was relatively chill up to that point. The secret son was also a pointless storyline
 
Agree with the comments on here, what a weird series but yeah Hugh Dennis was fab and believable
Most of the plot holes have already been mention and this is minor compared to others but thought it was weird at the end when they just left their young son and told him to go wherever they said and drove off
