I wish I could say this is a heart-warming show about overcoming trauma, but that would be a lie. It’s about three toxic, damaged egomaniacs manipulating the world and each other for their own personal gain, vengeance and glory…just like in Little Women." Upon the start of filming the series in 2023, Sadler described the show as “a family sitcom about trauma, but it’s more about us being narcissistic losers who are pathetically obsessed with what people think about us. n April 2024, Sadler won the Emerging Talent: Fiction category for Such Brave Girls at Bafta’s Television Craft Awards.
