 4 stars for Amanda September 9, 2008
Cazanya (Sweden)
I think Amanda Redman and Danny Webb deserves praise cus I loved watching them. However the "kids" in this annoyed me......Theres nothing in them I like whatsoever. When the show concentrate on Lindsey its brill but I wish they could have cast someone else as her children or maybe the problem isnt the acting but the characters......
Anyways its worth watch if you like Amanda Redman, like I do...For that it gets four stars.
I havent seen the original (dident even know about it till after I watched this) so I cant compare it.
 Shallow copy of a shining original May 21, 2008

I have to agree with "don"
This series is a completely one dimensional copy of a rich original from NZ.
The West family in the original are loveable and laugh-out-loud funny.
I suggest seeking out a copy of this well formed comedy starring some brilliant actors....especially the grandfather
 brilliant comedy! March 11, 2008

When i first watched it, i got caught into their family world of crime. Now planning to step out of crime, it proves all too much and that shows the family's hilarious antics.
Must buy!

...you'd be better off tracking down the original series from new zealand (outrageous fortune) on which this is based.
"honest" is played more for laughs than the original and suffers from one dimensional characterisation, as a result it ends up less funny and less emotionally engaging. In this it conforms to a trend set by Shed productions (footballers wives, waterloo road, etc) for shallow tabloid-TV drama. Sadly, such unchallenging material appears to be hugely popular.
Amanda Redman is alright in the lead role, but is an inexplicable object of desire for sean pertwee's police officer who, somewhat bizarrely, seems responsible for everything from noise pollution to armed robbery on his "patch". Danny Webb is pointlessy ever-present as the incarcerated Mack. Where "outrageous fortune" takes dramatic power from the largely absent family patriarch, "honest" uses his machiavellian scheming to contrive many of the plot's twists and turns.
The original was screened on Living TV in this country and it is a shock to me that someone at ITV had the "brainwave" of remaking rather than buying in.
