relationships\u201d, while stressing that \u201cthere aren\u2019t any big stunts or reveals, it\u2019s just a very simple story; simply told, about people and the complications of daily life\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The series comes from writer Stefan Golaszewski, and fans of his other series Mum and Him &amp; Her will likely recognise the creator\u2019s naturalistic style in what Bean
