This Way Up

Comedy23 min per episode

In London, Aine is trying to rebuild her life after a breakdown, returning to work as an English-language teacher while pretending she is steadier than she feels. Daily routines keep slipping sideways: awkward lessons, messy dates, and the constant effort of sounding fine when she isn’t. Her older sister Shona stays close, but their bond brings its own strain as concern turns into friction and old habits resurface. As Aine pushes for independence, small social disasters and private setbacks pile up, forcing her to face how fragile her recovery still is. Aisling Bea and Sharon Horgan lead a story that keeps its focus on two sisters navigating damage, dependence, and the embarrassing business of carrying on.
