What a thrill!
Having Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer playing opposite each other in what looks like a very funny series is one of the streaming dreams I didn’t know I had!
But happily, even though I wasn’t aware it was burning away somewhere deep inside me, the dream has come true and I honestly can’t wait until I can soak myself in all of the hilarity.
This is going to be one of those series that makes you feel good about life and good lord, don’t we need a metric ton of those right now?
Ride or Die drops its full eight-episode run on Prime Video on 15 July this year.
