Honest is a delightful British comedy-drama television series that aired on ITV from April 9 to May 14, 2008. The show is set in London and follows the life of Lindsay Carter, a former con artist who has decided to turn her life around and become an honest citizen. Amanda Redman plays the lead role of Lindsay Carter with great conviction and humor, portraying her as a lovable rogue with a heart of gold.

Lindsay is a divorced single mother of three children who live with her in their dilapidated council house. Her children are Taylor, Vin, and Kacie, played by Matthew McNulty, Laura Haddock, and Eleanor Wyld, respectively. Her ex-husband, Mack Carter, played by Danny Webb, is a good-natured man who still cares deeply for Lindsay despite their rocky past.

The show follows Lindsay's struggles as she tries to make a decent living for herself and her children while avoiding her criminal past. Her children also have their own troubles to deal with, such as teenage rebellion, first love, and sibling rivalry. Kacie, the youngest daughter, is perhaps the most relatable character in the show, as she tries to find her place in the world while dealing with her mother's criminal past.

One of the show's standout characters is Detective Sergeant Ed Bain, played by Sean Pertwee. Bain is a no-nonsense police officer who is determined to catch Lindsay and put her back behind bars. However, he also develops a grudging respect for Lindsay and eventually helps her out of a few tight spots.

Honest is a show that balances drama and humor perfectly. It's not afraid to tackle serious issues but does so in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The show also boasts an excellent soundtrack, with a mix of classic and contemporary British music that perfectly captures the mood of each scene.

Overall, Honest is a show that is well worth watching for anyone who enjoys a good British comedy-drama. The writing is sharp, the acting is superb, and the humor is both intelligent and cheeky. Whether you're a fan of Amanda Redman or just looking for a new show to binge-watch, Honest is definitely worth checking out.

Honest is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (6 episodes). The series first aired on January 9, 2008.
