The new series, featuring under-qualified and over-confident Brit Amy Hoggart seeks to make Americans feel better by attacking issues that make their lives - and Amy’s - harder. It’s Personal with Amy Hoggart premieres February 26 on truTV. 

The show is available to stream on trutv.com.

I've watched all of the episodes that have aired so far.  I really love Amy.  She really does seem like a sweet person.  The last two episodes were a little weird, for me, though.  I really didn't like the revenge one.  It just didn't have the same heart for me.

I didn't think anyone else was watching. It wasn't what I expected. 

When the lady in the first episode tried to be funny with her sister and just totally broke down crying, Amy took a drink of the wine and looked absolutely *mortified*. I was like, 'oh shit, this is serious.'

I liked in Miami episode, the older lady just said 'maybe you're hanging out with the wrong people. 

I thought the point of the revenge episode was the kid wasn't going to go through with it, and I think Amy thought so too. I liked the marine because he was able to pick up quickly about how the kid didn't think about the consequences. 'If you're always worrying about getting back at people all the time, you'll end up in jail like my brother.'

The friend one was great because it clearly meant so much to the woman. 

I think the only time she really dropped the ball was on the monogamy because it clearly was bothering her for some reason. The woman is going to end up cheating.

I noticed that with the monogamy issue, too. She sabotaged them.

I was worried that the dog grief episode was going to be terrible, but in the end I was happy with how it turned out. "Disenfranchised grief" is a real thing, and pet loss is one of the more common examples.

For one, they said that they'd only been with each other. The wife was clearly itching. It looked like she was down to watch the husband anyway. So maybe he does it and doesn't think it's for him, but he's down with her going off once and a while. I don't think that's a big deal. 

I just watched the last one - the guy clearly needed help moving on, and I thought the memorial was nice. Everyone seemed to appreciate.
