Julia will receive its UK premiere on Sky Atlantic on Tuesday April 12th at 9pm with a double-bill.
Julia is inspired by the life of Julia Child and her long-running television series, “The French Chef,” which pioneered the modern cooking show. Through Julia’s life and her singular joie de vivre, the series explores a pivotal time in American history – the emergence of public television as a new social institution, feminism and the women’s movement, the nature of celebrity and America’s cultural evolution.
The series stars Sarah Lancashire (Happy Valley), David Hyde Pierce (Frasier), Bebe Neuwirth (Madam Secretary), Brittany Bradford (Broadway’s Bernhardt/Hamlet), Fran Kranz (Homecoming) and Fiona Glascott (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald).

Looks interesting, with Sarah Lancashire in the lead. Fiona Glascott I remember as Matt LeBlanc's ex wife in 'Episodes'.
I think the 2009 film 'Julie & Julia' was on TV recently, with Meryl Streep playing Julia and Stanley Tucci her husband. I didn't watch that this time around but did some years ago.

- turns out it was a quadruple bill, which means we've caught up with the episodes already aired in the US.
I'm finding it highly enjoyable. Sarah Lancashire is great, showing just how versatile she is. The part is totally different from Happy Valley's police sergeant or Last Tango in Halifax's school headmistress.

Finished it now and it's been an absolute delight. A second series has been confirmed.
