Featured review
It's been a very long time since the golden age of British sitcoms, back in the 90s. Since then, we've seen very little in the way of outstanding, memorable stuff. The last truly great one, in my opinion, was Peep Show which finished last year and you'd have to go back to The Office before that (though I'd like to give a shout out to Plebs, which although not in the same league is still very good). Well now, we've finally got another one.
It's very much inspired by The Office and much of the acting (particularly from the two main characters, Beats and Grindah) clearly has Ricky Gervais's imprint all over it. I don't see this as a bad thing though and if you liked The Office you'll love this. As will anyone with a passing knowledge of inner city life in the UK, the DJ / underground music scene or even if you just like laughing at the "chavvy" end of society. Most of us will recognise at least one of these 4 main protagonists or the characters they associate with, in real life and it all rings very true, particularly the dialogue which is expertly done.
What this is doing languishing on BBC 3 is anyone's guess but it certainly deserves a larger audience. I cannot recommend this highly enough, I haven't laughed so much in years!
