Michaela Coel recently set the world alight with her remarkable drama ‘I May Destroy You’ (my review of that coming tomorrow morning) but before that, she became hugely popular due to writing and starring in this Channel 4 comedy.
This is a very different show as it doesn’t tackle some of the darker issues ‘I May Destroy You’ does, but it certainly isn’t afraid to tackle very controversial and potentially tricky subjects.
It is very well cast, with Coel proving that she has absolutely perfect comic timing and is a uniquely energetic screen presence on top of her writing skills, and Danielle Isaie also shines in her supporting role.
The opening credits are very fun with a great song that really gets you in an immediately positive mind frame and ready to watch the episode.
I can’t wait to watch season 2 and see what outrageous things Michaela Coel will tackle this time…
Rating = 4/5
