Simply excellent. Flawed characters of questionable intelligence all bounce off one another in a veritable feast of posturing and pretending while, all around, the same boring urban sludge keeps them locked in.
Miche is an underrated character who makes you feel so sorry for her one minute and makes you despise her the next. She is so sweet and caring but has ended up in this environment due to a series of mistakes that even she is oblivious to.
Beats is a favourite, as is Roche (who acts as our audience surrogate as she's the only one deemed as normal) while Decoy's looks to camera are all-telling.
The show wouldn't work if Mustafa, who plays the egomaniac Grindah, was a bad MC. He's excellent, if without any awareness that it's no longer 2001. The fact they all have old phones and use the language of the turn of the Millennium is designed to make us question if this is a period piece. They are the period piece, and they don't even know it.
Very clever, very funny and tragicomedy galore in the heart of Brentford. Keep it Kurupt.
