Review of Ladhood

Ladhood (2019–2022)
5/10
Ladhood had potential...

... But it was weighed down by the main adult actor, Liam Williams. The reflective adult part I get, to an extent (it is sometimes overdone and drags). However, what ruins the show is the second part of his character... going from apparent working class teenage lad to a snobby super woke man in his 30's, where "ladhood" takes a back seat to his views on ethnic diversity, transgenderism, political identity, femism and climate awareness. It just doesn't add up.

The story of how working class teens spoke, dressed and acted around each other during the early-mid 2000's is accurate and certainly reminiscent of that time in my life. There are some funny scenes, but the comedy is likely to draw more laughter for someone who can relate to such times e.g. Anyone in their late 20's, or in their 30's or 40's.
