Critics

Audience

A group of lively teenage friends in Bristol navigate messy relationships, family tensions, school pressures, and the highs and lows of growing up. Their lives combine irreverent humor with serious struggles involving identity, mental health, sexuality, substance use, and heartbreak.

My take

You’ll like this if you want a raw, funny, emotionally intense teen drama like Euphoria or Sex Education; Not for you if graphic sex, drugs, bleak themes, and shifting casts feel off-putting.
