Ladhood

Was recommended this by a friend and ended up binging it all in one night. It's not the perfect show by a long means but if you're around your 30s now and grew up in the north it will surely hit a lot of nostalgic notes with you.

It's the funniest show I've watched in a while, each episode has at least one laugh out loud moment. Really hope they make a second series, I am told it is based on a radio show, so the material is there.

Ladhood

Liam Williams again launches some very clever comedy reviewing the human condition. Despite the insertion of characters and some spoken narrative it really is a stream of thought ruminating over one simple topic each show.

Here Liam is a fly on the wall observing his formative moments that defined his future behaviours.

What I particularly like is the variety of comedy employed, from irony, through self-deprecation to farce.

My casual observation is this show is for a very sophisticated viewer and not many of those will be found watching on BBC 3

Series 2

Liam carried on examining his formative years to see if that would improve his present. It really was a brilliant script and the acting all round was great.

Series 3 was a great wrapping up of the series as the lads started to go their separate ways, I really enjoyed this whole series it had a really tight insightful script that was genuinely funny throughout

I shouldn't make comparisons but the style of humour is a little like Ricky Gervais and that is the highest of compliments, I can't wait to see was Liam will do next.

Brilliant show, very funny, and has a nostalgic feel to it, brings great memories back for me. Well written and a joy able through the whole series.

This is the first show I've watched that absolutely nails my adolescent years in the early/mid noughties. This show is literally a biography of me and my friends when we were kids. Skins was something about young people that I could never relate to, the Inbetweeners (as funny as it was) was only relatable on a sexual level (in the sense that as a teenager I had none or very little) but Ladhood is something entirely different. Not only is it hilarious, it accurately sums up the attitudes and culture of that era and how it has morphed an entire generation into who we are today.

One of the funniest shows I've watched on a very long time. Very highly recommend.

Stumbled upon this by accident and love it, its not meant to be a rip off of the inbetweeners as one reviewer suggested, this is a witty clever nostalgic comedy with great acting allround and it deserves a second season
