Drifters

Pure comedy genius! laughing out loud 2021 lockdown ..!!

It's got Bob Mortimer in it which is why I started watching it. The casting is good. It's got great character-development and genuine gags.

The formula works well. It lasted a few seasons. The comedy is there and it is refreshing although it quickly gets repetitive on the gags being sexualised.

It's very lewd for most UK comedy shows. It's for a matuer audience. I enjoyed it and it had enough chemistry to keep me watching but compared to what is on offer already in the UK it is a bit lacking.

Similar humour to Inbetweeners. Potty humour which does not work for everyone. It's a dry delivery and the sketches are generally good but the situation is almost always desparate which is where the comedy is.

A strong 7/10.

Drifters follow three friends who share and flat after university and have not yet got their lives quite figured out. As they try to progress in their lives they encounter many downfalls in their lives and relationships. You can really relate to the characters in Drifters, we have all been Meg, Laura and even Bunny at some point in our lives. We get ourselves into tricky and embarrassing situations which we don't know how to get out of and end up embarrassing ourselves even more... and this is what is great about this show... the characters are believable, flawed and unbelievably relatable. It's unlike a polished comedy where everything is canned laughter and sunshine, it really shows you the awkward, messy and laughable side of life, especially as a woman, there are not many comedies out there that show that actually, women can just be as immature, awkward and embarrassing and funny as men (haha) The performances are great, you can tell the actors really enjoy their roles and that's what brings a show to life. You can just imagine how much fun they must have on set. Not to mention, the hilarious story lines. It's easy to get into and binge on and it really helps to brighten your day.

Lying in bed with stomach flu going on day 4, I found "Drifters" on Amazon Prime. Lucky, lucky me. Binge-watched the entire four seasons. Nothing better than crass, crazy humor to take one's mind off feeling nauseous, feverish and completely out of it.

I love this series. I wish they had renewed it for at least two more seasons. I miss all the characters already, What a cast. Each and everyone perfect in his/her role. Stellar writing and acting all 'round.

Laughed out loud too many times to count. The alcoholic culture of UK really shouldn't be this funny, but it was all portrayed so very well.

Please watch this and see if you agree: this is top-notch entertainment.

Drifters is a sit-com following three young women in their 20s who are stuck in that awkward time of life when you're no longer a child but also not quite responsible or mature enough to make it in the adult world and are basically just trying to get your life together. Meg, Bunny and Laura are very flawed but relatable characters who are very straight-talking and somewhat obnoxious and attempting to 'make it' in the world. They adopt a 'fake it until you make it' philosophy and consequently get themselves into some hilariously awkward situations in front of their partners, colleagues, friends and family.

It's not a spectacular show, but it does what it says on the tin and provides some very funny moments. It does what only British comedies can achieve by never holding back in showing the more disgusting antics that young people get up to (particularly sexually) and the language they use. Face it - a lot of young people ARE sex-obsessed, they ARE vulgar and they ARE party animals, and that's what Drifters shows. It's refreshing to see a comedy that depicts three females who aren't perfect and who are shallow, self-centred, promiscuous, immature, loud and vulgar - qualities which are generally associated with young men.

For anyone that really wants to know what to expect from Drifters, it's basically a slightly older female version of Inbetweeners - there you have it.
