Newark, Newark

Newark Newark brilliantly balances humour and heart while keeping snappy dialogue, unpolished characters, and authenticity at its core.

Each actor is so perfectly cast and directed that it's hard to remember you're watching actors playing roles and not locals being filmed while going about their daily lives (sticklers may harp on accents, but pay them no mind). Nathan Foad's pitch-perfect dialogue captures each character's unique voice as he populates this fictional version of his hometown with a host of recognisable yet hyperbolic personalities.

Also of note is the the unique original score and selection of 90s/early 2000s pop hits, both of which help ground this farcical romp in reality.

All in all, if you enjoy absurdist characters, uncurbed authenticity, and unpretentious comedy, "Newark Newark" is a must-watch!

I don't think we all watched the same program, it cracked me up! Loved it duck lol. I hope they do make more, very reminiscent of people that I met during my childhood in Lincoln.

OK.. it's exaggerated but that's TV for you. And although the slang exists I think it was way over used.

The people who are complaining about how the show portrays newark obviously are not the same people who would have watched shows like shameless for example.

I actually quite enjoyed it and I thought the acting was good.

But Obviously there is plenty of room for improvement.

I quite liked it after episode 1. People are going to say do doubt it's not funny but make your own mind up. Not as good as Gavin and Stacey for example but good in its own right. Blimey though £3.99 for salad cream!!

Hilarious, weird and different. Why are there only 3 episodes? So many great characters and a flawless performance from Morgana Robinson. We need more insane comedies like this.
