Chewing Gum

This show could have been ruined by a heavy hand on the Director's controls, but it perfectly threads the gap between a bleak-and-gritty portrayal of London's working class (which it is not) and a zany, Poly Anna Utopia where's everything's perfect and nothing is permanent (which it also is not.) The lead actress, creator, and writer, Michaela Coel, is also spot on, ticking all the right boxes of "Hot," "Cute," "Silly," "Vulnerable," and -- yes -- even a deep-seated "Intelligent" with her character. She reminds of classic comediennes like Lucille Ball and pre-political-insanity Jenny McCarthy. I hope Netflix gives several more seasons.

This TV series is humorous and utterly brilliant. The mix of religion, early twenties life, and lessons of life, make this TV series unique and highly entertaining for youngsters of my age (22).

It is such a feel-good series to watch, but with a mere tease of six episodes, more needs to be released. Having just watched the last episode, I can tell that there is easily at least another two seasons of unique material for me to enjoy. Every episode so far has made me laugh out loud, and has definitely made me feel good about myself. Worryingly, some I could even relate to.

Looking forward to another season - here is hoping the writers read this and release it.

Ever since I saw the advertisement trailer on the Television it grabbed my attention. I never got round to watching it for some reason but when I did I was so happy. It's a stand out show to me. Great Comedy! No matter what others say I love the show. It holds something fresh and the characters are so likable. Yes the content is rude and not suitable for certain ages, but isn't that part of the humour? No one has said no to something a little inappropriate I hope is continues for at least one or two more seasons because E4 would be lost without it. Michaela Coel has proved herself to be a great attribute towards modern entertainment!!!

This programme fell quite literally out of the blue. I had just finished watching Dirk Gently's and found myself at a loose end... Then I clicked on a recommended programme link and my fate was sealed...

What followed was tears, OMGs, sheer blinckages, head shakes, WTFs and then unadulterated love... The cast, the setting, the background and more than anything, the sheer balls to the wall, all out storytelling.... Frack me, I'm at a loss for words...

I just love Chewing Gum". it's funny surprising and very very charming. The best thing from UK since Mistfits. I was wondering on how the script writer managed to talk the main actress into doing all these crazy thing until I realized that it was the same person. Michaela Coel has a great future in front of her. She is really funny.
