Big Boys

Great show, well written, sensitively acted, and overall very very funny.

The whole cast give this show their all.

Love it love it love it.

That is all.

We've been waiting a long time for a kind of coming of age show like this. It has as much heart as it does humour and shows the gay community and its allies as a normal group of people. Not defined by their sexuality.

Plus the soundtrack is great for anyone who spent their 20,s or 30's around 2010.

Big Boys is about a shy kid going to uni and although it has (somewhat-typical for recent Channel Four comedy) Inbetweeners-style humour it has a bit more heart to it than that show and the two leads are allowed to both lean into the silly bawdy humour and yet still be emotionally honest and plausibly genuine.

I enjoyed episode one a lot and will look forward to binging the rest.

First and foremost, this is a comedy and as other reviewers have mentioned, in the genre of the classic British sitcom. In this respect, it performs outstandingly.

Yes, serious issues are tackled but they are not presented in an overbearing way, rather as part of everyday life. Which they are to the people who have to deal with them.

It has some hilarious moments and there are some excellent one-liners in there. It also has serious moments, including a very emotional and tear-jerking finale.

Jon Pointing deserves a special mention for an absolutely stellar performance as Danny. The rest of the cast all gel together nicely and all play their parts well.

My only criticism - it was too short. There needs to be a Season 2. It more than deserves it.

Surprisingly the release went quiet but I am glad to discover it after a review at guardian. If you are into bright blue real life looking dramedies, that is 100% must. Actors, plot, twists and the way how it shot is brilliant. Yes-yes-yes!
