Smoggie Queens

I clicked on this out of bored curiosity and loved it, had to watch them all. I had a good few giggles all the way through, I loved the sign by the front door, I need one of them.

I love the way they actors can take the mick out of themselves but also be so relatable and tender at the same time. I agree it's fresh and raw that shines out amongst a bunch of predictable usual comedies. Whilst the actors were amazingly fab they did not overshadow the writing which was witty, and developed to showcase the humans, not a cause, not tricky humour, just humans being thier true and livable selves.

I hope there is a season two of these amazing queens.

Finally, a queer show that gets it right! Smoggie Queens is a breath of fresh air in a world where so many shows either over sanitise queer lives or drown them in misery. This series strikes the perfect balance - raw and honest, but absolutely packed with laugh-out-loud moments that'll leave you in stitches.

The comedy feels so real because it's grounded in truth and it never feels forced. These characters aren't caricatures; they're people you've met, partied with, or maybe even ghosted. It's messy, it's chaotic, and it's so relatable.

What sets Smoggie Queens apart is that it celebrates the highs and lows of queer life without shying away from the harder stuff. But instead of turning it into a sobfest, it uses humor to shed light on the absurdity of it all. And somehow, through all the jokes, it manages to hit you right in the feels when you least expect it.

If you want a queer show that's both honest and absolutely hilarious, Smoggie Queens is it. It's comedy with heart, and honestly? We need more of it.

Laugh-out-loud funny throughout. A contemporary take on life in a post-industrial northern town that will make you laugh 'til you cry, then cry 'til you laugh again. Charming, witty, ridiculous and heartwarming in equal measure. Whether you wear a dress at the weekend or a pair of overalls, there is something here for you. Both celebratory of our proud LGBTQ+ community and of the wider idiosyncrasies of Middlesbrough life; this show is a charming love letter to a much derided part of our country and the resilience, humour and creativity of the people who reside there.

Well written, acted and delivered. Season 2 please!!!

What a brilliant funny easy to watch witty comedy drama. Love this series. Only found it because of a BBC3 clip I watched. Cant wait for season 2,3,4,5 + . Easy to watch. It's for everyone both LGBTQI and the hetro community 😆. Everybody should watch it. They storylines are easy to follow and characters loveable. This will brighten up a winters evening for anyone. A great BBC3 comedy drama. Shame it's not heavily advertised it needs to be on in the evening on BBC1 after Eastenders. Fun for all the family, neighbors and friends. Easy to watch and binge watch as each episode is only 30 minutes long.

I can't get enough of this at all. I've not laughed out loud this much for ages. Really well written, heartfelt, and real. I love the characters, the token lesbian, the fag hag, the drag mother, the rancid queen and the twink - some may say cliché but every group has these on the scene. Very relatable as a gay man that's grown up.on the NE scene and experienced the odd night in the 'boro. Only wish Enpire had been a gay club back then! Please renew this for another ten series, I can't wait for the next installment. Kudos to Dunning for thr writing and all the cast for the acting, what a rare and precious find.
