Can't Cope, Won't Cope

Just finished season 2 at one go. Although Aisling was annoying till the end, but the show itself was pretty relatable to me who's passing the late 20s crisis. Can't wait for season 3.

Watching this made me think of things that I did in my 20s that I hadn't thought of in years. This was a brilliant depiction of living in the big city as a young woman, and the nature of friendships.

Just discovered this on BBC iplayer as I was desperate to find something to watch. I'm a long time out of Ireland so was prepared for some cringeful 'sure and begorrah' sentimental rubbish. Not so. Having watched the first two episodes I am looking forward to the rest. It starts off with two young women setting out in life.One works for an investment brokerage and the other is an art student. They are chronic boozers and don't take life too seriously. Drink leads them to make 'poor choices' and they are flying by the seat of their pants. The scenes in the club where they are drunk off their faces are so credible and they are all for having another drink.Also the inter office gossip and competition is farcical but has an edge to it. That's what makes it so watchable...we can see things will not always be so easy...

I came across this show on Netflix a few years ago. I wasn't looking for anything in particular but after watching the trailer I decided to sit down and watch the series and I was pleasantly surprised. I did not grow up in the UK however their lives were very relatable to me and my friendships growing up. I absolutely love this show and was completely devastated to learn of Nika McGuigan passing. I will always come back to this for a rainy day watch when I'm feeling down. There's something very nostalgic about that show and if you can relate to their situation it's even more rewarding. I recommend everyone watch it at least once.

Spent the first series having flashbacks to my years at uni and being this drunk while trying to attend t-COLL the next day. I actually stopped drinking after we drank a whole terms worth of home made wine my friend bought back from Taranaki in one weekend. This series is so realistic, and these women are brilliant actors. Writing is tight and the whole scene stealer is Ireland, never been there YET! This is incredibly watchable and also very truthful, still remember having a sit down in a bar with a friend who 4 years after we left uni was still drinking like this and we got her to step away from it because we were all so concerned. Thanks for the memories and great storytelling Ireland!
