Not many pilots get made into TV shows 3 years after their inception but here we are...
I might ask why shows with much better writing and acting would be cast aside... Stuff like How Not To Live Your Life, Cuckoo, Uncle, Some Girls... Meanwhile this trash gets made in an effort to be woke and garner support of lefties and feminists... Did nobody tell the Beeb that those are the people more likely to pirate your media and thus they are trying to sell peanuts to the elephant when it's the owner that buys the sodding things not the pachyderm stood in front.
The show starts off with what I am sure is meant to be funny but genuinely is just cringe. Then there is some straight up class bashing... Because it's funny to take aim at the lowest class in the UK and act superior... This is all before you are whisked away to see what is essentially ... Well I don't know how to put it... It's a woman that being forceful and I am sure that back in 2019 when the pilot was first shown this edgy humor would have been genius... Ooooh switching the roles aren't you both smart... I see, the woman is acting like a man... I mean I would accept that had Goodness Gracious Me and other not done the same bit infinitely better 20 odd years ago (could be more I am too young to really remember it, on way past my bedtime!)
Save yourself the effort and go watch Smack The Pony or The Other Girl if you want female fronted comedy. It is out there! This just isn't it.
Poor show and an obvious desperate attempt to fill a channel now the license fee is to be abolished. They cant sell subscription service as is, as it's way too thin, so now bulking up to charge probably double what the license fee already is. The English are so smart saving themselves by having the BBC cost more and possibly have less links to education making getting into the industry even harder given how many start their careers at BBC studios be they presenter, gaffer or even foley artist.
I cannot stress enough - watch Smack The Pony. There is a reason Sally Philips is a national icon and treasure! (and yes it's more than just her but I love her and wish she were my mother cause she is so amazing!)
