My Left Nut

I founded this on my recommendation section on the bbc iPlayer and am a big fan of things such as the young offenders and this country, and was expecting something like that.

I then watched the first episode of the series and LOVED it. The characters were great and well casted. This was not what I was expecting at all, but is one of my favourites that bbc have made recently. This show gave me so many mixed emotions and feeling in the space i watched it (all in one) and made me cry for the first time in a while about a tv show.

I would totally recommend this, I loved it

Saw an interview with Michael Patrick on Russel Howard's show about his experience and this show so decided to give it a go. Funny and heartfelt this deals with the subject many male teens and men will have encountered in their lifetime and that it putting off going to the doctor when you have an ailment and the importance not to. In this 3 episode comedy drama the much lengthier story of how Michael put off having a swollen testical looked at when he was a teen is dramatised with comedy and the impact that situation had on his life

Highly recommend this and is essential viewing for teenagers in my opinion

A big swollen finger to the nits who decided not to renew this series. It's a great production, well cast and wonderful story. It's not often that you see male centered story like this that isn't drowning in cliches.

Certainly something I was not expecting to binge watch. Thoroughly impressed by this show, particularly the acting which was so well done by the whole cast- it had me fully engaged in their world within minutes of the first episode. Different to many coming of age dramas, this show portrays issues that are so rarely touched on. Scenes between the Mother and Son were so exquisite. And I found the genuine relationships between the boys and also with the girlfriend very touching. Thoroughly recommend- although beware. This may leave you craving more episodes.

I love all local films / series here in Ireland and this one is no different, it really hit the nail on the head on illustrating teen relationships and the character betrayal of a mother raising three kids was perfect.

7 / 10!
