Newark, Newark

I don't think we all watched the same program, it cracked me up! Loved it duck lol. I hope they do make more, very reminiscent of people that I met during my childhood in Lincoln.

Good cast, they never introduce the characters and rush to some forces and some what too extreme story line, I sense the pilot had two added and then pulled. Story line is about single mum with a funny non supportive mother, who still wants her to get back with the ex, I didn't love it to be fair and a shame it was not funnier. That said is I think the one star rating is harsh and would possible try it ..... you may disagree.

Newark Newark brilliantly balances humour and heart while keeping snappy dialogue, unpolished characters, and authenticity at its core.

Each actor is so perfectly cast and directed that it's hard to remember you're watching actors playing roles and not locals being filmed while going about their daily lives (sticklers may harp on accents, but pay them no mind). Nathan Foad's pitch-perfect dialogue captures each character's unique voice as he populates this fictional version of his hometown with a host of recognisable yet hyperbolic personalities.

Also of note is the the unique original score and selection of 90s/early 2000s pop hits, both of which help ground this farcical romp in reality.

All in all, if you enjoy absurdist characters, uncurbed authenticity, and unpretentious comedy, "Newark Newark" is a must-watch!

I quite liked it after episode 1. People are going to say do doubt it's not funny but make your own mind up. Not as good as Gavin and Stacey for example but good in its own right. Blimey though £3.99 for salad cream!!

I'm not sure where the poor reviews are coming from, because this is fantastic viewing. Hilarious, and at times painfully cringey - in the best possible way.

Hebburn meets Young Offenders in tone, with more than a whiff of Shameless.
