Fresh Meat

I had no idea what Fresh Meat was when it popped up on Netflix and just decided to watch because I recognised Joe Thomas and Jack Whitehall. By god though this show is so watchable. The writing of series is so natural and the characters are hilarious but also very relatable. I particularly love Jack Whitehall in this but all the main characters are great and each one is so unique and different from the others. The dynamics between them all are outstanding.

What this show does absolutely amazingly however is building up incredibly awkward and messed up scenarios with a huge amount of complexity. When those episodes show up and you get these amazing scenes where loads of the plots intertwine it makes for some of the funniest scenes in television.

Basically I 100% recommend this show for an outlandish snapshot of uni life that likes to get experimental and weird. Genuinely very good.

Also I really love the soundtrack for this with lots of electronic music. Just wish I could find more of the stuff on Spotify!

Absolutely loved it.

It was a sort of cocktail of Peep Show, Inbetweeners, Spaced and How Not To Live Your Life.

Throw in a sort of modern Fawlty Towers feel to it and you are on to a cult classic.

However it is more than that, it has its emotional moments when needed, great acting and fantastic, relatable characters.

I would recommend this to anyone with a love for any of the above referenced shows.

In fact, sack that, anyone who just love a good laugh.

Cannot wait for the next, and sadly final, series to be released.

10/10

This show is fantastic through and through. I was really pleased when BBC decided to air it in the states and so glad I stumbled across it.

Like many, Joe Thomas drew me to this show. Liked him in the inbetweeners and figured I would in this and I was certainly correct.

This show hits it on the head on every single level. Firstly the production value is super high in this show. The music/audio is great; awesome theme song and equally good incidental music throughout the episodes. The cinematography set and production design is also superb. Long story short; phenomenal production.

This leads us to the actors. Once again, freakin amazing. I was worried Joe Thomas would play the same role as he did in the inbetweeners but the character is unique enough to realize it is not a clone of his old character. He is quite funny in this.

The other actors in the show also do an incredible job. Kimberley Nixon is my new favorite actress. She absolutely kills it in the series (as does her co stars). I really can't speak highly enough about the acting in the show, just give it a watch and see.

The writing is also amazing. Even though I'm an American I can recall so many similar personalities from my time in college here in the states. The posh rich guy, the eccentric girl who dresses completely over the top (Oregon) and the reclusive nerdy guy (mr. Howard maccullum) to name a few.

So in closing I will say that this show is absolutely brilliant in every level. As an American writing this I think I am proof positive it has much international appeal. It is one of the best shows on TV right now and in my opinion the best damn comedy I've seen in years.

It's like a lunar eclipse. Every few years or so everything lines up to create this remarkable event. That event is Fresh Meat.

Easy and laid back but very clever humor. The character of JP played by Jack Whitehall is a particular stand out. The character of oregon aswell reminds me of every college student trying to find a stand out identity but looking like they are trying too hard.

This show reminds me of a much wittier, much dirtier version of Apatow's 'Undeclared'. I found this show from looking into the shows related to The Inbetweeners, which I always found cheesy but extremely watchable. I found out Joe Thomas (Simon Cooper in Inbetweers) was in this college comedy and I became intrigued. Then, I watched a few episodes and I was sold.

This is one of the better college comedy shows that has come around in a while, and considering how deep on the net I had to dig to find out about it, I am sure it is massively under-watched in the U.S. Hopefully it gets up on Netflix or something so it can get some recognition over here.

There are plenty of cliché situations, but these are clichés because they truly do tend to happen to everyone who attends college, whether in the U.S. or the U.K or wherever. I love the unique blending of characters and the filter-less nature of the dialogue. Anyone in college, recently graduated, or seeking some nostalgia should have no problem relating to the relationship drama, the wit, the parties, and the sense of confusion which naturally arise from throwing a bunch of young people into one small area (be it the college on a larger scale, or the house/dorm on a smaller one).
