Loaded

* Nice settings and atmosphere * Interesting characters * sometimes too shallow * i assume it contains hidden "easter eggs" * all in all quite good

Was by far the funniest comedie I have seen in a long time on Netflix. Unfortunately all the series were about weirdos, psychopaths and murderers and kind of depressing. Loaded is also about a bunch of weirdos but in the good way. My god. Give me moah!

I just watched Loaded and I enjoyed it tremendously.

Looking when Season 2 will be released I got quite a shock.

I wanted to write because I think it was great! Some critics said the characters were to mean and unlikeable, but I would like to disagree. They were human, and most humans are not very likeable. The decisions of the characters and their flaws were portraited very believable and that is what good writing should be. I am looking forward to see more great shows like Loaded even though it won't be season 2.

I get the premise. What happens when 20 somethings hit the jackpot with their business and sell it to a big corporation? I liked the different types of characters that play off each other. The party animal with little technical talent, the geeks, the oddball genius, etc.

Definitely a series that requires watching a few episodes to appreciate what they're trying to do with this setup.

The biggest problem is that none of the sub plots and story lines really go anywhere. None are delved in to deep enough to make them interesting, none of the character's back-stories are made compelling enough to care about them. You're left just watching these 4 likely-lads and their farcical antics.

There's also some rather glaring plot holes and stories that are started and cut short for seemingly no reason.

The series finishes with a half-baked story-line option for a 2nd series but I can't really see where it could go from there. Maybe spend more time with each character and have one good story-line rather than lots of half decent ones.

The casting is great, can't knock any of the actors. But I think this may not get a 2nd series.

Adapted from an Israeli series - Loaded is the story of four friends who design a mobile game and become multi-millionaires. Released in the age of austerity it likely rankled with its wild depictions of spending excess but the real heart of the series is the relationship between the central four - it can be clunky but the chemistry between them is palpable and it's a series I've always been oddly fond of. It should also be said that even after three years the depiction of mobile gaming is very dated (NO MICRO TRANSACTIONS?!?) but the central themes of "selling out" and artistic vision are still quite relevant.

The real draw here for me is the rarely-seen Jonny Sweet as the hyper-nervy anxietylord Ewan. His comic timing is glorious and although he appears a fair amount on BBC radio you rarely get to see his magnificent visage. Additionally there's some great Brit comedy cameos. Underrated I'd say.
