Ladhood

Compelling, accurate and funny depiction of life growing up in the North of England in the late 90s/early noughties. Brought back memories of a misspent youth and made me laugh out loud.

Anyone saying this is a poor inbetweeners is completely missing the point. I couldn't recommend this more.

Was recommended this by a friend and ended up binging it all in one night. It's not the perfect show by a long means but if you're around your 30s now and grew up in the north it will surely hit a lot of nostalgic notes with you.

It's the funniest show I've watched in a while, each episode has at least one laugh out loud moment. Really hope they make a second series, I am told it is based on a radio show, so the material is there.

Brilliant show, very funny, and has a nostalgic feel to it, brings great memories back for me. Well written and a joy able through the whole series.

I stumbled across this on iPlayer not knowing what it was and was pleasantly surprised. Not only is it funny but it's also quite gritty, particularly when he's reflecting on his younger days. The acting is good and doesn't have a cheesy comedy feel to it. I can relate to a lot of stuff in this and it would be good to get a second series.

Liam Williams again launches some very clever comedy reviewing the human condition. Despite the insertion of characters and some spoken narrative it really is a stream of thought ruminating over one simple topic each show.

Here Liam is a fly on the wall observing his formative moments that defined his future behaviours.

What I particularly like is the variety of comedy employed, from irony, through self-deprecation to farce.

My casual observation is this show is for a very sophisticated viewer and not many of those will be found watching on BBC 3

Series 2

Liam carried on examining his formative years to see if that would improve his present. It really was a brilliant script and the acting all round was great.

Series 3 was a great wrapping up of the series as the lads started to go their separate ways, I really enjoyed this whole series it had a really tight insightful script that was genuinely funny throughout

I shouldn't make comparisons but the style of humour is a little like Ricky Gervais and that is the highest of compliments, I can't wait to see was Liam will do next.
