Smoggie Queens

Smoggie queens is sharply written with a lot of heart. It's good, fun, silly humour and the kind of joyful sitcom we have been missing for sometime now.

The 5 main characters are all delightfully unique and work well as group ensemble and the last episode absolutely made me so emotional after spending time with this chosen family. It's proper old school camp and I love it. Doesn't hide away from the queer themes and celebrates it, while not alienating non-queer audiences and bringing them in for the laughs.

I had a brilliant time with this show and am desperate for more. It was so nice to be able to sit back and just allow myself to laugh and have fun with an episode of television. Highly recommend Smoggie Queens!!!

I can't get enough of this at all. I've not laughed out loud this much for ages. Really well written, heartfelt, and real. I love the characters, the token lesbian, the fag hag, the drag mother, the rancid queen and the twink - some may say cliché but every group has these on the scene. Very relatable as a gay man that's grown up.on the NE scene and experienced the odd night in the 'boro. Only wish Enpire had been a gay club back then! Please renew this for another ten series, I can't wait for the next installment. Kudos to Dunning for thr writing and all the cast for the acting, what a rare and precious find.

I clicked on this out of bored curiosity and loved it, had to watch them all. I had a good few giggles all the way through, I loved the sign by the front door, I need one of them.

I love the way they actors can take the mick out of themselves but also be so relatable and tender at the same time. I agree it's fresh and raw that shines out amongst a bunch of predictable usual comedies. Whilst the actors were amazingly fab they did not overshadow the writing which was witty, and developed to showcase the humans, not a cause, not tricky humour, just humans being thier true and livable selves.

I hope there is a season two of these amazing queens.

Finally, a queer show that gets it right! Smoggie Queens is a breath of fresh air in a world where so many shows either over sanitise queer lives or drown them in misery. This series strikes the perfect balance - raw and honest, but absolutely packed with laugh-out-loud moments that'll leave you in stitches.

The comedy feels so real because it's grounded in truth and it never feels forced. These characters aren't caricatures; they're people you've met, partied with, or maybe even ghosted. It's messy, it's chaotic, and it's so relatable.

What sets Smoggie Queens apart is that it celebrates the highs and lows of queer life without shying away from the harder stuff. But instead of turning it into a sobfest, it uses humor to shed light on the absurdity of it all. And somehow, through all the jokes, it manages to hit you right in the feels when you least expect it.

If you want a queer show that's both honest and absolutely hilarious, Smoggie Queens is it. It's comedy with heart, and honestly? We need more of it.

Absolutely hilarious, sharp, witty and at times poignant comedy series based in Middlesbrough. Smoggie Queens is well worth watching and as a proud gay Smoggie love that it's putting Middlesbrough and LGBTQ+ community on the map in a positive way. Totally recommend it and hoping there's going to be a 2nd series. And a WOW factor added to it is seeing Michelle Visage having a great part in Smoggie Queens (see if you can spot her). I thoroughly enjoyed watching the whole series on BBC iPlayer laughing, being supportive, loving it. It makes a fabulous change of seeing Middlesbrough being portrayed in a more positive way because that's the experience I have always been proud of myself coming from Middlesbrough, even though not perfect but is mainly a great inclusive town (should be a city by now). Smoggie Queens is fantastic.
