Drifters

A bunch of idiotic friends unable to adult, having fun doing crap jobs and having a raucous life. I loved it. I came to check if another series was planned whilst watching the writer on Travel Man and needed to leave a review.

It's got Bob Mortimer in it which is why I started watching it. The casting is good. It's got great character-development and genuine gags.

The formula works well. It lasted a few seasons. The comedy is there and it is refreshing although it quickly gets repetitive on the gags being sexualised.

It's very lewd for most UK comedy shows. It's for a matuer audience. I enjoyed it and it had enough chemistry to keep me watching but compared to what is on offer already in the UK it is a bit lacking.

Similar humour to Inbetweeners. Potty humour which does not work for everyone. It's a dry delivery and the sketches are generally good but the situation is almost always desparate which is where the comedy is.

A strong 7/10.

Drifters follow three friends who share and flat after university and have not yet got their lives quite figured out. As they try to progress in their lives they encounter many downfalls in their lives and relationships. You can really relate to the characters in Drifters, we have all been Meg, Laura and even Bunny at some point in our lives. We get ourselves into tricky and embarrassing situations which we don't know how to get out of and end up embarrassing ourselves even more... and this is what is great about this show... the characters are believable, flawed and unbelievably relatable. It's unlike a polished comedy where everything is canned laughter and sunshine, it really shows you the awkward, messy and laughable side of life, especially as a woman, there are not many comedies out there that show that actually, women can just be as immature, awkward and embarrassing and funny as men (haha) The performances are great, you can tell the actors really enjoy their roles and that's what brings a show to life. You can just imagine how much fun they must have on set. Not to mention, the hilarious story lines. It's easy to get into and binge on and it really helps to brighten your day.

'Drifters' is sometimes unbelievable funny. The three girls in the center actually aren't girls anymore, they are women, but occasionally extremely childish, helpless, deceitful, or, among other 'features', simply dumb.

They always fail on an epic scale with their versions of loving, being happy, finding a job, standing on their own feet, finding the right partner, being smart, being popular and so on, because if they achieve something, they are messing it up, always.

Now, one would think that they aren't likable, but they are. Very. After every failure they manage to overlook its reasons and continue to stand tall, despite any embarrassments.

This is one of my most beloved comedies, and it's always sad to have only six episodes a season. I'd like to have sixteen.

Stumbled across this after a clip popped up on Facebook. Watched the whole 4 seasons and really enjoyed them. Very funny in places with some great laugh out loud moments. Highly recommended if you want to take your brain out and chill out!
