Clique

Finishing the short but sweet 6 episode season 'Clique', I'm not left feeling deflated!

Clique is a drama that is dark, entertaining and quite sexy- whilst not trying to be too philosophical about itself. Watch this show because you enjoy dramas with a thick (and perhaps, unrealistic) plot and good looking actors who all do a great job. Also, watch this show if you're into nice aesthetics combined with great filming; it does just that.

Not too much of a slow burner, but not too fast either, 'Clique' conveys the slow decline of a friendship between two young women as they enter a darker, grown up world at university. With lots of drugs (which I found slightly too much, considering they're meant to be broke students, but hey! It's still a fun watch) and mystery that is actually engaging, this show doesn't disappoint- unless you're not into glossy late- teen shows, then stay away!

All in all, an interesting show that pokes at gender roles and feminism in a dark and engaging way- I highly recommend and PLEASE HAVE A SECOND SEASON!

Nothing has yet to top the impact Skins had on the british youth from its representation of class, poverty struggles and adolescent drama. Clique looking seemingly fill this spot using the backdrop of university fails to act as both a young adolescent drama and crime story. The story is unbelievable at best whereby the suspension of disbelief is trying to the viewer, yes the story doesn't have to be held to precisely real world dramas of a university student, but then again the shooting and setting of Clique attempts to lend itself to some sort of university cultural reality, which it most certainly does not succeed in. The nagging lead female character (I've honestly forgot her name) which pushes away her friends because one second your a saint before university and the next your a drug raddled prostitute taking part in university initiations is just hilarious. I couldn't watch more than four episodes before I tapped out and realised that what's been created should be forgotten.

Loved the setting, Edinburgh idea, the female friendships and the bromance, it scares you too sometimes but that's what thrillers should do. And Holly, we love Holly!

I read the description and expected it to be a banale teenage seeries. What I saw was an excellent Scottish crime drama. It's about young people yes, but then not only. Good plot, good actors.

Found the plot incredibly engaging and complex. It draws you in and you won't be able to stop watching until you've finished the series. Characters are complex and are very well acted with strong leads. The tone is dark whilst still maintaining some lighter moments. Overall a good watch that is thought compelling and exciting at the same time. Worth the time!
