Drifters

It has been described as the female inbetweeners and the description is spot on it's very funny and messed up in places. I find Laura particularly funny with her put downs of Gary. I would like there to be more series and it's a shame there isn't more.

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.

'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.

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.

Lying in bed with stomach flu going on day 4, I found "Drifters" on Amazon Prime. Lucky, lucky me. Binge-watched the entire four seasons. Nothing better than crass, crazy humor to take one's mind off feeling nauseous, feverish and completely out of it.

I love this series. I wish they had renewed it for at least two more seasons. I miss all the characters already, What a cast. Each and everyone perfect in his/her role. Stellar writing and acting all 'round.

Laughed out loud too many times to count. The alcoholic culture of UK really shouldn't be this funny, but it was all portrayed so very well.

Please watch this and see if you agree: this is top-notch entertainment.
