Newark, Newark

I'm not sure where the poor reviews are coming from, because this is fantastic viewing. Hilarious, and at times painfully cringey - in the best possible way.

Hebburn meets Young Offenders in tone, with more than a whiff of Shameless.

Hilarious, weird and different. Why are there only 3 episodes? So many great characters and a flawless performance from Morgana Robinson. We need more insane comedies like this.

I don't think we all watched the same program, it cracked me up! Loved it duck lol. I hope they do make more, very reminiscent of people that I met during my childhood in Lincoln.

Good cast, they never introduce the characters and rush to some forces and some what too extreme story line, I sense the pilot had two added and then pulled. Story line is about single mum with a funny non supportive mother, who still wants her to get back with the ex, I didn't love it to be fair and a shame it was not funnier. That said is I think the one star rating is harsh and would possible try it ..... you may disagree.

I really liked this show, it was a real struggle to stop myself bingeing the whole thing in one go. The characters are funny and compelling, the story is engaging and most of all it's funny!

I don't understand the reviews on here that say it isn't, I suspect their issue is not with the quality of the show itself and more that it's just not their type of thing. I can see how, to audiences that prefer Gold's repeats from the 70s, it wouldn't appeal but I have to say I think it's a very promising sign of what Gold is hoping to put out in the future.

Only three episodes though, hopefully there will be more in the future? I think I remember the creator Nathan Foad hinting there would be (maybe on his Instagram) but I don't know if I'm remembering that correctly. Either way, it would be a real shame if we didn't get another series of this.

Overall, I strongly recommend!
