Such Brave Girls

Such Brave Girls is a return to the best of British comedy. With clear inspiration from Peep Show and The Inbetweeners, it is fresh, dark, clever, and hysterical from start to finish. Every character is unique, weird, and hilarious - I have genuinely never seen a show where each character adds so much value like Such Brave Girls. The sisterly love/hate between Billie and Josie is relatable and loveable, and every other line is quotable.

I have not laughed at a show like I did for SBG in about 5 years. Got my girlfriend, her housemates, my family, even my grandparents watching this and every single person has LOVED it. You will be in hysterics!!

A family of three (mom and two daughters) is trying to solve their existential problems involving love, trauma, money, housing, by hooking up with men that they think are there to grab.

The mother is lying and doing her best to charm a single odd man who has a big house with heated floor though he never pays for anything in their relationship.

The beautiful daughter is being silly after a guy who cheats on her and leaves her every time he feels like it.

The second daughter is a wannabe complex girl who is afraid of anything and is making excuses to drop and run away from anything coming her way.

I love all three of them.

The comedy is smart, at a fast pace, quirky, and has few sexual scenes, one in particular involving the two sisters trying to test for pregnancy right after one had sex. Imagine what s coming down.. Anyway, big surprise seeing such a unique take on comedy and drama.

You should see this one.

It might be because I hyper identify with this family dynamic, but this is the greatest, tight season of comedy tv I've seen in a good long while. Damn, Brits take self deprecation to another level of art and I'm all for it. Kat Sadler is an incredibly talented writer and artist. The most compelling drawing of a horse I've ever seen.

Every character is great. The actor who plays Seb is like a bizarro Michael Cera but funnier. Billie goes all in on being "that girl" and the desperation is palpable. There's complexity in here that mocks tropes and is totally self aware. I also love the nod to bodily functions, and the closeness of female relationships. This show kind of addresses all the qualms I have with quirky sitcoms! Can't wait to see more.

Such Brave Girls is definitely one of the best British comedies in recent years. The writing is strong and the performances hit the mark without fail. In some ways I felt I developed a morbid fascination with watching a slow motion car crash of a family dynamic, if that makes sense. It's pretty dark and deals with some fairly serious issues in a totally unsensational way, driven throughout by the sister's dysfunctional relationship with each other and with their mother. The only minor gripe I had was that sometimes the (almost) constant abuse Josie receives verges on the gratuitously cruel and that is walking a fine line. However, the series overall is a gem and the best thing I've watched in quite some time.

I found this by chance and I found it weirdly compelling to watch it all. Absolutely loved it, I really need a season 2 as it left me with my questions than answers, I found the dynamics of the family played well of each other.

It felt very like dry humour, I am autistic so I think that's why I used the words weirdly, it felt very much like mother land sort of vibe like you New something would go wrong but you could help but watch it

I really liked it how ever, all the actors played their roles well and the writing was fantastic. I might watch season 1 again to understand it better.

Defo give the first two eps a try to make your mind up.
