Ladhood

Ladhood

Liam Williams again launches some very clever comedy reviewing the human condition. Despite the insertion of characters and some spoken narrative it really is a stream of thought ruminating over one simple topic each show.

Here Liam is a fly on the wall observing his formative moments that defined his future behaviours.

What I particularly like is the variety of comedy employed, from irony, through self-deprecation to farce.

My casual observation is this show is for a very sophisticated viewer and not many of those will be found watching on BBC 3

Series 2

Liam carried on examining his formative years to see if that would improve his present. It really was a brilliant script and the acting all round was great.

Series 3 was a great wrapping up of the series as the lads started to go their separate ways, I really enjoyed this whole series it had a really tight insightful script that was genuinely funny throughout

I shouldn't make comparisons but the style of humour is a little like Ricky Gervais and that is the highest of compliments, I can't wait to see was Liam will do next.

I did not grow up in the north of England, but this show captures a moment in time that I think will bring back memories for anyone in their 30s or 40s.

Looks like he has got a second season so looking forward to more craziness from the lads from Leeds !

I stumbled across this on iPlayer not knowing what it was and was pleasantly surprised. Not only is it funny but it's also quite gritty, particularly when he's reflecting on his younger days. The acting is good and doesn't have a cheesy comedy feel to it. I can relate to a lot of stuff in this and it would be good to get a second series.

Compelling, accurate and funny depiction of life growing up in the North of England in the late 90s/early noughties. Brought back memories of a misspent youth and made me laugh out loud.

Anyone saying this is a poor inbetweeners is completely missing the point. I couldn't recommend this more.

This is the first show I've watched that absolutely nails my adolescent years in the early/mid noughties. This show is literally a biography of me and my friends when we were kids. Skins was something about young people that I could never relate to, the Inbetweeners (as funny as it was) was only relatable on a sexual level (in the sense that as a teenager I had none or very little) but Ladhood is something entirely different. Not only is it hilarious, it accurately sums up the attitudes and culture of that era and how it has morphed an entire generation into who we are today.

One of the funniest shows I've watched on a very long time. Very highly recommend.
