My Left Nut

I founded this on my recommendation section on the bbc iPlayer and am a big fan of things such as the young offenders and this country, and was expecting something like that.

I then watched the first episode of the series and LOVED it. The characters were great and well casted. This was not what I was expecting at all, but is one of my favourites that bbc have made recently. This show gave me so many mixed emotions and feeling in the space i watched it (all in one) and made me cry for the first time in a while about a tv show.

I would totally recommend this, I loved it

As a 58-year-old American male, I'm not exactly the target market for this show. But I absolutely loved it. The right combination of comedy, drama, and pathos, plus some top-notch acting. I really hope there'll be a second series. The whole cast is great, but it's always a treat to see Jay Duffy. Being a fan of his dad, and watching him throughout the years, it's nice to be able to follow a young actor to maturity. Well done all around!

I've just watched this and was pleasantly surprised. The story was well told and the actors were very believable and engaging. It made you laugh cry and care about what was happening to the characters. Everyone involved must have a bright future.

A truly touching and funny comedy/drama, that was beautifully presented with superb actors delivering excellent performances. I laughed and cried in equal measure. It highlights the difficulties of being a teenager dealing with puberty, and that horrible transition from easy, carefree childhood to adulthood. Only in this case there's the added 'bonus' of facing a potentially life threatening illness, together with grieving the loss of a parent. On the surface, that may make it sound drab and depressing, however, it's anything but! It's a tale of love, family, friendship and a good deal of humour in the face of adversity. An overall well crafted mini series that should not be missed!

For the the first 15 minutes of episode 1, I thought it was going to be like an Irish version of The Inbetweeners. How wrong could I be! Well done to the BBC in covering a sensitive topic. Not just the possibility of teenage testicular cancer but the importance of telling friends and family. The acting is excellent, in particular Sinead Keenan who plays the mother. This deserves to be shown on either BBC 1 or 2.
