Newark, Newark

OK.. it's exaggerated but that's TV for you. And although the slang exists I think it was way over used.

The people who are complaining about how the show portrays newark obviously are not the same people who would have watched shows like shameless for example.

I actually quite enjoyed it and I thought the acting was good.

But Obviously there is plenty of room for improvement.

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!

I quite liked it after episode 1. People are going to say do doubt it's not funny but make your own mind up. Not as good as Gavin and Stacey for example but good in its own right. Blimey though £3.99 for salad cream!!

For what it is I absolutely enjoyed it for three episodes a laugh every other minute and Morgana Robinson is class as usual and Beverly callard back in comedy since two pints of lager and a packet of crisps.

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.
