What a brilliant funny easy to watch witty comedy drama. Love this series. Only found it because of a BBC3 clip I watched. Cant wait for season 2,3,4,5 + . Easy to watch. It's for everyone both LGBTQI and the hetro community π. Everybody should watch it. They storylines are easy to follow and characters loveable. This will brighten up a winters evening for anyone. A great BBC3 comedy drama. Shame it's not heavily advertised it needs to be on in the evening on BBC1 after Eastenders. Fun for all the family, neighbors and friends. Easy to watch and binge watch as each episode is only 30 minutes long.
Smoggie queens is sharply written with a lot of heart. It's good, fun, silly humour and the kind of joyful sitcom we have been missing for sometime now.
The 5 main characters are all delightfully unique and work well as group ensemble and the last episode absolutely made me so emotional after spending time with this chosen family. It's proper old school camp and I love it. Doesn't hide away from the queer themes and celebrates it, while not alienating non-queer audiences and bringing them in for the laughs.
I had a brilliant time with this show and am desperate for more. It was so nice to be able to sit back and just allow myself to laugh and have fun with an episode of television. Highly recommend Smoggie Queens!!!

If only there was more!!! This show had me and the missus laughing our heads off from start to finish. Heartfelt and witty and portrays Middlesbrough perfectly. Each character is loveable and hysterical in their own ways making you want to be in this tight group of best friends. The writing is superb with many one-liners that I will continue to use. The highs and lows of life are honest and relatable making you appreciate each character individually. I hope I hope I hope there will be another series. I may be a Geordie but us northerners will always unite to support each other. I highly highly recommend this show.
As a local, I had initial reservations about this show, particularly given that past productions set in the area haven't always captured the essence of Middlesbrough. However, from the very first five minutes, this show had me hooked. It's genuinely laugh-out-loud funny and truly captures the spirit of Middlesbrough in a way that feels authentic and unique. The writing is sharp, and it's clear that a great deal of time and effort has gone into its production. What's particularly refreshing is its representation of the LGBTQ+ community, blending humor with inclusivity in a way that's both impactful and entertaining. As a proud Smoggie, I'm thrilled to see such a standout show. Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing it to life.
Absolutely hilarious, sharp, witty and at times poignant comedy series based in Middlesbrough. Smoggie Queens is well worth watching and as a proud gay Smoggie love that it's putting Middlesbrough and LGBTQ+ community on the map in a positive way. Totally recommend it and hoping there's going to be a 2nd series. And a WOW factor added to it is seeing Michelle Visage having a great part in Smoggie Queens (see if you can spot her). I thoroughly enjoyed watching the whole series on BBC iPlayer laughing, being supportive, loving it. It makes a fabulous change of seeing Middlesbrough being portrayed in a more positive way because that's the experience I have always been proud of myself coming from Middlesbrough, even though not perfect but is mainly a great inclusive town (should be a city by now). Smoggie Queens is fantastic.
