    So hilarious

    I thought i would hate this but decided to give it a go!! I was pleasantly surprised. The characters in the series were all very strong and brought so much to each episode. Its a shame it ended so abruptly as i feel there is a lot more they could bring to the show!! Well worth the watch!!

    I want more please!

    Ever since I saw the advertisement trailer on the Television it grabbed my attention. I never got round to watching it for some reason but when I did I was so happy. It's a stand out show to me. Great Comedy! No matter what others say I love the show. It holds something fresh and the characters are so likable. Yes the content is rude and not suitable for certain ages, but isn't that part of the humour? No one has said no to something a little inappropriate I hope is continues for at least one or two more seasons because E4 would be lost without it. Michaela Coel has proved herself to be a great attribute towards modern entertainment!!!

    Brilliant

    This TV series is humorous and utterly brilliant. The mix of religion, early twenties life, and lessons of life, make this TV series unique and highly entertaining for youngsters of my age (22).

    It is such a feel-good series to watch, but with a mere tease of six episodes, more needs to be released. Having just watched the last episode, I can tell that there is easily at least another two seasons of unique material for me to enjoy. Every episode so far has made me laugh out loud, and has definitely made me feel good about myself. Worryingly, some I could even relate to.

    Looking forward to another season - here is hoping the writers read this and release it.

    Hilarious... Excellent.

    I was seeing Chewing Gum on Netflix for quite some time and I was very reluctant to start even one episode. I thank God for making me see the first episode, 200% comedy.

    Michaela Coel - Very talented, beautiful and lovely person.

    Danielle Walters - Very pretty and talented, wish everyone gets friend like her. Robert Lonsdale - Cute, handsome, funny. Shola Adewusi - OMG LOL... Unlimited fun Susan Wokoma - OMG LOL... Unlimited fun

    Totally worth watching. I saw 3 season back to back twice, in 3 days.

    British Comedy for the 21st Century

    This show could have been ruined by a heavy hand on the Director's controls, but it perfectly threads the gap between a bleak-and-gritty portrayal of London's working class (which it is not) and a zany, Poly Anna Utopia where's everything's perfect and nothing is permanent (which it also is not.) The lead actress, creator, and writer, Michaela Coel, is also spot on, ticking all the right boxes of "Hot," "Cute," "Silly," "Vulnerable," and -- yes -- even a deep-seated "Intelligent" with her character. She reminds of classic comediennes like Lucille Ball and pre-political-insanity Jenny McCarthy. I hope Netflix gives several more seasons.
