Chewing Gum

I just love Chewing Gum". it's funny surprising and very very charming. The best thing from UK since Mistfits. I was wondering on how the script writer managed to talk the main actress into doing all these crazy thing until I realized that it was the same person. Michaela Coel has a great future in front of her. She is really funny.

This story is humorous and pleasing. For people who comment and believe that this show is black stereotypes, no...it isn't. It's about issues of about religious persecution and how that effect our society today. It's about relationships and just trying to have an open mind during the most life changing moment in your life. I hate in black shows everything is always a stereotype, so if Tracy was into black guys and was just like her friend then it would be normal? No, it would still be about stereotypes. Tracy is a girl whose finally discovering herself in a time that you should have. Just because the actress is black doesn't change the issue. Dang it's like people can't become satisfy unless they stereotype every show with a black face in it.

Simple, light comedy, with toilet humour, sex jokes and filthy laughs! You end up loving the. character and her hapless boyfriend. You find yourself rooting for them both. I can't wait to see what's next for them, great comic timing and chemistry from them when they are in scenes together.

The ex is also hilarious! I'd love more set pieces with Connor, Tracey, and the ex! The actress/writer is clearly talented throwing herself unashamedly into physical slapstick situations. You have to laugh out loud during the opening recap when Connor is shoved into nearby grundon esq bins!

I've reached episode 5 already, and I would recommend it as totally relaxing, uncomplicated and funny viewing. I would love another series.

More please!

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.

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!!
