Has anyone else fallen utterly in love with this series?

I’m sat here counting the hours until the kids go to bed so I can binge watch two episodes whilst munching on cheese Doritos.

And how gorgeous is Boxer?!

...anyone else?

Yes, it’s great. Didn’t get the attraction to Boxer until episode 6 - but when he comes out to the fields to rescue Zoe 😍
I’m also really enjoying the music, and pleased to see that Ministry of Sound have brought out a playlist of all of the songs in the series.

Heard people discussing this at work and how they enjoyed it.
Also that Boxer was indeed, a bit of alright.

I found my people I really enjoyed it loved the music.

mommybear1 · 02/06/2020 17:53

Loved it - no spoilers but I was disappointed with the end! And it's a yes to Boxer Wink

AllsortsofAwkward · 02/06/2020 18:13

I think we will get a 2nd series I think Anna's oldest is Axels.

toothfairy73 · 02/06/2020 18:21

I LOVED it. Love love love the music. It's fab. I was a little shocked it is only a 15 when there are orgy scenes though!

AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 02/06/2020 18:25

Loved it! DH and I watched the whole season in 3 nights Grin

AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 02/06/2020 18:27

@AllsortsofAwkward Axel died 20 years ago and Annas eldest is in her teens, I'm sure she's still at school? Confused

devildeepbluesea · 02/06/2020 18:28

I really disliked it! Gave me a bad feeling, didn't warm to the characters and just found watching it quite stressful. Also it wasn't very funny. However, I do agree about Boxer...🔥🔥🔥

StuntCroissant · 02/06/2020 18:36

What??!! I love a bit of trash TV but I thought it was truly DIRE! The acting and script was appalling. It was like a mix of Kevin & Perry with El Dorado and Hollyoaks. Sooo many plot holes and unanswered questions!

daisypond · 02/06/2020 18:41

Started watching this with my 20-year-old daughters. Liked the first episode, but it has gone rapidly downhill. Now on episode four, and we’re bored, while laughing at it - not a good combination. Some of the acting is dire. We’re not going to watch any more.

KaronAVyrus · 02/06/2020 18:42

Watched a couple of episodes but just couldn’t get into it.

ElectricTonight · 02/06/2020 18:46

I was excited to watch it , watched half of the first episodes and it just wasn't my kind of show, thought it was boring.

Truzza · 02/06/2020 18:53

Bloody loved it! But it was my era 😬
Didn't ever do the 90's Ibiza thing. Totally regret that now 😩

But as kids we were out there all the time

You can follow boxer (actor) on insta btw 😃

Cloudhopping · 02/06/2020 18:57

I think the acting is awful(apart from Daniel Mayes), the storyline ridiculous and all the characters are horrid but I can’t help quite liking it.

loutypips · 02/06/2020 18:59

I loved it. Agree that Boxer is muy guapo! 😍
Think there may be a second series...

sparkli · 02/06/2020 18:59

I binged it in a day. Loved it! And Boxer Grin

Goggle1968 · 02/06/2020 18:59

I loved it but I thought the ending was a bit weird. So many opportunities that could have meant a different outcome for Axel.

pinktaxi · 02/06/2020 19:04

DH knows the young man who did the background music. He says he did all the music, but I'm not exactly sure how that works. I'll have to have a look!

SouthernComforts · 02/06/2020 19:09

It started off ok then got more and more ridiculous, wtf was the random incest episode about Confused. The main actress had a terrible annoying accent too. We watched it all just to see how much more surreal it would get! The only characters I slightly liked were Boxer and Marcus.

Fuckityfucksake · 02/06/2020 19:31

I think we're on episode 7 (can't be many left now) and we are just seeing it through now.
First 2 were ok but then it went to shit imo
Agree about the terrible accent! I think she done 3 different ones in the 1st episode :) I hated her husband from first seeing him - no wonder she didn't want to return when she had boxer instead haha
Plus I also think I hate Axel so don't really care what happened to him anymore!
Will probably get it finished tonight.

Goggle1968 · 02/06/2020 19:51

Oh I forgot about the incest episode! That was pretty weird. I did love the music though. As a girl from Manchester who went to Ibiza when she was 18 it was fab to watch. I wasn’t that wild though!

SophocIestheFox · 02/06/2020 19:59

It was ridiculous brain candy but I still watched all of it Grin

Loved the music and the settings, ignored the plot holes and the bonkersness and just let it wash over me as a total escape back to my yoof. It’s deeply silly but kind of charmingly so.

foxyknoxy30 · 02/06/2020 20:00

Am totally in love with Boxer 😍
