Only 2 episodes in but loving it especially the main character. It's feels a mix of Inbetweeners, Derry girls and The Boys. Definitely recommend!

You had me at Derry Girls, will be putting that on the list.

Love the main lead! And I was hooked within 5 mins. Enjoy 😊

Yes love it!! Very funny and just feels like something really new

I just binged the whole series over two evenings; I thought it was absolutely hilarious, loved it!

The lead actress is brilliant isn't she! I haven't seen her in anything else before though! I'm trying to stretch it out but so hard not binge!

I've just watched the first 3 episodes, loving it so far!

Totally loving it.
They're all so funny.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 31/01/2023 11:00

Binged it! Absolutely fresh and funny. Hope another series is produced.

Loved it, one of those shows you want to tell everyone about because it's just so good.

I've watched it all over the past two nights. I don't have Disney+ and had no interest in it, or super heroes. Was staying at sisters place for a few days, and started watching on their smart TV. Wow it's been a total surprise. I've never seen the two main actresses before, but I though they were both really excellent.

As an adult I enjoyed it, but was surprised to see something like that on Disney? Nothing visually explicit, but orgasm, cum, etc.

Disney+ has a lot of adult content. You can set different profiles to just show children's content if you prefer.

Loved it. The Cat was the standout actor for me. Some of the powers were hilarious, guy with the superpower to convert anything to PDF in particular

EarlofShrewsbury · 05/02/2023 15:28

I loved this, reminded me of misfits back when it was good.

UnfortunatePoster · 05/02/2023 15:55

Misfits was great when Nathan was in it. Just looked up what Robert Sheehan is doing now, apparently he's in a new version of Red Sonja - had no idea they were redoing that!

LegoGoldenDragon · 05/02/2023 22:26

Been watching it over the past few nights and just finished. Bloody brilliant! Really hope there is a series 2. As a warning, don't watch if you have a cold as I laughter so much I nearly coughed myself to death on several occasions.

So glad others agree! I actually love the lead actress too.

I loved it too (hence the username!).

Felt like a mix between Encanto, and Can’t Cope/Won’t Cope.

Pashazade · 06/02/2023 06:40

Just thought to check for a thread on this. Loved it, really different and funny. The writing is really sharp as well, daft and touching. Wondering what season 2 will bring (hoping it gets commissioned!)

poobaloo · 06/02/2023 10:49

Also came on here to see if there was a thread already. Just finished ep 3, it's bloody brilliant! They're all ace but Jizzlord is particularly brilliant.
And the music is great - Spiritualised!

I've just finished the first episode and have absolutely sobbed after her phone call.... dh looked at me like I was mad.

I was expecting the whole thing to be a comedy!

Persevere! I've finished the whole series now and it was bloody hilarious but with lots of heart.
There's a second series in the pipeline so I'm very pleased about that.

JustDanceAddict · 07/02/2023 20:00

Yes, loved it! Jizzlotd made it for me 😆

TaraMock · 07/02/2023 20:06

I watched episode 1 last night & the last scene really caught me out. I started blubbering too @notanoxfordcomma
It's funny, sad, and sweet all together. Really enjoying it 🥰

honeyandbutterontoast · 07/02/2023 20:09

I’ve seen episode 1 with my DD. Do the other episodes have as much sex in them? She watched most of it from behind a cushion and said she can’t watch it anymore with me 😂😂 Was funny though, did enjoy it but not sure if we need to watch it separately!
