Funny and quirky, full of moments of “omg, can’t watch, why, can’t not watch”. In a way it’s a very British take on the Friends-template: starting-out young people hanging together, just not living in an unaffordable large apartment over Manhattan, but squatting in a run-down hospital.
Also, I adore Phoebe Waller-Bridge, I cannot imagine why the industry doesn’t squeeze more producing and writing out of her, she’s an absolute blast both as a creator and as an actress.
Finally, this is a dense piece, because there’s not just one but two manic pixie dream girls in a seven-person cast. Although I could argue that besides Lulu and Melody, Fred is also one (being Sam’s pixie) so that would make it three.
