Review:
Britcom mainstay Robert Popper’s latest sitcom finds two young women living together in London. Becca (Melissa Saint) and Charlie (Tanya Roberts) both work assistant jobs that they hate and spend the rest of their time nihilistically dicking around and amusing themselves at the expense of each other and anyone unlucky enough to cross their path. They clearly have a love for one another but express it through pranking and teasing.
Panned by the papers, this show certainly isn’t unmissable but it’s a little better than the aging journalistic establishment give it credit for and, after weathering the first couple of episodes, its awkward absurdity made me laugh several times.
