Review:
Josie has just got out of inpatient psychiatric care and is back living with her mum Deb and sister Billie, the driving forces behind Josie’s very low self-esteem and lack of stable identity. Narcissistic Deb is dating a widower for his money and Billie is desparate to find a man who won’t leave her like their dad did.
It feels like therapeutic shitposting and every laugh – which thanks to the tight script and comedic gestures of the actors come thick and fast – is tinged with an “ooof that’s dark”. It’s scarily relatable and fantastic work from writer-star Kat Sadler.
Content notes (may contain spoilers): some of the least erotic sex on television, bodily fluids, unhealthy relationships
