Couldn’t even make it past 20 mins of the first episode. Absolute awful woke rubbish. Felt very virtue-signally, as if there was a representation quota that needed to be met at all costs - black characters check, disabled characters, check. I wouldn’t be surprised if an trans/non-binary character pops up eventually. And before anyone grabs their PC pitchforks, I myself am a black lesbian. It felt very arbitrary and it simply wasn’t a patch on the original. The original was so great because it was almost entirely absent of youth, save for Nath. This version is the opposite. It’s dominated by Gaz’s gobby, obnoxious and unlikeable teenage daughter and her peers. Hugely disappointed with what I’ve seen. The original was a classic that will never go out of style and this one will hopefully fade into obscurity sooner rather than later.
