WARNING!!!!!! If you're reading... ignore the reviews comparing the old to the new. One is comedic, one is drama! COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES.
They are entirely different shows with the same characters.
This is amazingly well put together. It covers an array of relative topics such as culture appropriation, gender pronouns, drugs, sex, mental illness, gang violence, cancel culture and much more.
The characters we know and love from the original have been updated and excellently cast with modern tweeks, which allign with an authetic depiction of our society now.
SPOILER ALERT**** Characters such as hillary in my honest opinion in today's society would be pursuing a career as an 'influencer'
I really love the direction the writer's have taken each character so far.
If I was you I would watch the first 3 episodes and then form an opinion but please don't try to compare the two shows. This one for me has so much more to come, the cher depth is apparent from ep1.
By the way the new Gee is a true representation of us brits!
