Set in London, where gratification is only an app away, the story centers on Arabella, a carefree, self-assured Londoner with a group of great friends, a boyfriend in Italy, and a burgeoning writing career. But when her drink is spiked, she must question and rebuild every element of her life.
I can't wait for the second half of the season to be released in the US. I love watching a new episode each week. Michaela Coel is such an interesting writer and actor. This show is partially autobiographical and addresses specific issues of racism and sexism within the writing world. In addition to Coel, the entire cast is great. Excited to see more!
I can not rave about this show enough. This is the show I've been looking for. In the enormous array of tv shows aimed at young adults and millenials, there is something missing. And it's Black representation. This show checked all of the boxes. In my opinion, this show is the perfect show for Black girls growing up in the age of technology and social media. Michaela Coel is a GENIUS. The writing. The acting. The cinematography. Everything is amazing. The characters feel so real, and I felt myself crying along with them and laughing along with them, and few shows make me feel that way. I loved seeing how racism and sexism functioned in British society. As an American, I definitely loved how the show explored Black british culture, which is definitely not represented in American media that often. Even though, the show has only been running for a season, it has definitely turned into my favorite TV show of 2020, and dare I say, of all time.
