This didn't look like it was my kind of thing so I opted out until I heard it was by Caroline Moran, the creator of Raised by Wolves.
The first episode is a bit like gnawing through a raw steak.
There is a lot going on and the characters are introduced as annoying, awful people.
Then there is a time lapse that you hit like a deep step in the dark.
This is actually a bold move - perhaps a little too bold looking at some of the reviews on here.
First of this has great characters.
Are they likeable and gracious?
Hell no!
Caroline Moran is great at creating colourful, interesting characters that are deeply flawed but struggle on.
It is great to see female characters that aren't paragons of virtue or who float around the screen with a supernatural elegance.
Here there is a real spread of characters some are vapid, some devious, some pragmatic, some highly intelligent some overflowing with confidence others crippled by insecurity.
Although larger-than-life I saw elements of the characters from people in my life.
The situation is silly and the show goes out of its way to be crude and vulgar but I never found it crossed into distasteful.
The characters call each other slag and throw sex toys around - but this is all for colour.
This pokes fun at apocalyptic films, hen parties and, most of all, explores the dynamics of friendships and how some friends can be more trouble that they are worth - but we love them anyway.
A silly, fun romp, well acted, very different, with some great ideas tossed around.
For the one star reviewers that only watched the first episode (this won't be to a lot of people's taste) I would recommend forcing yourself to watch the second episode - some of these seemingly insufferable women might grow on you.
