I heard about this situation comedy on BBC Three, I knew it may turn out to be the same standard of Vicious or something, not many laughs and relies on bad language and dirtiness to get some, but I gave this a chance, and actually stuck with it. Basically it works almost the same as Men Behaving Badly, it is based on an award winning one-off sketch, three flatmates, Ben (Ben Clark) who is lazy and cheerful, Matthew (Matthew Crosby) who is geeky and often puns and Tom (Tom Parry) who often tries hair-brained schemes, they are all bad at being adults, hence the title, and we see their various attempts to get somewhere in their personal or career life. Other characters in the show include Matthew's sensible sister Rachel (EastEnder's Emer Kenny) who often visits and sometimes helps them in whatever they are up, and Rachel's boss Carabine (Jack Docherty) who is a little scary towards them. The episodes all consist of mainly banter between the friends, a fair amount of inventive bad language, crazy costumes and scenes occasionally, and ultimately childish behaviour, I admit it is not original and predictable most of the time, but I agree with a critic it is saved by the energetic performances, so all in all it is a reasonably entertaining comedy sitcom. Worth watching!
