White Gold (2017–2019)
10/10
Retro like Stranger Things, Funny like Inbetweeners
10 February 2019
Ok, so it's easy to compare something to The Inbetweeners, especially when it stars two of their cast (Joe Thomas and James Buckley), but the humour is pretty much the same in many parts. It's almost like we're watching Jay and Simon live out their lives in the 80s after finding a time machine and getting stuck back there. The attention to historical detail is brilliant, and the soundtrack is awesome if you love the 80s vibe. If you were a child of the 80s, you will definitely spot the little added bits of detail - Look In magazine, Little Chef, various logos, cars, technology of the time - the set designers have worked hard on this. Overall, don't take this too seriously, it's good, solid, British comedy at its dirtiest, and it's here to make you laugh. Roll on Season 2, which is currently filming!
