Can't Cope, Won't Cope (2016–2018)
8/10
Love the Irish Setting!
21 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
If this show wasn't set in Ireland, I doubt I would have watched it. But it IS set there, and as a result, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Their dialects were so great. Genuinely fun to listen to. Seana Kerslake is a delight, even when playing such a trainwreck of a character.

Season 2 has a very different feel, like a sequel with a more comedic tone. The protagonists are separated for much of the season, and comic relief character Lorraine's is significantly expanded upon.

Also, apparently, in Irish Millennial slang, they add the word "like" at the END of 50% of their sentences. I could see where people might find this annoying. Personally, I found it fascinating. And now I find it hilarious.

White Gold (2017–2019)

Yeah... Needs some work

Full disclosure - At the time of posting this, I've only seen the first two episodes. And, listen... I get the whole "anti-hero" thing. But shouldn't the protagonist be at least SOMEWHAT likeable? Like, a smidge, maybe? I mean, Deadpool is funny and self-deprecating and even occasionally helps others.

But, don't worry, peeps! I'm solution-oriented. Get rid of Ed Westwick and the whole "Vincent" character, and bring in Simon Bird and/or Blake Harrison to play a character is actually funny. You're welcome, show!
