I've just finished watching the first two episodes. So far, so good I thought. I actually laughed out loud quite a few times, especially during the disaster date scene!

Will stick with it
It picks up towards the end. I liked the 2nd episode more.
Me too. The red-haired girl looks like a slightly fuller version of Isla Fisher.
Exactly what I was going to say next. Funny when Laura was trying to arouse her boyfriend.
I'm looking forward to the 2nd now.
Laura calling up her ex-boyfriends: "Hi it's Laura, you got scabies. Bye" So funny!
When they are at the restaurant (Meg and her date) and she follows Bunny's advice by ordering oysters
Impressed now.
Yeah it was, though I thought she was rather hard in him. Thought he was more attractive than her!
Yeah I was alternating between laughing and cringing during the oyster/disaster date scene!
Same, and when they realise they are at a wake: Laura's dancing!
Definitely tuning in next week, you?
Yep for sure.
ETA: And talking of cringe-fests, what about that puking-in-the-bin-by-the-bus scene towards the end?! :eek:
Luved the girl wanting to be depressed to get sympathy/attention. Bit touche in this day & age with depression almost seen as "hip" by some people.
V strong episode, hope the rest of this series is on the same level.
Good that we all agree episode 2 was far better. For all the right and wrong reasons (the cringe-fests you point out)
I'd give:
Ep.1 - 3/5
Ep.2 - 4.5/5
It was. I think they should keep clingy ex in; she can live with him and he can keep clinging like a limpet to her. As long as she still gets to go on cringetastic disaster dates, I'm happy.
It shows that we all have exceptional taste.
I enjoyed the 'that's my bus!' factor of it being set in Leeds.
Will give it another go next week...
only reason I watched it
I know so many girls out there like Bonnie, so it's funny to see it being dramatised on tv. Especially loved her wannabe depression. Laura's dancing at the wake, and the disaster date! Great stuff
I decided to watch because I recognised Meg from The Inbetweeners Movie and I knew I'd like her.
Was it a good decision to premiere it on Halloween night though?
And I'm not completely writing off the first episode - it was a nice introduction and the mix-up at the flat at the end was a good sketch!
BIB 1 - All 3 girls are form the Inbetweeners movie and i recognise Meg and Bunny.
BIB 2 yes its set in Leeds but is it filmed here? i ask as some of the places shown, I.E the Old Bank i did not recognise, so did they actually film in Leeds?
But one of the things I noticed was the lad shagging his girlfriend in episode 2. He was rocking his head back and forth like a pro but his hips weren't doing anything.
