It seems this happens every time a new show comes out, a series of reviews pop up with "garbage", "don't watch this" and "I wish I could give it less than 1 star" types of comments. All of the poor reviews with a "1" rating are by accounts established exactly 4 days ago (as of June 3rd) and they each have exactly one review. Sound suspicious? Well it is probably one person with multiple IMDb accounts. At a minimum don't trust those at all.
This show came up on my Peacock app today, I watched the first episode where the star, a PhD candidate in college, is first interviewing prospective husbands at the insistence of her parents. She teaches music, the actress is actually a guitar player and singer. Then she has a chance to join a band that needs a great guitarist, but she has too much anxiety when on stage in front of others. However there wouldn't be a show if she weren't able to overcome it.
At first blush some of it seems a bit silly, no doubt a British comedy with British sensibilities, but I found myself being entertained. The more I got into it the more I liked it. I enjoyed the occasional "dream sequence" musical number inserted at appropriate places. I know nothing of the culture depicted here but it doesn't matter, the dialog is inventive, with a number of references to mainstream movies, and the whole show is appropriately "inappropriate." After seeing all six episodes I found myself wondering how it would play if edited as a continuous 2-ish hour movie.
There are only six episodes and each is about 24 minutes, just right for when you don't have 2 hours to watch a movie. Prospective views need to understand, however, the script writer loves salty language, especially the F-word, and often I found that a bit disconcerting coming from these young ladies.
All-in-all I enjoyed the whole series of six episodes, something quite different for me.

Is anyone else enjoying all the dudes explaining "what punk really is" in the reviews here? What a bunch of turds. This show is fun. It has a good energy. It's great to see another take on punk. Maybe this doesn't fit the male world's equivalent of what they think punk is, but that in itself is more punk rock than these dudes could ever be.
Such a unique show and so enjoyable that I binged it all in two days and now I'm sad there's no more to watch! All the characters have such vibrant personalities and are incredibly likeable.
This show also had me in absolute stitches and I can't wait for another series!

This is some of the best British television I've seen in years, and it is wonderfully British. All the jokes land perfectly, and some made me laugh so hard I had to press pause.
To my shame I had not heard of any of the actors before but they are all extremely talented, especially the lead, who's portrayal of stage fright is so good it's painful.
Even the music is great: look out for the best ever punk cover of "nine to five".
I am also new to the work of creator Nida Manzoor, but will be keeping an eye out for her in the future.
In short , if you don't fall in love with Amina and her friends, you don't deserve to own a television.

Listen, I left a review after watching e1, and I'm finished now with S1 and my rating stands! DON'T BE HATERS - YOU MUST SEE IT THROUGH - because all the issues that these crap reviewers took umbrage with, are actually the crux and point of the show - PLEASE give it a chance, you won't be disappointed and if you are... at least you'll have been privy to some legit epic music -
