First and foremost, this is a comedy and as other reviewers have mentioned, in the genre of the classic British sitcom. In this respect, it performs outstandingly.
Yes, serious issues are tackled but they are not presented in an overbearing way, rather as part of everyday life. Which they are to the people who have to deal with them.
It has some hilarious moments and there are some excellent one-liners in there. It also has serious moments, including a very emotional and tear-jerking finale.
Jon Pointing deserves a special mention for an absolutely stellar performance as Danny. The rest of the cast all gel together nicely and all play their parts well.
My only criticism - it was too short. There needs to be a Season 2. It more than deserves it.

One of those series where you want another 20 episodes but you also appreciate its length. Characters really gel together and its funny throughout with a great storyline. I do want more...
We've been waiting a long time for a kind of coming of age show like this. It has as much heart as it does humour and shows the gay community and its allies as a normal group of people. Not defined by their sexuality.
Plus the soundtrack is great for anyone who spent their 20,s or 30's around 2010.

The more you watch of this, the more you will get it. Each episode makes your appreciate the whole story a little bit more. It's not meant as a route one comedy, rather it's something slightly more subtle and well worth your time. As a Watfordian, it's also an affectionate and accurate portrayal of that suburban life. I hope there is more.
