Big Boys

What an honest and brave look at young people's challenges and successes around mental health, navigating sexuality and general early adulthood. So cleverly written, kind and absolutely hilarious. I was truly touched by this show.

Surprisingly the release went quiet but I am glad to discover it after a review at guardian. If you are into bright blue real life looking dramedies, that is 100% must. Actors, plot, twists and the way how it shot is brilliant. Yes-yes-yes!

Just finished the finale (hope there's a second season) and this show resonated with me in a huge way. It's so well written, beautifully acted (have to single out Jon Pointing who plays Danny - I thought he was going to be a one dimensional character at the very beginning but wow) and the show has such a massive heart.

Pure brilliance.

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.

Absolutely brilliant. Captured the vulnerability of students leaving the nest and going off to uni. Really funny in places and also very touching and emotional. I loved it.
