I'm an American randomly scrolling through the BBC iPlayer and stopped on this show. Boy, am I glad I did because this was fiercely original and funny. This might be a little reductive but the show is like Napoleon Dynamite combined with The Inbetweeners. It's awkward, weird, hilarious, endearing, and weirdly relatable. It's unique and brilliantly written. I sincerely hope there are more seasons. It won't be for everyone but if it lands for you it'll be 100% worth it.
Some of the actors are new or only have a few acting credits but they all bring their A game and I really want to see what other comedy they produce, whether it's more of this or something else. Bravo to the cast and crew that created this gem.

I've been a fan of SuperLemon since the early days. I have my favourite sketches, "FAM DRAM", "Drumgannon Kitchen Sink Baths", and of course, "GYAMMON."
So when I sat down to eat dinner and first stuck on FUNBOYS on Monday night, I knew what to expect.
Well, I was wrong. I was unprepared and ended up choking on a meatball from laughing so hard.
SuperLemon's unique sense of humour is there, as mental as it's ever been. But because the show is set against the backdrop of the beautifully boring Ballymacnoose, the jokes hit that much harder.
Dylan, Lennon, and James take up the screen each scene they're in and their characters are fully fleshed out and realised.
Callum, the sad sack with the rubber face, Jordan, who is as mentally developed as an undercooked microwave lasagna, and Lorcan, the eloquent bane of pigs.
Watching them together made me want to be a fun boy. 10/10
Dying for a season 2.
