I tuned in to Stacked on Channel 4 after reading an interview with the writer, Bryony I've, on the Bliss magazine website, which described the show as a 'super cool new drama'.
I'm glad to say it didn't disappoint. For the first time in ages I found myself watching a programme that showed characters I could identify with dealing with the everyday pressures that teenage girls actually face. It got me thinking, why are there so few television programmes out there that have girls as lead characters? It doesn't make sense, especially as it's a well known fact that girls watch more TV than boys.
Stacked was both dramatic and funny and I was left very curious as to what would happen next. Will the 16 year old lead character Ginny continue to regret having had a boob job? Will her crazy little sister Tallulah steal her boyfriend once and for all and will older sister Shona somehow manage to win the heart of a gorgeous 'Stacked' covergirl?
Packed into this one episode were questions and ideas about body image, sexuality and relationships with parents at no point was I bored and it made me realise how other television shows can be really quite slow paced. As a young woman it's definitely the kind of show I would love to see more of.
