Best new comedy drama in a long time
15 July 2023
I've just binge watched this show and loved it. The characters, writing and music were superb. From the first episode I was invested in the characters. The story lines were inclusive and diverse and totally believable.

I can imagine most of us can identify with the situations some of the characters found themselves in at times, when it comes to relationships and I laughed with them and felt their pain when things went badly for them.

It was a glorious celebration of why it's right that people should be themselves and not have to conform to stereotypes.

I loved the fact that important issues were raised but not in a lecturing judgemental way.

I really hope this series is renewed because it's a long time since I watched a comedy drama which was a joy to watch.

To me it felt like a modern day Sex and the City, in the respect that it's groundbreaking and conversations took place which seemed genuine and real.

The writers of the sex and the city sequel 'And just like that' ended up writing unrealistic, lecturing scripts which just don't ring true. They could learn a lot from the writers of Survival of the thickest who have nailed it.
