Transaction

Who says you can't say anything these days and comedy isn't funny anymore? This is proof that there is so much humour to be found in the modern world of supposedly hard to navigate social issues - it doesn't spare any cynicism or dry scathing remarks, it's rude, ridiculous, and rebellious but also a bit slapstick, silly, and sensitive.

I just had a feeling from the get go it was written by the actor who plays the main character, even though I'd not heard of her before, the script felt so much like an adaptation of an indie project, and turns out that's what it is. I always think these kind of shows just have something others don't, it's probably because of a unique perspective and voice uncompromised by a truck load of numpties in the writing room trying to dial things back and make it more palatable for a wider audience.

The humour feels so cheeky, it's got loads of heart, and for all the bum, boob, and knob jokes it's not all innuendo. Every episode is either a farce or a parody or an old fashioned romp, but with modern situations and characters, not flinching at the crude, brash, and messy chaos happening in this tiny little self important bubble that is the night shift at a crummy supermarket. Great cast, nice short episodes, just great.

I wasn't planning on leaving a review when I came on n IMDB. I knew this show will be review bombed but I hope people are able to see past that and give it a chance. Clearly it wasn't made for children or families so anyone talking about it being inappropriate is being redundant. The humor is dark and crass like a lot of the best British sitcoms. The writing is clever and quick and not worried about offending anyone. Has a great supportive cast and a terrible wig. I hope it's able to grow in a second season but after seeing the score on here I won't hold my breath. Excited to see more of Jordans writing though as she clearly has my sense of humor.

Jordan Gray is amazing playing her quirky egomaniac character. The show is very silly and easy to watch whilst doing other things, the comedy can be slightly low brow at times but it works with the ridiculous premise of the show and for her first sit-com is a true gem. The banter with the flatmate is top-notch and the whimsical shenanigans throughout the show just made me giggle the whole time. I like how the storyline centres a trans character without making it her whole personality and the other characters are also diverse but feel like real people all the same. The episodes are a good length for a quick laugh at the end of the day.

Great characters and absolutely full of laughs.

Very sharp clever writing and great performances from everyone.

Jordan Grey is a phenomenal comedy talent and I'm sure we'll see a lot from her in the future, no, I'm sure we will.

A sitcom you can watch time and time again, the best I've watched since Friday Night Dinner, binged the whole thing until the early hours. I had seen the Comedy Channel version , which was great, but this is a huge step up again from that. Like you'd expect with a bit of Nick Frost, but not just him, everyone delivers.

Looking forward to season 2 dropping very soon.

JUST WATCH IT!!

Some people will never be satisfied. This show is being boycotted - but it is a far funnier, self aware, and accomplished comedy than the mobs on the fringes who are review bombing it want you to believe. Overwhelming, it's those who, depressingly, predictably, see it is a morally "good" thing to undermine a show that is supporting a trans writer/performer simply because Nick Frost is in this.

Nick isn't JK Rowling. He is, if anything, demonstrably neutral by taking jobs in both camps. Punishing Jordan's show to get at JK, who has nothing to do with this series, is clearly mad. But apparently punishing someone in the space you claim to support somehow passes as fair play...

Regardless of your views or stance on that matter, this will make you laugh, and it is worth your time finding out.
