If you stumbled upon Boom Town on BBC Three tonight, you'll know what we mean when we say that it's pretty tricky to sum up in a few simple sentences.
The BBC billed the series as their take on the genre of "structured reality" with added laughs. So you could perhaps say that it's part Towie, part Pineapple Dance Studios with a bit of BBC Three humour thrown in for good measure.
But anyone who has seen the weirdness of Boom Town can tell you that this doesn't even cover half of it.
The premise of the series is that we get to meet "real people" in a fictional town. However, this is BBC Three and this is the TV genre that gave us Geordie Shore, Towie and Made In Chelsea, so don't go expecting to recognise any "real people" that you'd have in your Facebook friends list or school/college/office.
