Chewing Gum (2015)
Has potential, but could be better
I started watching Chewing Gum with the expectation of a quirky series like The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. What i got was sadly a bit of a miss. Unlike Kimmy Schmidt where both Kimmy and all the side characters are charming, I don't seem to connect with Tracey and she is the main character! Instead episodes leave me wondering about Candice & Aaron, the antics of Candice's nan, mean gay Ronald and Tracey's sheltered sister.
Also unlike Kimmy Schmidt where the quirky worldstrange views help fuel the charm of the series, here the quirkyness of Tracey just seems cringy. From her having her first kiss and licking conners eyeball and nose to season 2 where she is drunkly twerking in the shower of a homeless shelter. Its all too over the top. The idea of the series really had potential to me. But sadly it isn't excecuted all that well.
