About
"Britpop nostalgia wrapped around raw teenage pain"
Set in mid-1990s England, this series follows a teenage girl returning home after a stint in a psychiatric hospital, navigating friendships, first love, and body image while hiding her mental health struggles from her new social circle. It mixes laugh-out-loud teen comedy with unflinching, sometimes raw depictions of anxiety, self-harm, and depression. The soundtrack and setting give it a nostalgic warmth, but the emotional core is often heavy and honest rather than sanitized. It feels like a hangout show with real teeth, funny and devastating within the same episode, anchored by a fiercely likable lead performance.
the fearless lead performance balancing comedy and genuine mental health struggle without ever feeling preachy.
you find frank depictions of self-harm and body image issues difficult to watch.
