Chewing Gum was gamey meat indeed. Michaela Coel sassed and swore her way to a clutch of deserved awards in 2015, and returns with a second series that certainly doesn't rely on lazy stereotypes. Her character, Tracey, is - I'm fairly sure this is unique - an exuberantly dysfunctional twentysomething, ex-religious, black, mouthy virgin with a great line in backchat and an endless capacity for self-deception. Its relentless energy leaves one's limbs akimbo on the sofa, pebble-dashed with loud, flirty vomit. First watching, I hated it. Second, I loved it, and got it. Third - who's to know? A constant blithering surprise, and thus to be truly cherished in TV-land.

TV review: Chewing Gum, E4

It's good to have Chewing Gum back. It's very different to any other series I've seen recently, while at the same time it has echoes of the BBC hit Fleabag, which it preceded. If that programme was all Phoebe Waller-Bridge's idea about contemporary attitudes to sex, then Chewing Gum is very much Michaela Coel's view of modern romance.

Chewing Gum deserves our attention - review

If life were a sitcom, the scenario would happen in a corner shop just after you've accidentally scrawled pen on your forehead, as happens in the opening episode of series two of the cult hit Chewing Gum (E4).

Chewing Gum review

A slice of working-class urban life is shoved rudely, and gloriously, in your face.

A very welcome return for Michaela Coel's warm and brilliantly funny comedy, full of outlandish yet relatable dramas, and helmed by a black, British, working-class hero, played by Coel herself. This opener is called WTF Happened?, a question viewers will surely ponder: lovebirds Tracey and Connor have broken up for reasons neither are entirely clear on, and Connor's already moved on. Cue a characteristically ill-thought-out bit of scheming from Trace.

Why we need more of young Queen Coel

Chewing Gum returns to E4 this week. Hannah Dunleavy tells us why we all need a bit of Michaela Coel in our lives.

Chewing Gum is as rude, tender and funny as ever

This half-hour episode is wrought with such care, attention and emotional nuance it could have been expanded into a play (let's not forget that the germ of the series came from Coel's National Theatre hit, Chewing Gum Dreams); there really is not a line out of place.
