British Comedy Guide, 3rd March 2016Chewing Gum leaves a bad taste in the mouth
So E4 have re-commissioned a second series of Michaela Coel's Chewing Gum. What were they thinking? Normally I would be pleased for a new young writer being commissioned for a second series. Heck, I've been campaigning for this for some time now. However I would never just give my backing to any show and Chewing Gum does not have my support and quite frankly it beggars belief that it got aired in the first place, never mind re-commissioned.
Tiemo Talk of the Town, 20th February 2016While Catastrophe and the final series of Peep Show were predictably brilliant, but they had nothing on the youthful zing of this filthily funny comedy that managed to make life on a Hackney estate seem highly appealing. Michaela Coel, already known to the Royal Court, is a welcome new voice for TV and a fabulously expressive face as the comedy's reluctant 24-year-old virgin.
