    Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

    The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

    This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

    We loved season one! Season two was good, but season one was funnier.

    Chewing Gum eventually loses its flavor!The bizarre, often crude and superficial examination of what happens when religion and sex collide.The effervescent and talented Michaela Coel stars, writes and is wholly responsible for this almost autobiographical take on her struggles with growing up into adulthood. It's 'Miranda' on speed in a much crappier neighborhood!Ms Coel ranges in appearance from a demure and frail Ghanian flower to grotesque New York drag queen very easily and it's these extremes in her life that make for a fast moving and very quirky situation comedy.The forced conflation of spiritual subservience and sexual discovery makes for uncomfortable viewing at times and there's no subtlety or pause in the action to allow the viewer to take a deep breath and examine what's happening.The series is helped, however, with good supporting characters, some swift editing and a frothy style of direction.This kind of TV clearly isn't aimed for the likes of old white codgers like me... but throughout all the noise and rough edges of this series, I predict that the world of entertainment will see a helluva lot more of Michaela Coel in the future.

    The main character development is too slow, I lose some interest in the show because she is constantly reviewing the past and emotions but always having a passive way dealing with it, not trying to be pretentious here, but it will be better to make her more intriguing and complex, I know that maybe the protagonist is written to be more of an inducible type of person and she stands in certain moments, but then, like I've said, she constantly review her emotions and second- guessed herself and the girl are stuck in it. She is romantic self-centered and this is not a bad thing itself but it would be a lot better if she has some other concerns in life. What catches is the antagonist' life, here we see some more developed character with more interesting things going on, like the old lady and the mothers' ones, the mother of the guy is one of my favorites too, even her friend is more interesting, the show itself is not bad, strong antagonist', aesthetic is really pretty, but the protagonist girl, oh boy, she has charisma, but I don't watch the show because of her anymore and I probably will continue to watch because of the antagonists.

    Simple, light comedy, with toilet humour, sex jokes and filthy laughs! You end up loving the. character and her hapless boyfriend. You find yourself rooting for them both. I can't wait to see what's next for them, great comic timing and chemistry from them when they are in scenes together.The ex is also hilarious! I'd love more set pieces with Connor, Tracey, and the ex! The actress/writer is clearly talented throwing herself unashamedly into physical slapstick situations. You have to laugh out loud during the opening recap when Connor is shoved into nearby grundon esq bins!I've reached episode 5 already, and I would recommend it as totally relaxing, uncomplicated and funny viewing. I would love another series. More please!
