This show is not for the privileged folk, this is a pretty realistic but comedic look at being young and living in poorer areas/countrysides in Britan, a lot of the situations in This Country are ones that I've been in myself as a child or teenager and it's an absolutely hilarious take on everything I've experienced. I'm not a country folk, but I grew up in poorer areas and ate Turkey Dinosaurs and squabbled over who gets top shelf in the crappy oven when I was younger. This show is hilarious, but most people will probably not get it. Overall, it's becoming one of my favourite series that I'm looking forward to watching as the show grows. It's unique, funny, nostalgic for many of the items they bring in to the show which is very remminisant of the 2000's in English culture.

If you grew up poor or living in the countryside and want to laugh cry about your miserable petty childhood memeories, then sit back and watch this future cult TV show.

It was 4am, I was in tremendous amounts of pain due to nerve damage in my back and neck thanks to a car crash, with no one online to speak to moan about my life I came off YouTube with the last video I watched about Bill Nye and this show and I started looking at Netflix sizing up the episode list. The show isn't as bad as some of the 'American reviews' made it out to be, sure there is some political propaganda, but if you class this as false or incoherent information, I'm sorry bud, you're a conspiracy theorist, climate change is real and there are more than two genders in circumstances. My only qualm about this show was the inaccuracy that it presented in the movement of fist-bumps, it probably had around a 70% hit rate in terms of this. So if you're going to moan about this show, moan about it trying too hard with it's theme song, fist-bumps and creepy animations.

If you're a flat Earther then this show isn't for you, try a show like Most Haunted UK.

I'm not sure what my hopes were for this due to hearing about it so late but hearing that Ezra was attached to it did excite me thinking about some original indie rock music being featured, which it is not. The first episode is slow and pretty pointless, it seems to grab characters from different franchises and just remodel them. I can't count of all the shameless gimmicks that are appointed to this from celebrity cameos to product placement. The last time I watched something filled to the brim with product placement was season 1 of 90210. The advertising in this animation is shameless and almost in every scene.

Voice acting in this series is so disjointed to the animations, the voices lack so much effort and energy, anybody from the street could had done a better job. Story-wise it is fairly basic and vanilla, in terms of 'character needs' they seem to lack a goal. Maybe a few more drafts and a cast swap it could be more impressive due to the art and colour. So I guess the good thing I grabbed from this series is the use of colour which I find very pretty. I expected something far more creative from a Netflix original.

If you're into student indie film, I guess this will fit you perfectly but it's nothing to be marvelled.
