Review of Frayed

Frayed (2019–2021)
7/10
Weakish start, but enjoyable
22 October 2019
I think I went into this expecting a snappy and funny comedy. What I got instead was a humorous and quirky drama. Once I accepted that, I was then able to enjoy it. Just don't expect to be rolling on the floor the whole time. It wants parts of its storyline to be taken seriously (which it then subverts, thereby supplying some of its humour). It also reminds me a bit of Keeping Up Appearances, the main character being somewhat of a Hyacinth Bucket (this is another source of this humour).

Overall, a weakish start, but it has potential and I love the 80s, beachy aesthetic. It's a little crass as someone else pointed out, but I love the Inbetweeners, so I obviously enjoy that. To each their own.

May revise this review once further along. It feels like the kind of show that gets better as it matures. I also find her big head of red hair hilarious for some reason, so I'll keep watching just for that lol!
