We Are Lady Parts (2021)
The show I've been missing out on my whole life
It's not often I watch something that speaks to me and I wasn't hopeful when it started, but my word, what a treat! It manages to describe my experience growing up as a South Asian kid in a white world, how we're influenced by two cultures and never really seem to fit in either side but actually, we take on the best of both and can really go places with it if it's nurtured. It's a unique perspective and shows how good art transcends cultures and assimilation is inevitable, to varying degrees.
Excellent acting and writing, top tier humour.
Love that it is a mostly female cast, Muslim women's perspectives, especially queer and other marginalised identities rarely get such exposure, never mind with such panache.
Please let there be a season 2!
The First Team (2020)
Definitely not Ted Lasso
They saw the success the aforementioned had and tried to replicate it, the BBC, and instead produced this. If you haven't already seen Ted, do, and then you can cringe as hard as I did at The First Team, which isn't the first after all.
