Started watching it over the last couple of weeks and have to say it’s **** hilarious. If you ever wanted to see everything that is stereotypical of Essex in a show then this is pretty much it;
– dolled up birds
– bling
– money
– ambition
– bitchiness
– stupidity and ignorance like you’ve never seen/heard
– phat motors
– plastic
– spray tans
– geezers
… it’s all there. But infinitely watchable too.
All in all, very light-hearted and pleasantly surprised.
Can’t stand it. I got a few minutes in to the first ep when that playboy model minger started spouting drivel about some bloke called ‘mark’. and all them girls sounded, like, well thick innittttt. 👿
“Shut up!” 🙂 That’s the whole point – it’s supposed to be a combination of real life mixed in with various ‘set pieces’. The fact that some of them are like, well thick like, innitt … is like the way it is, innitt.
Voyeurism is the best way I’d describe it – it’s like being a fly on the wall. Just take it for what it is – a humorous, light-hearted look at one of our more colourful counties.
Due to The only way, Brentwood, where I live, has now believe become a tourist town. You can not get a room in the premier inn during the weekend.
Wanna bees from all over the land not just Essex are flocking in… You can not move for short skirts and big hair in the town on a friday/saturday night.
I watched a few minutes of it….staged or not, its crime is surely that it’s just dull. These people are not actors, and their “conversations” come across as hugely stilted and basically unwatchable.
