I love Stephen merchant and this show is very watchable, it ticks a lot of boxes, but it has flaws. The main thing that stands out to me is the dialogue, especially that of political dialogue. It's so on the nose and heavy, it's so forced between the characters when they talk about left wing vs right wing politics. This is especially bad when you have the 'gang' in their blacked out car talking about it. If this was an outright comedy it wouldn't be as bad but it's supposed to have a sense of realism, therefor the dialogue between the younger characters should feel more natural. It's very clear Stephen Merchant is writing what he thinks young people sound like/speak about. Apart from this the visual direction is great and the overall storyline is enjoyable.
