Just finished binge watching this series as I wanted to see it through to the end and wish I hadn't bothered.
Having been brought up in South London, it is absolutely a load of nonsense and people doesn't talk or act like that - it is so exaggerated!! The acting in this show is mediocre and the locations in 'Spain and Morocco' locations don't do the countries any justice - looks like filming was done on a very low budget with poor props and mostly cloud and no sun.
The script is also incredibly ridiculous. In South London, I have never heard people use the 'C' word as much as they made out in this series. Mint Ma says it all the time (played by an American actress who was Steph in The Goonies - credit to her as the British accent was great). However, Mint Ma calls everyone she don't like the 'C' word and uses it so much in the series that it made me cringe every time she opened her mouth.
Remembering the series is set in the 80's, the clothing was good but it probably could have been better if all the women wore their hair more frizzed up with shoulder pads, neon colour clothes and loads of matching eyeshadow - it missed the mark there a little as the men looked more from the 80's than the women. However, the men wearing white socks with black shoes, now that was a good reminder of the 80's....ha! Ha! Lastly, the music was the best thing about the whole series.
