S.M.B.

Due to arrive on Disney+ over here early next year too although I'm not sure if it's going to be alongside the Hulu release or sometime later. You never know until it's confirmed these days,

On Disney+ now.

Watched episode 1.....

What a nice surprise...really enjoyed it! Funny. The cast are great two main girls are especially good!

Looks like they spent some money on it as well to be fair.

Just finished season 1, really enjoyed it.

Finished the first three episodes...really enjoyable! Cracking music as well.

Spoiler Warning

The guy who plays the cat is really excellent!

The two main girls are genuinely terrific as well.

I love how most of the powers are a bit sh1t, a 3d printing arse and the ability to turn anything into a pdf....ha ha

Watched the first two episodes today. Loving it so far. Really funny and lots of fun.

Who is the Irish girl? Has she been in anything before? She's terrific in this.

Episode 4 was very funny.

Spoiler Warning

Loving how almost all the super powers we see are awful ha.

Tito the dog lol what a scene stealer! Hopefully he mends up.

Binged it at the weekend, absolutely loved it - the concept, the acting, the writing, everything! Laughed my head off

There are some brilliant ones (and by brilliant I mean awful)

Damn! 😀

For anyone who has enjoyed this or will enjoy it, I would highly recommend Misfits on All4, a series about a group of teenage asbos who get super powers, some of the powers in that show are just as unique. I wouldn't watch past season 2, though, takes a serious dip in quality.

The Black Oil

Just watched the first episode. Nailed its effort and tone more successfully than Apple's Shrinking, imo. Must have thrown down a fair bit of coin on the music budget. An unexpected surprise with the voice of the Dad. Seems affectionate towards its characters too.

Bing?!?!

Finished episode 7, it is such a fun watch. The music is epic as well.

Spoiler Warning

That dance finale had me in stitches!

I will say the main girl is really not a nice person at all...but I suppose it is balanced out by how nice Jizzlord is (steals every scene he is in and he can do better than Jen! Just saying)

CastorTroy

Just finished episode 3 and really enjoying it.

For the first episode

Spoiler Warning

Before the reveal, I thought the big reveal would be we find out her dad is dead later in the season and she didn't realise it for some reason but her power allowed her to talk to him.

The Black Oil

An enjoyable series, with heart.

Season 2 trailer

icdg

Drops Wednesday.

While they don’t reference the main character being Irish often, there’s one hilarious moment in the first season when her mother makes out at a gathering with her stepfamily that their journey to London was arduous only for Jen to interject “No mum, we came here on the plane”.

First episode of season 2 very solid.

"Mummy, Daddy. May I have some apples?" Disgusting!

One of my favourite bits.
