Synopsis

Comedy series about three young women living in Leeds who've graduated, had a year out, and are now struggling to find a job they're passionate about, a place to live that is half decent and a boyfriend they actually like. A sitcom about making terrible decisions, but having a brilliant time doing it. The show focuses on Meg, her eccentric cousin Bunny and their friend Laura as they discover that life might just be a bit tougher than they had imagined. From demeaning Promotions jobs complete with mad outfits to pursuing the men of their dreams - yet dating the men of their nightmares - the girls face '#FML-worthy' disasters in both their work and personal lives.

Reviews

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Jellybeansucker A sitcom written as a series of increasingly unrealistic scenarios the three get themselves into. Okay it's exaggerated reality under comic licence then, as almost all sitcoms are. Still, the formula here gets cartoony and really stretches credibility beyond the suspension of disbelief thing.The show's humour is modern language based which at it best is simply coarse and worst full of sexually explicit comments. It becomes at times one long extended hen party with the three of them all embarrassing themselves in different ways, giving us the show's major source of comedy - the comedy of shamelessness which is currently very trendy. Some may gel with its reflection of modern life but if you're a fastidious sitcom fan who likes some subtlety and nuances of humour instead of being smashed in the face with it, Drifters may not be for you.
pontram 'Drifters' is sometimes unbelievable funny. The three girls in the center actually aren't girls anymore, they are women, but occasionally extremely childish, helpless, deceitful, or, among other 'features', simply dumb.They always fail on an epic scale with their versions of loving, being happy, finding a job, standing on their own feet, finding the right partner, being smart, being popular and so on, because if they achieve something, they are messing it up, always.Now, one would think that they aren't likable, but they are. Very. After every failure they manage to overlook its reasons and continue to stand tall, despite any embarrassments.This is one of my most beloved comedies, and it's always sad to have only six episodes a season. I'd like to have sixteen.
Dave This is a very funny and lighthearted full-on comedy about three girls in Leeds. The acting and writing are excellent. It's great to see girls enjoying casual sex, having fun and getting into all sorts of crazy situations. Curvy hot girl Bunny is hilarious.I've watched and loved every episode.It's like a twentysomething, female version of The Inbetweeners.
Angel Youles Drifters follow three friends who share and flat after university and have not yet got their lives quite figured out. As they try to progress in their lives they encounter many downfalls in their lives and relationships. You can really relate to the characters in Drifters, we have all been Meg, Laura and even Bunny at some point in our lives. We get ourselves into tricky and embarrassing situations which we don't know how to get out of and end up embarrassing ourselves even more... and this is what is great about this show... the characters are believable, flawed and unbelievably relatable. It's unlike a polished comedy where everything is canned laughter and sunshine, it really shows you the awkward, messy and laughable side of life, especially as a woman, there are not many comedies out there that show that actually, women can just be as immature, awkward and embarrassing and funny as men (haha) The performances are great, you can tell the actors really enjoy their roles and that's what brings a show to life. You can just imagine how much fun they must have on set. Not to mention, the hilarious story lines. It's easy to get into and binge on and it really helps to brighten your day.
