Brassic, with its distinct northern flavour, is about a group of working-class friends finding unconventional ways to win at life in northern suburbia. These lads have dealt, scammed, bribed and conned their way through adolescence, but now, on the brink of adulthood, their dealing and stealing is catching up with them and a whole load of trouble is heading their way. Like a carefully stacked tower of cards, what happens if one of them is knocked down or, worse, removed from the pack entirely?
Well folks, end of an era, awesome series season 1-6 and then the catastrophe that is season 7, first episode was ok, but then the meandering drivel reared it's head, only the characters themselves held some semblance to the zig zag wavering script, did they get new writers for the final season? or did the existing ones all decide to have lobotomy's before putting pen to paper 'fingers to keys'? missing key characters! terrible scripts!
if I was a conspiracy theorist I would say the final episode was deliberately ended so that no questions were answered in the remote hope that some other network would pickup the show to either continue it or finish off with a proper feature length episode and the show creators could walk away with a pocket full of cash!. Seriously, we don't ask for much! I don't even care for a happy ending just an ending which doesn't make everyone say WTF WAS THAT! and that was from the nicest responses out there.
Also, why wasn't Erin 'MK' even in the last episode, and NO! 3 second flashbacks at the very end DO NOT COUNT! she must of been on her holibobs or the producers just ran out of money and couldn't afford her!
ALERT ALL NEW WATCHERS.....WATCH SEASONS 1-6, DO NOT GO FURTHER! adios all!

Thanks for the recommendation, gave it a shot - love it.
Glad you like it, It's just so well done, it seems to get even better too, the way they can switch from comedy to serious is great.
Some episodes feel like they could have been stretched out to a film too.
One more episode for me, and I'm on S03.

I've no idea how this show flew under my radar for so long.
Easily one of the funniest, well written comedies I've ever seen.
I'm halfway through S2 and can't wait for the rest.
It's filmed around the area I live, which also helps, I keep seeing Pendle Hill in the background, A hill I've ascended dozens of times.
Brilliant stuff.

It's crazy, right now I think I am watching more british shows than american :)

This is my FAVORITE SHOW EVER! I can't understand why other comments have disparaged UK shows. I'm an American woman in her late 40s and find this to have all aspects of an amazing show. I love the humor, British slang, how it deals with mental illness, the relationships between family, friends and loved ones, interactions between the characters, just enough intrigue, but not ridiculously so….the list could go on and on. Another recent favorite of mine is OUTLAWS. Similar humor. Check it out it you like Brassic. AND PLEASE RECOMMEND SIMILAR SHOWS I MIGHT LIKE! Thank you! ☺️

That's on exotic side, along with kefir and cottage cheese in ten variations :D You will be surprised, but we also have meat, what you call chips and whatever fish, since we have 500 km sea border and countless rivers/lakes :)

I've found WWDITS 1st season laugh out loud funny a lot. 2nd season much less so but I still like it. Found the film less funny than season 1 but still good. They re-did a few of the films jokes in the 1st season and made them better!
Well liteon, if you've never seen a UK comedy you like I guess there is just no hope.

For me, Joseph Gilgun's best role was in Misfits. I really liked that show.
Oh yeah, he was in Misfits too, same as Iwan 'Ramsay Snow' Rheon. :) Was a fun (cheap) show but I lost interest and stopped watching in season 4.

liteon, give ep one a go. Go on, you know you want to.
It has to wait for its moment. ;)
P.S.: You must be confusing me with a company that brought in 16.7 billion TWD last year.

Seriously though give us a short list of UK comedies you didn't like?
All of them? :lol: Seriously though: when I think "great UK comedies", nothing comes to mind. Where US comedies seem to be produced to a appeal to audiences all over the planet (a broad range of different comedies), UK comedies seem to be produced to (almost) ONLY appeal to folks in the UK. :cool: Some of the UK food is excellent though! :)
