Not sure if any of guys are into it, but last night was 2/3 of the final season of
My Mad Fat Diary on E4. For those who don't know it's the story of Rae, a teenager with issues, the show starts with her leaving a mental health home for teens and follows her journey into 6th form and re-connecting with friends after she accidentally came close to suicide while self harming. It sounds very sad, and some scenes are pretty heart wrenching, but it's actually a deeply funny show about being a teenager in height of Brit-pop mid 90's.
This is the main thing for me, I was a teen when this is set, I know all the songs, I know how it feels to be one of the cast members, I strongly identify with the themes of the show, not the self harm and health issues though, but a lot of the other 'just being a teen' things.
Stand out performances from Sharon Rooney as Rae and Claire Rushbrook as her mum, Claire is an outstanding actress and I love her in everything she's in.
Highly recommended!
