EPISODES 1.01-1.08 Watching this super-powered comedy, at first it’s difficult to wrap your head around the fact that it’s a Disney show; E4 or BBC Three feel more like its natural home. Creator Emma Moran’s first instinct seems to be to reach for cringe comedy, or taboo subjects.
The list of Things Considered Intrinsically Hilarious includes wanking, tampons, tit-flashing, the IRA and the clitoris (well, men’s inability to locate it). Though the series calms down a bit later, it initially seems – like a rebellious teen – so anxious to be edgy that it ends up looking juvenile.
