Fri 22 Mar E4 8:30pmThat dreadful word “urban” will most likely be used to describe this series about two friends dreaming of making it in the music business.
Yes, it’s set on an estate in south London but so was The Bill and that was never described as urban. Yet, despite the lazy shorthand, it lets you know exactly what you’re going to get. It treads a well-worn path of tropes such as studious Yemi (Ade Oyefeso) being pulled by swaggering Jay (Calvin Demba) into undesirable situations. Thankfully it doesn’t try hard to be gritty, but it’s a bit flat.
1/8. Comedy drama about a group of friends in south-east London trying to negotiate teenage life. In the first of a two-part opening episode, there's anxiety, celebration and disappointment as GCSE results day arrives, while Jay decides to enter a singing competition that could be his break into the urban music industry. Starring Ade Oyefeso and Calvin Demba.
