The Young Ones (1982–1984)
7/10
Anarchy!
26 June 2021
The crazy and sometimes surreal comedic adventures of four very different students in Thatcher's Britain. They couldn't have described it better. If silly humor isn't your thing you shouldn't watch this series as that's the major ingredient of the whole show. Four different students played by Rik Mayall (the anarchist), Adrian Edmondson (the destructive punk-rocker), Nigel Planer (the hippie) and Christopher Ryan (the charmer). Every episode is about Rick, Vyvyan, Neil and Mike, and each one is crazier than the other. Add to that an appearance of Alexei Sayle as Balowski, and every now and then a song from a cult band from that time (great bands like Madness, Motorhead and others) and you have an ideal cocktail to keep you entertained. Short half hour episodes that you will either love or hate.
