9/10
Brits finally brought us something new

Warning: Spoilers
I won't lie the brits highkey kinda ate with this. If ur looking for a show to binge I'd def recommend. Kinda zoomed past the episodes cause it was so entertaining. Synopsis: What happens when you take 5 black teens from London and force them to assimilate in an all-white environment. If you black you can kinda already predict the behaviors of the characters and how it differs from each other, but it was interesting to watch in real time. Loved everything about it, however I hated that Omar was a carbon copy of Lionel from "Dear White People", their characters were identical it was so disappointing; they had the same look, same interest, same mission(joining a secret cult), same personalities: both were shy, forgiving, queer nothing made Omar unique from Lionel besides the accent. I also wish they didn't try and force the femi Nigerian thing, it's ok to be a black-Britain or Nigerian-Britain without him butchering the language and stereotypes. Toby, Leah, and Jaheim were prefect I wouldn't change a thing bout them. The actors did their shi, also can we just take a sec to recognize that even in a setting with bare colored folks they still showed us black and poc love/relationships. 9/10 available on Tubi (originally BBC3 show but Ig Tubi bought it for American folks to view). This one of those shows where you know if they get a season 2 it'll be so good.
