Goofs

There are a number of turns of phrase used throughout the series, largely Americanisations, which didn't come into use in the UK until much later; Referring to individuals as "dude", referring to a mixed-sex group as "guys", terms such as "I'm Good", "hot mess" etc. I would assume the blame for this lies with the young cast members being allowed some element of improvisation whilst being unaware of the linguistic norms of the period.

Grimmer than the grim reaper
5 December 2019 | by elliotjeorySee all my reviews

I thought this show was a comedy drama but it descends into depravity that is uncomfortable to watch. It's a miserable show.
