The series[edit]

The series follows teenagers from Liverpool as they go about their lives in Liverpool. Reece, who is often a mis-behaving teenager, but always surprises his loved ones and friends, from quoting Mother Teresa, John Steinbeck to his incredibly mature take on grief. Reece ends up on his last warning at school, meets another student, Christopher, who joins the school and Reece offers to 'take care' of the new boy. The two students could not be any different but somehow become friends.[3]

The series aired on ITV2 and began streaming on ITVX in February 2024. The series became the most watched comedy on the ITV 2 channel since Changing Ends, with 4.9 million streams on the platform.[4]
