Overview

Synopsis:

This is the programme that speaks for a generation. It's about first-job flutters and big appetites - for success, for love and for fun. It's about proving yourself, escaping yourself, but ultimately finding yourself. Amy Jenkin's award-winning drama eavesdrops on a group of six very different twenty-somethings sharing a house in London. Wild child Anna has trouble with men. Arrogant Miles is torn between two women. Control-freak Milly is torn between two men. Egg can't decide what to do with his life. Ferdy is bisexual and confused. While Warren is proud to be gay, as long as it doesn't mean telling his family.

WARNING: This programme contains strong language, scenes of a sexual nature and scenes of drug use.

    Initially ignored upon release, This Life's first series was repeated and interest exploded. A phenomenon of the mid-nineties, This Life is a well-scripted and acted drama that deals frankly with various issues including addiction, relationships, sex, infidelity & sexuality. Watching it for the first time now almost 15 years since, I personally found it hard to identify with a series of self-involved barristers who seemed to do themselves more harm than anything around them but with foresight, it's clear that these characters are well formed and deliberately flawed (otherwise no conflict right?). Addictive and justifiably praised, you will find yourself both irritated and driven to continue watching.
