HBO MaxThe life of Tracey, a religious, Beyoncé-obsessed 22-year-old living in an estate in Tower Hamlets, and the mishaps of her neighbourhood, friends and family. Oh, and obvs her boyfriend!
Back for a second series of Chewing Gum (E4), back on the estate. She is clutching a Bible in one hand, and, if she didn’t have a bin bag of belongings in it, the other would probably be in her knickers. Tracey is holding on to her optimism, too.What sets Chewing Gum apart, of course, is Coel, her creation and her performance. Hilariously filthy, there is nowhere she – and it – won’t go: down there, in here (well, if it were not for Connor’s issues), on that.
Chewing Gum only consists of two six-episode seasons with each episode less than twenty-five minutes. I preferred the second season more than the first maybe because I finally got acclimated to the content, but superficially it felt as if the series found a balance between humor and character development.
