Chewing Gum (2015)
TV Show
First aired
Michaela Coel's Tracey is a sheltered, churchgoing, Beyoncé-obsessed 22-year-old on an East London housing project, and she tells you all about her mishaps straight down the lens. Coel came to TV from performing poetry, and the asides do real work: they show you when Tracey is lying to herself, or when someone else in the scene has missed the point entirely.
It's loud, filthy and gloriously clumsy, a cousin to Fleabag with a completely different energy. Two short series on E4 make it a quick binge, and Coel won a BAFTA for her performance.
