Autumn TV Finales - Hard Cell - Season One

Real talk, I loved Catherine Tate's Nan, Derek, Lauren Cooper and the many other characters potrayed by this English icon. So it was no doubt I jumped onto Hard Cell.

Like Chris Lilley's We Could be Heroes or Summer Heights High, this mockumentary sitcom based in a women's prison is a hoot!

Developed by Catherine Tate, who also plays five of the main characters. The season consists of six episodes, which landed on Netflix on April 12.


I have neglected my Netflix series for a bit, but jumped straight onto this. Well I do watch the really bad Riverdale weekly. But that's out of habit.

Catherine Tate stars as Laura / Marco / Ange / Ros / Big Viv along with a great cast of mainly female inmates.

Her 2IC Christian Brassington as Dean is a hoot too. Tate and Brassington  work so well together as the duo running the bat shit crazy prison.

With musical acts, bad plumbing, a lot of Pat's it's a wild six episode first season run. I do hope it returns for a second season. I smashed this whilst overseas in record time. It was an easy ass watch. Tate is just so good.

Years after the Catherine Tate show, Tate continues to slay. Laugh out loud comedy is what the world needs right now. This is exceptional. Get onto it now. Don't listen to the haters, yes Netflix is dropping viewers but there are still gems on the streaming service.
