Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of a wave of post-Fleabag British comedies about messy women who refuse to be likeable. Manchester setting deliberately pushes back against London-centric media.

Insight

Creator Danielle Ward wrote Gemma's father as actively incompetent rather than cruel—a deliberate choice to explore how neglect can be passive and still damaging.
