Nathan Barley (2005)
10/10
Vulgar. Offensive. Brilliant.
10 January 2023
How amazing (or pathetic) is it to be tragically hip? Let the cast of Nathan Barley show you. I'm not going to summarise the plot any better than others-self-obsessed culture mavens provide each other with circular reference to their amazingness-but I can tell you that the feel of the show lacks the smugness that the characters themselves have in spades. It is brilliantly annoying, camp, and shallow while at the same time the definitive look at the hipster movement, an incisive critique of the idiocy that is modern culture, dictated as it is by Facebook and TikTok and Instagram. This show is brilliant. Just brilliant.
