Sugar Rush!

So I just got through watching the first season of the Channel 4 show Sugar Rush, and it's absolute brilliant!

Synopsis: Channel 4 and the makers of 'As If' bring Julie Burchill's novel Sugar Rush to the screen, starring Olivia Hallinan and Lenora Crichlow. Each episode is a different journey inside Kim's world as her wry observations take us into the mind of a screwed up, loved up, lustful adolescent experiencing the bright lights of Brighton and the rush of forbidden love for the first time. Being a teenage girl is tough. Being an un-cool, 15-year-old lesbian who's completely infatuated with the most outrageous and popular girl in school is downright unfair... Sugar Rush explores the world of Kim and her earth-shattering lust for the gorgeous and sassy Maria Sweet, otherwise known as Sugar.

The show is at times hilarious (see: episode about the STD crabs, no seriously it's good comedy), heart-wrenching, weird, and sexy. I learned about the show from SoN message boards, and it is like South of Nowhere's edgy cousin from New York or something. Seriously, Sugar makes Ashley Davies look like a girl scout, and compared to Kim, Spencer really does seem like she's entirely made up of sugar and spice and everything nice. Hell, Stella even makes Mother Superior seem ... well, actually Stella is fun whereas Mother S is just a bitch, lol.

Anyway, good show with hot girls who kiss each other ... check it out!

Yeah, I really enjoyed the series. It certainly was a roller-coaster ride, and that ending! Whoa! LOL, it was so sweet with "in a manner of speaking" playing and the fluffy robes and morning after smiles. The shit is so gonna hit the fan! Cliffhanger of DOOM indeed.

I hope there's going to be a second season.

I heard that they're filming the second series now, so YAY! The wait for it is gonna be almost as painful as the wait for the second season of South of Nowhere. If they come back at the same time I might suffer from 'cute teenage girls in love' overload, lol

*squee* I loves your icon! That scene was brilliant. That heart should go right on Beth's ass to symbolize how I felt about her, I love Beth and her pervy stretching in church! Perve on Beth, perve on.

Yeah, I'm anxiously awaiting season 2 as well. I mean, I just wanna see what's gonna happen when the 'rents and the cops bust into the room, let alone worrying about what other adventures await them.
