Totally unrelatable portrayal of shallow ugly people who use other human beings as commodities. They are disloyal to their friends and display the morals of alley cats, what idiot has a sexual affair with someone that's works across the desk. I cannot see any redeeming features of the kitchen sink drama except for the music and the cinematography. In a work this is a nasty portrayal of snowflakes millenials trying to invent a morality within an alcohol filled void. Vile Vile Vile!

Just finished season 2 at one go. Although Aisling was annoying till the end, but the show itself was pretty relatable to me who's passing the late 20s crisis. Can't wait for season 3.

From the Netflix blurb, I was expecting something like an Irish "Broad City," but "Can't Cope"'s not your standard "edgy" sitcom by any means, more like a powerful indie film served up in half-hour installments, and, as I'm sure our heroines would agree, once you've got a couple under your belt, it's hard to stop bingeing (yeah?). At 27, Aisling ("Ashling")'s already a full-fledged "alco," albeit a high-functioning one-she's a good earner at an investment firm. Danielle has a bit more impulse control, but she's still spinning her wheels at art school. They spend their off hours clubbing, drinking, hooking up (but only "with clean boys with jobs," explains Aisling to a sceptical pharmacist she's hoping will dispense a morning-after pill) and something they call "dogging"-sneaking around a secluded parking spot and pranking distracted lovers. While Danielle takes a few tentative baby steps towards real maturity, Aisling seems headed for a vodka-fueled flameout. The final episodes explore what happens to an intense but unstable friendship if, in the words of the old Irish drinking song, "it should fall unto my lot/That I should rise while you should not." Seána Kerslake ("the Scarlett Johansson of Ireland"-similar foxy features, voluptuous figure and ferocious acting chops) gives an amazing performance as Aisling; the cliffhanger season closer should give you an appetite for the next one, which, Netflix willing, should be with us in a year or so.

Just discovered this on BBC iplayer as I was desperate to find something to watch. I'm a long time out of Ireland so was prepared for some cringeful 'sure and begorrah' sentimental rubbish. Not so. Having watched the first two episodes I am looking forward to the rest. It starts off with two young women setting out in life.One works for an investment brokerage and the other is an art student. They are chronic boozers and don't take life too seriously. Drink leads them to make 'poor choices' and they are flying by the seat of their pants. The scenes in the club where they are drunk off their faces are so credible and they are all for having another drink.Also the inter office gossip and competition is farcical but has an edge to it. That's what makes it so watchable...we can see things will not always be so easy...
