Most boring character and face "Josie". Although Kingsley also very very boring dude. I'm calling this type of people "grey" when you met them you never remember them. They dont have any special personality, they dont have hobbies( besides Kingsley's boring guitar "playing" times). Vod is interesting but she is kind of stupid im surprised she can read and she could maked the university some how. Oregon she is just sleeping with everything high libido and she thinks she is so smart. Most naive Jp and Howard. Technically other than this 2 very bad peoples. In the script they forgot the give them deep personalty obviously, cause very superfacial people. In the begining i liked it bit all of them turned to whining bithches. They are filthy and no one can cook human food.

Slight spoilers in this review**** I really enjoyed this show. It popped up in "recently added" on my Netflix account - and of course I checked for reviews here before I watched it. It faired well so I gave it a go. I am so glad I did. There is something about original English programming that is lacking from shows made in the USA (I am from Australia)- more of a raw authenticity even though some of the happenings are simply ridiculous - if that makes sense? At times it does try a little too hard but so do a lot of shows. My fave character is JP - he is hilarious and even though he is super douchey; he is lovable. I did find myself hating Josie throughout the whole show. She was really insufferable, selfish and rude. That being said - I have finished the 3 seasons available on Netflix and it has left me wondering what the gang is all up to now! Word of warning - it is what some people might describe as vulgar, I personally love vulgarity so made me like it even more! However - if you are easily offended ... do not watch it. Cheers

Absolutely loved it. It was a sort of cocktail of Peep Show, Inbetweeners, Spaced and How Not To Live Your Life.Throw in a sort of modern Fawlty Towers feel to it and you are on to a cult classic.However it is more than that, it has its emotional moments when needed, great acting and fantastic, relatable characters. I would recommend this to anyone with a love for any of the above referenced shows.In fact, sack that, anyone who just love a good laugh.Cannot wait for the next, and sadly final, series to be released.10/10

Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, creators of Peep Show. It was probably these names that drew many of the more mature viewers to Fresh Meat, but unless my eyes deceived me, they only wrote episode one. Got the ball rolling. Actually, I'd say many of the later episodes were funnier, but imho Fresh Meat Series One is a disconcerting blend of brilliance and incompetence.What we have is the now pretty standard set-up of three guys and three gals plus a few ancillaries who come and go. Must not forget Paul, the unseen housemate, although the script often does. He's no Maris Crane. Six visible housemates at Manchester University. Their lives and loves, fears and insecurities, the ups and downs of burgeoning friendships.Now, I didn't go to Manchester, but I did go to uni and not so long ago that I have forgotten that university is nothing like it's made out to be here. I'd say the behaviour of the characters was often rather more sixth form than undergraduate and the show doesn't concern itself much with actual study. Rather fortuitously, all the guys seem to be reading Geology, but I found Kingsley's decision to change courses, for highly spurious reasons, unbelievable both as a personal decision and as a choice the university would permit. Little comedy mileage is created by his new subject, Drama, although the little that is demonstrated is entirely realistic, as I know from personal experience.I also had a problem with the idea that Vod could get into an English Literature degree course without the slightest enthusiasm for the subject, much less ability. Her friend Oregon is clearly an excellent student, though determined to hide the fact from her rebellious housemate; still, if I could accept the idea of her affair with the English professor, I couldn't believe the scene where she not only reads but starts to edit his new book's manuscript. Come on! He might fancy a bit on the side, but to allow a fresher to tinker with his book in her first term at uni? Generally, the housemates demonstrate the adolescent malaise that escaped my age group. With the exceptions of Howard, JP and Vod - the show's most confident characters and also the funniest and most likable - the others display an insufferable mixture of insecurity and bravado, constantly equivocating, hedging, humming and hawing, using annoying phrases - but if, that is to say, not that I've, and I'm like No way! - you know the sort of thing. It's impossible to care about the droopy romance between Kingsley and Josie which is as wet as a haddock's bathing costume. There often isn't any discernible basis for the characters' behaviour and little development. Why is Vod a druggie and a rebel? Why is Orgeon such a ludicrous mythomaniac. Why is Josie, meant to be seen as sensible and grounded, so obnoxious? One is looking for a little more explication, even in a show about people who have a problem communicating.And yet...Fresh Meat is often very funny, with lots of puns and neologisms, "guymens" for male hymens being one of my faves. The cast are faultless in their portrayals of these deeply worrying freshers, with Jack Whitehall and Zawe Ashton standing proud. Seeing Robert Webb playing such an insignificant needy teacher, another character hard to believe in, was both funny and poignant, since despite its merits and (occasionally) creative use of swear words, Fresh Meat isn't a patch on Peep Show (yet). It does come from the Channel 4 stable and no British channel has created or imported as much high quality comedy in recent years as Channel 4, so here's hoping Series Two will be both funnier and more tightly written.
