I really love this series and here's why. First, the actors are top notch. They are excellently type cast, and each character is developed in such a way that I feel like I really know them. The connection between Dylan and Evie is charming and it keep me coming back for more. Luke is hilarious and Angus is the friend we all have had. Even the flashbacks work because it is clear that everything this gang of friends has experienced has helped make them who they are today. More shows like this Netflix, please! I really can't wait for the next season to come out!

Great show; fresh, funny, good actors...brilliant scrypt

Seems like the original title ("Scrotal Recall"!) was a little too on-the-nose for Netflix, even though it's a perfect fit for the show's initial premise: Dylan, a young Glaswegian, loves not wisely but too much, gets chlamydia, is obliged (by law) to notify all his exes, going back a couple of years... Not sure that makes total sense from an epidemiological standpoint; it's really just a pretext for some entertaining flashbacks, one episode per ex initially, like Rob's obsession with reliving his failed relationships in "High Fidelity." The tone is wistfully romantic, for the most part, with time out for some raucous ensemble scenes set at various wedding venues, strip clubs and the ER waiting room (following a traumatic hookup in a nightclub toilet stall), all very skillfully staged. The writing is smart and funny; the cast is just about perfect--notably Johnny Flynn as Dylan, Daniel Ings as his wingman, Luke, a smug, obnoxious IT guy, and adorable Antonia Thomas as Evie, confidante and on-and-off love interest. It's hard to resist binge watching; the second and third seasons hold up remarkably well.

This fun and witty series gets off to a good start with episode 1. "Scrotal Recall" is not afraid to have broad humour tangled in with charm, mischief and guffaws while it examines relationships and affairs of the heart. Main character Dylan, boyish and Hugh Grant-like, revisits his flings of the past. Along the way we learn about him and his friends: the pretty Evie and the roguish Luke. Episode 1 is set at the wedding of meek Angus and bride from hell, Helen. Helen is great fun to watch. Helen the bride barks orders at her entourage. Then, just before the wedding starts, she states "It's f**ing show time!" and she emits a glorious fake smile and marches her way towards her wedding day.Writer Tom Edge seems to be channelling the spirit of Richard Curtis, writer of "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Love, Actually" and more. The wedding setting of episode 1 oozes "Four Weddings" sentiments. Multiple stories mix and clash yet stand on their own. The pacing is glib but fun. Serious moments are real enough but avoid getting bogged down. The laughs are mostly light and a few good guffaws are deserved. It's enjoyable and frothy.
