    Although the name 'Scrotal Recall' is one of the worst TV show names I've ever heard, the show is excellent. Absolutely hilarious, with a stellar cast. All of the bad reviews are after just the first episode, which is just the setup, it's like judging how funny a joke is without hearing the punchline. I recommend watching the first three episodes before you make a judgement, it's a good way to get an idea of the show, the pilot doesn't do it justice.The actors' chemistry together is great, and Johnny Flynn as Dylan is amazing (singing, acting, songwriting; is there anything that guy can't do?). I don't get why some of the reviews say he's unattractive, I think he's cute, but maybe that's just me.TL;DR Good show, watch the first 3 episodes and I'm sure you'll love it. :)

    Being drunk and having read some words about being banned from writing future reviews in case I give away any spoilers, makes me fairly petrified. But here goes it...this is the right kind of mush. The story, the characters are so well written, that you crave for more (nice word crave), you want to hear more, see more from each of the characters- Evie in Season 1 and surprisingly Angus in Season 2. Every episode is a little sloppy mushy romantic little present waiting to be opened. You can't help but root for Dillon in every episode (I think I am going to check "Contains Spoilers" at this point). If this the kind of Romcoms I can look forward to without the age old sexism and sappy formulas(Is it formulae?) , I am all in. The backdrop of Glasgow is beautiful. The only one reason why I held myself from giving this a 10 is because, the complex characters have been portrayed really young and my mind of 33 years (ok 34) cannot comprehend me having such emotions at such a young age.

    I would have to agree with the two other negative reviews. Yes, I too only watched the first episode, but to be honest don't really feel a drive to watch any other episodes - doesn't this on it's own mean it was bad? I don't need to have to devote more time to a show that I just don't see would deliver. The idea was great and I even laughed at the first couple of lines which were puns (silly I know). But as the episode progresses I found the main character too goofy and some of the others too stereotypical also to be believable at all. I know shows don't have to be believable but I like them so, especially if they don't particularly gain something from being over the top (think Danger 5 or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia).I don't want yet another show playing on stereotypes that have been explored over and over again, especially if it's as corny as this. What's even worse is some of these stereotyped characters would often behave completely out of character for a person like them, only so long as it serves the goofy storyline (best example is the groom who goes from whipped slimy mummy's boy to aloof drunk playboy). I can see some chicks and sentimental detached from reality teens like it a lot though, as it seems to revolve around a guy who wants to do good by his dames and seems to do alright for somebody as inept in communicating as him. I give it 3 as it's an alright production but with a pilot that bad it just won't ever redeem itself.

    The title 'Scrotal Recall' had put me off when I first saw the trailers when it was originally airing on TV, the actual trailer itself looked a bit silly. A year had passed and nobody was really talking about the show and then suddenly I came across it on IMDb and saw the rating of 7.9 so decided to give it a go. I watched all 6 episodes over 2 days (3 each night) it was fun although it wasn't constant laughter for me.I liked the concept of the show and the way we see characters develop as we go back and forth over different periods of time. Although it is slightly frustrating how we can go back 5 years and EVERY single character still looks and dresses the same as they do in the present day. There was a lot more main characters than I expected; expected it to just be a guy being stupid looking for girls he slept with but the supporting cast all had their own story lines going on and contributed to the main theme of the show very well. My favourite character was Evie, played by Antonia Thomas who I also loved in Misfits.Although it's not the most hilarious show it's certainly worth your time for the 6 episodes, I'm not exactly left wanting more but the characters provided me with enough laughs to keep me entertained for a few hours.
