Juice review – a raucous, eye-popping millennial queer comedy | Television & radio

There are few comedy tropes more compelling than that of the adult baby. Juice, a new BBC Three comedy created by Mawaan Rizwan, dives into the world of Jamma, a cartoonish millennial who is incapable of doing anything for himself. The show is filled with humiliating and cringe-worthy moments that will make viewers watch through their fingers.

Juice: A Hilarious Exploration of Adulthood

Mawaan Rizwan, known for his YouTube channel and hosting the documentary "How Gay Is Pakistan?", brings Juice to the screen. Unlike many other queer comedies, Juice doesn't focus on a quest for acceptance but rather delves into the challenges of being a grownup when you're a total weirdo. Jamma's family accepts his sexuality, but struggles with his eccentricities.

In this raucous comedy, Jamma lives in his own world, with fantasy elements blending seamlessly with reality. The show's visual style may take some getting used to, but it quickly delivers witty and ridiculous moments. Juice draws inspiration from the work of director Boots Riley, though it's not quite as artistically executed.

Jamma's Eccentric Relationships

Juice shines when exploring Jamma's interactions with his family, particularly his mother, played brilliantly by Shahnaz. While Jamma often comes across as wacky and weird, his character lacks depth. Moments of nuance are rare, but that doesn't hinder the show's overall entertainment value.

A Love Letter to Slapstick Comedy

With slapstick comedy at its core, Juice transports viewers to a world where nothing makes much sense. Though it has its patchy moments, the show's raucous and purely entertaining nature outweighs its flaws.
