In the cutthroat world of fashion and PR, a party-loving mother and her equally outrageous best friend stumble from one chaotic scheme to the next, fueled by excess and self-obsession. Their wild behavior constantly clashes with the more sensible family members around them, delivering sharp in-jokes and gleefully cruel humor.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a loud, unapologetically rude British sitcom about selfish adults behaving badly, with nonstop one-liners; Not for you if you dislike mean humor or substance-fueled antics, like in Fawlty Towers.
Pros: laugh-out-loud chaos; iconic oddball characters; sharp, cruel humor | Cons: bad taste for some; later episodes uneven; heavy drinking and drugs
