2 / 10 TV Show

If you're looking for a fresh and original comedy set in a women's prison, you might want to skip Hard Cell, Catherine Tate's first ‘attempt’ at a sitcom.

The show is a mockumentary that follows Laura (Tate), an inept governess who tries to reform the inmates with her clueless ideas and schemes. Tate also plays several of the prisoners, such as Big Viv, a violent Scottish woman who loves doing Kardashian impressions, and Sian, a Welsh woman who speaks so unintelligibly that she needs subtitles. So like the British version of Lunatics? Tough s(c)ell.

The problem is that most of these characters are one-note jokes that get old fast, and the humour relies too much on shit (just bad, not faecal) gags, niche stereotypes and toilet humour (so actual shit jokes). The show also feels dated and out of touch; as it makes fun of racism, homophobia, and classism without much nuance or insight. I’ve read hella praise for Tate's comedic talents and the cast, but I’d have to say the show feels like a lacklustre relic from a bygone era. Hard Cell might be just one hard watch.

SNACK EIGHT:

Yeah, by now it is crazy expired, but it still tastes the same. Sure, they seem to let off a suspicious amount of fumes, almost as if the sunny window I left it by had melted the plastic which had leached into the sauce making it go even worse than expired. Okay, MAYBE my nightmares have been getting more vivid and terrifying the more sauce I eat. And FINE, MAYBE I see a shadow person getting closer and closer each time I close my eyes! IT’S NOT A BIG DEAL!
