Netflix viewers praise ‘phenomenal’ series that will have you ‘hooked on first episode’ but there's just one catch

Four seasons of the comedy-drama, starring Michelle Keegan and Misfits' Joe Gilgun, are available to stream now

Netflix viewers are singing the praises of an award-winning comedy-drama that recently landed on the platform.

Over the last few months, Netflix bosses have been working tirelessly to bring a plethora of shows from UK broadcasters to the streaming service.

In recent weeks, we’ve enjoyed tuning into the newly licensed All Creatures Great and Small from Channel 5 while others have been rediscovering ITV gems like The Durrells and Downton Abbey.

But last Thursday (August 22) subscribers were ecstatic to learn that the a beloved Sky original show had been added to Netflix.

You can check out the hilarious trailer below:

Created by This Is England and Misfits alumni Joe Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst, Brassic documents the exploits of a motley crew from northern England on the verge of adulthood.

Across the TV show’s five seasons, the likes of Vinnie O’Neill (played by Gilgun), his girlfriend Erin Croft (Michelle Keegan) and Ash Dennings (Aaron Heffernan) pray on the residents of Hawley and commit various petty crimes to line their pockets.

Unfortunately, only four seasons of the series are available to stream on Netflix right now, but that’s 28 episodes ready and waiting to binge.

And it appears that watching Brassic is exactly what subscribers have been doing.

The Sky project is currently number the number one TV programme in the UK and it holds an average 93 percent score on the Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter.

However, many fans claim Brassic has the potential to alienate a lot of viewers due to its distinctive voice.

Replying to a Netflix Bangers Facebook group post which asked what show 'will have you hooked on the first episode', one user commented: “Brassic currently No1 in UK, but you have to understand British humour.”

A second echoed: “Especially (northern) British humour.”

Over on X, one complimentary fan wrote: “Been feeling ill all day but nothing perks me up like the news that brilliant British comedy series #Brassic is now on Netflix! Watch it now, it is absolutely f**king hilarious.”

“Just seen that Brassic has hit Netflix. Best UK comedy/drama since, I don't know, Minder?” typed someone else.

Another added: “Can’t believe it took me this long to watch Brassic when it’s been on tv for actual years, god bless Netflix for giving me the push I clearly needed because it’s BRILLIANT.”

And a final viewer simply put: "Phenomenal television entertainment!"

Brassic seasons one to four are streaming now on Netflix.
