We Are Lady Parts (TV 2021)

[muccamukk]

We Are Lady Parts is a British comedy that has one 6-episode season so far. It's on Channel 4 in the UK, Peacock in the US, Showcase in Canada. I know it's out in New Zealand and Australia, but not sure where.

This is a feel-good comedy about an all-female Muslim punk band trying to get off the ground in contemporary London. We throw together five very different women, mostly focusing on the character arcs of the lead guitarist who joins early in the show, and the front woman and lead singer who's trying to hold the whole thing together. There's lots of friends trying to support each other, plus conflicts where all the characters have valid but different points of view, learning and growing. It's got a great soundtrack, where the actors do play and sing both original songs and covers of classics. Is really funny, and there's just a whole lot of love. There is also a queer character, though she's not as much of a focus as I'd like.

Caveats: I have something of an embarrassment squick and was fine with it (there's a super awkward date scene in episode 2 that was the worst for me), but other people have said it's really hard to get through.

I'm requesting ship fic the lead characters, because they're just completely heart eyes at each other, and I love them so so so much.
