'Sugar Rush' - Series Two, Episodes 1 and 2
Season 2 of science-fiction series 'Sugar Rush, ' premiered last night on Channel Four. Not one alien or a laser beam in sight, but plenty of lipstick lesbians meeting in lesbian sex shops, having lipstick lesbian sex, dancing in crowded femmes-only lesbian clubs, then holding hands and sipping Coke from curvy glass bottles on Brighton Pier. I mean, where can you find a glass Coke bottle these days?
I've seen lesbians like that. However, they are not all like that. It's as if they did a story on gay men where we were all young-ish and buffed and had un-shaved heads and talked and walked manly. If such a place exists, I'd like the address please. In the meantime, I'm more than happy with a mix of all the flavours under the rainbow, from campest to butchest, from daddy to twink, the more varied the merrier.
Still, I quite enjoyed it, mainly for its Desperate Housewives-y highly unlikely situations and dialogue (it is an adaptation of Julie Burchill's teen novel):
'OK, it's been 18 months since I hot-wired a car, stole my mum's credit card and had hot lesbian sex with my best friend Sugar'.
I liked Episode 1 enough to switch over to E4 and watch the following episode, and went to bed at an ungodly hour and I'm a bit of a wreck now.
Will probably watch it again, if I can get over the protagonist's striking resemblance to Li-Lo. Kept thinking Herbie was going to appear any minute.
