Wild Cherry is Rich People’s Problems – and TV For Women, taking place in Richford Lake, an affluent place to live, and split into two distinct areas, firstly Wetherford Estate, known as The Island, the best of two, where Juliet (Eve Best – Maryland) has perfect life with teenage daughter Allegra (Amelia May), who makes Instagram videos to make her life look even better.
Some of us have a life and don’t need to watch such bollocks, however.
Even on the other side of town, although it’s not “The Island”, they’re still in massive houses, like Lorna (Carmen Ejogo – Fountain Of Youth) and family, inc. daughter Grace (Imogen Faires – Marcella), so it’s the same difference.
However, mothers Lorna and Juliet are brought before the headmaster, because Allegra and Grace are accused of making a video of them where they’ve been dancing around in their underwear while appearing to be high, yet if there was a video, it’s been deleted, so where’s the evidence?
Whatever the truth is, why are all the kids allowed to use their phones during school lessons? They sooner they ban them, the better.
Anyhoo, also taking in a party at influencer K-Rizz’s house – who’s the black rap equivalent of Jimmy Savile – Wild Cherry is immensely dull, vapid, a complete waste of your time and I couldn’t care less whether or not the videos exist. I’d rather watch that ten-hour film, Paint Drying.
Wild Cherry begins tonight on BBC1 at 9pm.
It’s not yet available to pre-order on Blu-ray or DVD, but when it is, it will be listed on the New DVD, Blu-ray, 3D and 4K releases UK page.
All episodes are available now on BBC iPlayer.
