Buffering review
If it all sounds fairly indulgent, putting your life on screen right after the latest bulletin from Love Island's baby-oiled, Balearic-based Brains Trust, then you should know that Jedward aren't involved. And Buffering has some funny lines.
Aidan Smith, The Scotsman, 8th August 2021TV Review: Buffering, ITV2, episode 1
Crikey, ITV2 in funny sitcom shock? Yes, and it's called Plebs. Only joking, Buffering is pretty good too.
