Fresh Meat is back - Channel 4's cult comedy-drama returns on Monday for more twisted tales of piss-ups, pubs and politics.
Morgan Jeffery, Digital Spy, 2nd November 2013Zawe Ashton, aka Vod, is the coolest thing on TV now
The plain-speaking, adventurously dressed star of Channel 4's student sitcom is bulldozing through barriers for black women on screen.
Bim Adewunmi, The Guardian, 2nd November 2013The scheduling of the first two series of Sam Bain's and Jesse Armstrong's student comedy mimicked the university year by starting in early October, so it's a later-than-usual, but still hugely welcome, return for Vod, Oregon, Howard, JP, Kingsley and Josie - except that Josie has transferred to university in Southampton, her inclusion here a stroke of comic genius.
Renaming the house "Pussy Haven", JP (Jack Whitehall) starts a dry-slope skiing society with a strict admittance policy described as "eugenics run by FHM". Vod (Zawe Ashton) has meanwhile returned from her travels with an amorous South American she soon bores of, and Howard manages to land a proper date. The outcome is genuinely heartbreaking.
