All episodes of bbc's 'electric' lgbtq+ drama free to stream

All episodes of a brand new "wild" and "electric" LGBTQ+ drama are now available to stream for free just in time for Pride Month. BBC enthusiasts can binge-watch all

eight episodes of the fresh series What It Feels Like for a Girl, which has been described as "wild" and "anarchic". Adapted from Paris Lees' memoir, the eight-part

series is billed as a "raw, heartbreaking and hilarious drama that explores escape, self-discovery and self-destruction." Set against the backdrop of a small working-class town

transformed by the closure of its coal mine in the 80s, teenager Byron longs to escape the drudgery and bullying of everyday life, no matter the cost. The narrative catapults viewers into

the early 2000s where Byron's life takes a turn upon diving into Nottingham's "kinetic underworld" and joining Lady Die's "Fallen Divas" family. However,

as with any gripping drama, the euphoria is short-lived when Byron falls under the spell of the enigmatic bad boy Liam, reports Devon Live. The BBC describes the show as: "Joyful, frank

and packed with memorable characters, What It Feels Like For A Girl is a journey of love and danger, self-discovery and self-destruction. Because to find yourself sometimes you need to lose

yourself." Available now on BBC iPlayer following their release today, Tuesday, June 3, the series, based on a best-selling book, is touted by the BBC as "a wild, anarchic Y2K

spin on a coming-of-age drama." In an interview with the BBC, Ellis Howard, who portrays Byron, shared: "The show has a real bite to it and feels anarchic, punk and edgy, but also

joyful and has a real lightness of touch and wit. The characters are misfits, punks, living on the fringes of society and use their acid tongues as a defence mechanism, giving the show wit

and banter whilst also delivering a severe emotional punch. Ellis added: "Hopefully, people will stay for the love and joy but will be heartbroken by the depths that the series goes to.

It doesn't shy away from telling the truth; it has trauma and grasps the human experience." Reviews are already pouring in, with Rachel Aroesti from the Guardian describing the

show as a "wild ride", writing: "It feels like a spoonful of sugar after a resolutely unsentimental tale of a chaotic, morally ambiguous period of transition. It's

certainly a wild." She added: "If you stay on board until the end, a memorably complex psychological portrait will be your reward." The Guardian described the show as

"electric", with reviewer Rachel going on to call it "deeply disturbing and totally fearless TV". Ahead of the show's release, Jake Dunn, who plays bad boy Liam,

promised "provocative" and "playful scenes", adding: "And at times, quite dangerous. There's a lot of drama and intensity." _ALL EPISODES ARE NOW AVAILABLE
