Best of 2011: Television
Show: Fresh Meat
Season: One
Starring: Joe Thomas, Kimberley Nixon, Jack Whitehall, Zawe Ashton

Fresh Meat really snuck up on me. While perusing for TV during the start of the new season, I came across this new show with Joe Thomas and Jack Whitehall, and I thought, well, I like the Inbetweeners, and I like Jack Whitehall’s stand up, so I’ll give this a go. I’m very glad I did, because it’s one of the funniest shows of the year, especially thanks to breakout star Zawe Ashton. Vod is one of my favourite characters of the year, and if I decide to do a top 10 characters of 2011, she’ll be there. Someone who won’t be there though, is Josie, as played by Kimberley Nixon. I don’t get it, I feel like we’re supposed to sympathise with her, and want her and Kingsley together, but I’ve never hated a TV character more, other than Agent Stahl in Sons of Anarchy. Nothing against the actress, just the character. Aside from that, however, if you feel like there’s an Inbetweeners shaped hole in your life, you could do worse than check out Fresh Meat.
