G’wed: this underrated gem of a comedy is filthy, heartwarming and packed with ideas

G'wed, a Scouse sitcom, has entered its third season, tackling significant themes such as class, anorexia, and neurodiversity alongside its comedic elements. The show, which premiered on ITV, has been noted for its blend of mature subject matter and humor, including jokes about local slang. Critics have drawn comparisons to "The Inbetweeners," highlighting its premise of a middle-class boy, Christopher, navigating a new secondary school in Liverpool among working-class peers, including his rival Reece. While the series features immature antics and teasing, it also explores themes of grief and class disparity, offering more depth than typical fish-out-of-water narratives. The title "G'wed" itself is revealed to be Scouse slang for "go ahead," underscoring the show's authentic portrayal of Liverpool's working-class culture.
