Can't Stand...

I'm only on Season 1, Episode 3 and I like the show so far. This is my first post on here but I hate Lulu so much, I had to get it off my chest!
At first, I felt sorry for her, unrequited love and all that stuff... But who is she to purposely and blatantly try to ruin anyone's relationship? Who is she to decide whether Anthony is happy? Who is she to try to embarrass Kate in front of everyone? She is clearly trying to take advantage of the fact that she and Anthony have been friends for so long. I'm so glad he sees right through her "flighty, whimsical, spontaneous" b. s.
I laughed so hard when Anthony said something like "quit trying to f%#k Sam, you're embarrassing yourself and I don't want him catching anything" !!! That is the exact moment I decided to finally make my own post hahaha!
Ok,so does anyone else feel the same way as I do? I'm curious as to who everyone else's favorite/least favorite character is. Thanks a bunch if you're still actually reading this lol

Yes! and swimming in curry? I was waiting for the intervention of her being an alcoholic...seems like the only way i can understand her actions (curry party was hella cringy for her) like not just disgusting attitude but physically lol like stinky. Not sure if you watched the episode where she went to an 'auntie' it was a bit disturbing how the auntie was touchy...thought that might explain Lulu's personality but idk...she ended up with the money.

Anthony's not good either (obviously in love with Lulu as well, lying to girlfriend) but he doesn't seem as disgusting.

I just finished watching all in one night (after watching 1st episode a month ago, took a while to go back to watching this) so it was only 6 episodes which made it watchable. Not British so I don't really get the whole living in the hospital as property guardians when they seem okay and not poverty level people.

Favourite to watch (well mostly cos he's handsome) was Sam and it's like just waiting for him to do something with Fred. And most bearable female would be Melody though sometimes exaggerated and the coworker Jessica (love Chewing Gum!)

I think this is just Phoebe Waller's comedy schtick, sort of a skinny Amy Schumer -- constantly being cringey, offensive and insensitive.

I actually liked all of the characters, although, yes, they did make me cringe from time to time, but I think that's part of the comedy. It's in that The Office/ Curb Your Enthusiasm vein, isn't it? One of the funniest moments was the embarrassing curry night with Lulu wallowing in her misery and drunkenness, trying to seduce Sam. Cringey and funny.

My favourite characters are Melody and Colin. They're a really interesting pairing and Melody is one of the funniest characters on the show with her bizarre intensity. So good.

My least favourite character is probably Sam, who is a prick. His saving grace is that his prickishness is self-destructive - it's emotional armour. Because he's using it as a defense mechanism, I feel sorry for him. I also loved his wee voice in episode five (I think it was five, anyway...)
