Long Dark Twenties.
A new comedy mini-series by three writer/performers from Dublin: Kelly Shatter, Luke Benson and Kevin Handy, who say:
Long Dark Twenties follows Lily and Ben, two friends living in Dublin, who suck at adulthood.
Lily and Ben have been drifting along aimlessly, working unfulfilling jobs to fund forgettable weekends. Now in their late twenties, they’re seeing peers get hitched, promoted, buy houses, and have babies. It’s high time they become responsible adults, a task which proves more than a little difficult for Lily and Ben.
Over the next five Thursdays, a new episode will be released online at 12noon here.
Full disclosure: the makers are the new tenants of Barry from his August office space post.
Thanks Barry

Wow that’s pretty awful.
sounds not too dissimilar to “can’t cope won’t cope”….
Tired old premise that every generation thinks they are the first to experience.
Tayto
Coppers
The craic
Hungover for work
Up in the big smoke
Living for the weekends.
Blah blah blah
I’d love to ban all those things.
And the dreaded “quarter life crisis”.
That is not good. It is bad.

Alan Shatter’s daughter is the lady in it.

Oh god. Dreadful.
I’m all for supporting new talent, but this needs a lot of work.
Not sure if the performers wrote this but please guys, rewatch the opening scene. No one actually talks like that. No one. Ever. Go back and structure it so that it seems like an actual conversation and you have a starting point. Then rewrite it all except the very best bit. Do that a few times and you might have a web series on your hands.
You’re going to have to point out “the very best bit” for us
Has it come to this? What was the point of this?
Fair play to them for trying but this was very bad. I full on regret watching it.
