Leo Reich’s new series turns the struggles of young Londoners into its playground, mining a generation’s problems for biting, clever comedy.

Ethan, Abi and Sam, inseparable friends in their mid-20s, are forced into real adulthood when eviction looms. Razor-sharp and witty, It Gets Worse skewers a generation stuck between housing crisis, humiliating jobs and messy relationships, while savouring the joy of youth in one of the buzziest cities in the world. It’s anchored by standout performances from the three leads, alongside unforgettable cameos from the likes of Lena Dunham and Andrew Scott.
