Fresh Meat
Created by Jesse Armstrong, Sam Bain
On Channel 4
A sharp-edged comedy-drama about six university roommates navigating friendship, identity, and early adulthood through a mix of cringe humour and genuine emotional vulnerability.
Six students — Vod Nordstrom, Oregon Shawcross, Josie Jones, Kingsley Owen, JP Pembersley, and Howard McGregor — are freshmen (save for second year Howard) at Manchester Medlock University. Having applied late to accommodation, they live in a shared, off-campus house in Whalley Range rather than the halls of residence.
