Wasted
Created by James Lamont, Jon Foster
On E4
A surreal, character-driven comedy about stalled twentysomethings in a small village, balancing affection for its ensemble with the friction of prolonged proximity.
Four mates waste their twenties in a West Country village. Morpheus, a geeky conspiracy theorist runs a mystical souvenir shop with his unambitious sister, Sarah. His scrounger best friend Kent sleeps on their sofa rent-free, and his secret crush, Alison, runs a new age healing business at the back of the shop. Mixing the misadventures of twenty something life with visually surreal set pieces, it's about the very bad things that really good friends do to each other, when they've been living in each other's pockets since school.
