Drifters is a television show that has been aired from 2013 to 2016. It is a British sitcom television series aired on E4, which follows the lives of three women who've just graduated from university and are embarking on the next phase of their lives. The show is set in Leeds and revolves around the personal and professional lives of three best friends, Meg (Jessica Knappett), Bunny (Lydia Rose Bewley), and Laura (Lauren O'Rourke).

Meg, Bunny, and Laura are flatmates, and the show opens with Meg celebrating her graduation, which marks the beginning of adulthood struggles. The trio tries to navigate their way through tricky relationships, demanding jobs, and the ever-present pressure to be successful by finding their way in the real world.

Meg is the confident, outgoing, and over-ambitious member of the trio. She is desperate to make it big in London's advertising industry but is held back by the fact that she has no employment experience. She often finds herself spinning out of control and making rash decisions without thinking them through. She is also unlucky when it comes to dating and is always on the lookout for Mr. Right.

Bunny is a very chilled-out and relaxed character who doesn't take life too seriously. She has no clear goals in life and is content with going with the flow. She always takes the path of least resistance and falls in love too quickly. Bunny is the most laid-back of the three and often ends up being the voice of reason when things get out of hand.

Laura is the most responsible and self-sufficient of the three. She has a steady job at a call center but wants more from life. She is the most competitive of the trio and always wants to be the best in everything, whether at work or in her personal life. Laura's competitive streak often gets the better of her, and this is when she falls apart.

Throughout the show, viewers get to see the trio's crazy adventures, both personally and professionally. They face situations that most young people fresh out of university would experience, like getting fired from their first jobs, dealing with raging hormones and dodgy bosses. Each episode follows the girls as they navigate their way through new experiences and learn valuable life lessons that shape their personalities.

The show also touches on more serious issues, such as Meg's struggles with alcohol addiction and Bunny's dating an older guy who is more interested in her as arm candy than anything else. Drifters is not just a comedy; it's a show that depicts the stark reality of life after university, and the independence that it brings.

One of the most impressive things about Drifters is the actresses' performances. They all bring their characters to life with honesty, heart, and humor. Jessica Knappett, Lydia Rose Bewley, and Lauren O'Rourke have an effortless chemistry, and their banter feels completely natural. The show's writing is equally impressive, with sharp and witty dialogue that captures the essence of being young and trying to find your place in the world.

In conclusion, Drifters is a funny and honest show that features relatable characters and situations. It is a show that many young people can relate to, and it inspires both nostalgia and growth. Despite airing a few years ago, Drifters remains a lighthearted, enjoyable watch, and truly deserved its loyal fan base.

Drifters is a series that is currently running and has 4 seasons (30 episodes). The series first aired on October 30, 2013.
