Chickens

2013 · 1 season

A silly, gentle sitcom about cowardice and small-village shame, played for laughs rather than sorrow.

Overview: It's the First World War. Our nation's heroes are fighting the good fight on foreign soil, but in one sleepy English village three young men remain: George is a conscientious objector, Cecil has flat feet and Bert really is a coward, unfortunately. They don't fight on the front line, but they do fight each other.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, light and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: War, identity, friendship, isolation
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
