Lee and Dean

2018–2019 · 2 seasons

A cringe-comedy of awkward silences and unspoken longing, where laughs come from discomfort as much as jokes.

Overview: Stevenage-based builders Lee and Dean are brothers from other mothers, inseparable best friends since they first met at school. That is until Lee meets and falls in love with Nikki and she moves into their flat.
How it feels: Absurd, melancholic, earnest and campy. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Friendship, love, identity, loneliness
Content: Strong language. Mild sexual content. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
