Juice television show reviews

Juice is a surreal comedy that follows my character Jamma as he stumbles his way through love.

Joyfully bucking the trend for realistic comedy-dramas, Mawaan Rizwan has successfully harnessed his on-stage silliness into a delightfully bonkers sitcom. To set the surreal undertone, we first see him battling through the rainforest for what turns out to be a meeting with his boss in a marketing agency, charged with promoting a new yoghurt for men. While this is great fun, what keeps you invested is the relationship between Jamma and his more strait-laced boyfriend Guy, played by the ever-watchable Russell Tovey. Guy, a therapist, is clearly yearning for a more mature relationship but Jamma literally feels the walls closing in on him when the notion of settling down is raised. However, on screen, nothing is likely to upstage Mawaan.

TV comedy fans will know Rizwan from his, shall we say, unconventional approach on Taskmaster. Now Rizwan gets a chance to put everything he is nuttily good at together in his crazily wonderful debut sitcom Juice which he has written and stars in. Rizwan plays fast-talking, funny-walking Jamma, a chaotic, attention-seeking carefree soul who, in the first episode, thinks he is about to get a promotion in the marketing agency he works for. After all, the firm seems as wacky as him, complete with a ball pond in the open plan workspace. Outside work he has a relationship with Guy, played by Russell Tovey, who is a rather more sensible therapist.
