G’Wed Season 3 Review: Choppy But Still Good Fun

G’Wed has certainly been a guilty pleasure of mine since it debuted back in 2024 with its cheeky smutty humour that has long been lost from British TV shows for many years now.

After a strong second season the third came with a bit more expectation and risk but the question remained, could this show really have the legs and keep going strong during its third go-around?

What makes G’Wed so special is a solid cast that delivers incredible one-liners and solid camaraderie throughout, the line-up is so strong there’s not one weak link amongst any of the cast and season 3 is just as funny as the other two seasons but one thing about this third series feels a bit more disjointed than the other two.

Each episode stands on its own and doesn’t particularly feed into the next and whilst Season 2 attempted to tap into more depth and emotional resonance I feel as though on this particular occasion it tries too hard to force those scenes to the point where it doesn’t feel as natural or as sincere as it could have been delivered. 

Consisting of seven episodes G’Wed is still a very special series with strong performances and solid writing from Danny Kenny but at times throughout this particular season it feels as though arcs gets distracted and the series goes off tangent quite a few times.

Ella Grace (Evie Ward-Drummond) gets plenty more screen-time in this season as her woke character drives home everything from refugee debates to diving a little into her own personal battles and struggles but the show never seems to focus on one storyline or one scene long enough to really drive it home and in her case, it’s a pretty serious issue that is wrapped up within 3-4 lines of dialogue and never spoken about again.

The only scene that drives home that truly emotional note that the writers are clearly trying to hit here is a dance number in Episode 5, this scene was quite beautiful and found the core element of what makes the series special, combining heart and humour in equal measure.

Whilst G’Wed is still as relevant, fun and unique as it was when it first debuted this particular season feels a little hit and miss compared to what has come before.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good fun and laugh-out-loud funny at numerous points but it just felt like some of the storylines needed a bit more grounding and context before flying off the handle with hilarious consequences.

G’Wed Season 3 is a little choppy and a little messy in places but it’s still great seeing these characters develop but they certainly need a bit more focus and refining in Season 4 and with how popular this series is I have absolutely no doubt that a Season 4 will be on the way.

It was also great to be a very small part of the show with a day on-set at The Epstein Theatre in Liverpool, I pop-up on screen for just a second but it was such a fun day on set and it was great to see firsthand just how close cast and crew really were, there’s many shows where there is chemistry on screen and very little off it but on this occasion it transcends both.
