DVD Description

In Sugar Rush Series 2, star of the show Kim is no longer a fifteen year-old homophobic gay virgin--she's now a horny seventeen year-old who's ready to unleash her libido on Brighton's lesbian scene… that is, when she's not revising for her A Levels, saving Sugar from her probation officer, persuading Matt that playing Marilyn Manson backwards won't make him privy to satanic messages, or discovering the hideous truth behind her parents's apparently saved marriage. The second series also sees the introduction of sex-shop manager Saint, who, along with Sugar, attracts the attention of Kim. In addition to the distractions provided by these two, Kim also has to deal with her dysfunctional family--an obsessive father, an exceedingly unusual brother, and a ridiculously childish mother. With each new episode of the show--which is set in Brighton and based on the book by Julie Burchill--Kim's wry observations and experiences of forbidden love take you on a completely different journey.



Synopsis

Sugar Rush 2 delves into the life of teenage lesbian Kim and her intense lust for the beautiful Maria Sweet--otherwise known as Sugar--and sees the introduction of sex-shop manager Saint, who also attracts the attention of Kim. In addition to the distractions provided by Sugar and Saint, Kim has to deal with her dysfunctional family. She has an obsessively house-proud father, an extremely unusual brother and a mother who acts like an adolescent. Sugar Rush details Kim's teenage years growing up in Brighton, and focuses on her loves and all the excitement and complications which result from it. Each episode sheds further light on Kim's world and her emotions with the use of her wry observations on life and love.

5.0 out of 5 stars a second hit of sugar........., 13 Aug 2006
I was a bit sceptical when I heard about there being a second season of Sugar Rush, as I doubted it could beat the sheer brilliance and originality of the original series. I was soo wrong! After watching the second series from start to finish, I can safely say it beats the first hands down!

Less time is spent on the sex antics of Kim's best mate Sugar, but rather the focus shifts onto Kim and her over-active sex drive. Saint is a great addition to the series, and brings in a third element that, if it hadn't been included, could have meant the series becoming a duplicate of the first. And what a cliffhanger it ended on! At least it means there has to be a third season!

Anyway, if you've already watched the series, buy it, because you'll definetely want to re-live some of the hilarious, raunchy and often cringe-worthy storylines over and over again! And if you havent watched sugar rush season 2 (or season 1 for that matter) get them.....they're too brilliant for words

5 stars all round, this show is refreshing and new compared to the same-old rubbish that's on TV today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb sequel, 30 Nov 2006
By Ian (Norwich, UK) - See all my reviews
The first series of Sugar Rush was one of the best pieces of original television in recent years. It combined satirical humour, drama and poigniancy into a single lively, trendy programme. Somehow the producers managed to come up with a way to make a second series just as good, without just re-hashing the first.

Kim's new object of desire is Saint, the magnetic Sarah-Jane Potts. What with Sugar's interference, Kim's mistakes and Saint's enigmatic personality, much of the drama is in whether or not they will actually get together. Kim is a more driven character than before, partly through maturity and partly because her sexuality is now out in the open. Sugar, on the other hand, is having a tougher time of things and shows a more vulnerable side on occasion.

The acting, particularly of the three leads, is excellent and causes real empathy with the characters. There are several moments when the viewer may be genuinely moved, and the brilliance of the programme is the humour in and around those same moments. There is perhaps more of both comedy and emotion in this series than the first.

The DVD contains several extras: There are a lot of deleted scenes, some of which fill in background events; an odd, brief behind-the-scenes montage; some good cast interviews (but sadly not all the main characters are included); and commentaries on 3 or 4 episodes. The commentaries have some awful sound quality in places, which is a shame because the content is quite interesting for those fans wanting to know more about how the programme was made.

Whilst this series inevitably loses the freshness and originality of the first, it is by no means a re-hash, nor has it lost the essential ingredients that made the first so watchable. In fact, in some ways I prefer this series for it's balance of different sources of comedy (sharp dialogue, slapstick, irony, farce...) and it's slightly more complex main plot thread with more emotional ups and downs for the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it for the smile, 30 Aug 2006
By IanW "ianw" (Sunderland, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
of Sarah Jane Potts, though there are other good reasons such as the sharp funny dialogue and the acting. The plot centres round an emotional menage between Sugar, Kim and Saint (the wonderful Potts) Kim's new older girlfriend. All three characters are screwed up in their own way and at times you want to give them a (metaphorical) slap. Sugar remains totally unreliable and selfish, Kim is just as self-centred and short-sighted in her own way, and Saint is... well, I don't want to spoil that for you.
Kim's family don't play the central role in her life as they did in the first series. Her parents try being swingers in an attempt to resolve their marital problems and you can imagine how that turns out. The subplot concerning Matt her younger brother and his voyage of self-discovery from Marilyn Manson into something even more outrageous is sadly given short shrift and deserved more emphasis -the young actor does a lot with so little.
Never dull, always engaging, often funny, sweetly tastefully sexy, Olivia Hallinan is terrific, and if that isn't enough, buy it to watch Sarah Jane Potts smile, it's a smile to fall in love with.
