What It Feels Like For A Girl on SBS Viceland and SBS on Demand S1E3 and S1E4 – What It Feels Like For A Girl is a wild, anarchic Y2K spin on a coming-of-age drama, inspired by the acclaimed memoir of the same name by the award-winning writer and journalist Paris Lees.
It’s a new millennium – Madonna, Moloko and Basement Jaxx top the charts, and there’s a whole world to explore. But teenager Byron (Ellis Howard) is stuck in a small working-class town that hasn’t been the same since the coal mine shut in the 80s.
Sick of mam, sick of dad, sick of being beaten up for “talkin’ like a poof”.
Byron needs to get away and doesn’t care how. Life explodes in a rush when Byron escapes to Nottingham’s kinetic underworld and discovers the East Midlands’ premier podium-dancer-cum-hellraiser, the mesmerising Lady Die (Laquarn Lewis).
Byron is adopted into Lady Die’s hilarious and chaotic family of trouble-makers – “The Fallen Divas”. Between them, they beg, steal and skank their way on a rollercoaster ride of hedonism at the heart of the UK’s early 2000s club scene. The party can’t last, though, and when Byron is seduced by bad-boy Liam (Jake Dunn), a shocking encounter occurs that will change life forever.
Season One, Episode Three:
Byron is pulled into Liam’s dangerous and intoxicating web, offering Byron a chance to reclaim power for themselves and make serious money in the process, but can Liam be trusted?
Season One, Episode Four:
Buzzing from the encounter with Liam, Byron goes out on the town with the Divas.
