Clique

BBC Three have recently released a new TV series called clique which follows the lives of two teenagers and their lives at universities however the plot begins to become much for complex. The BBC summarise the story as "In the first year of uni, childhood best friends Holly and Georgia find themselves drawn to an elite clique. When Holly begins to suspect darkness lurks beneath the glamour, she will do anything to save her soulmate."

I first decided to watch the show as it is written by Jess Brittain who also wrote the Channel 4 series Skins. In an interview with the BBC, Brittain said that she hoped the quite extreme themes of friendship and challenges will resonate with young people but particularly young women. The series was filmed in Edinburgh which I find quite interesting as its so common for programmes to be based in London  and surrounding areas. From the two episodes that I've watched so far its clear that the series is driven by strong determined female characters with regard to both their personal and professional lives.
