Baz Ashmawy comedy feels like Derry Girls set in Bray and it's just as good

I laughed out loud twice in the first 10 minutes of Faithless (Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Player). Which is at least once more than anybody laughs through an entire season of your typical Irish comedy. So it’s a great start to this new show co-written by and starring Baz Ashmawy. His co-writer is Stefanie Preissner and there is the same gutsy pace here that made us sit up and notice of her work in Can’t Cope, Won’t Cope.
