Brace yourselves for an electrifying night of comedy as Sky unleashes its uproarious new sitcom 'Juice', starring the brilliantly chaotic duo of Mawaan Rizwan and Russell Tovey.
This isn't your average sitcom fare. The series catapults viewers into the hilariously disordered life of Jamma (Rizwan), whose world spectacularly short-circuits after a freak accident with a faulty blender bestows upon him a truly bizarre superpower. Suddenly, he can manipulate electricity at will, a talent that sends his already messy existence into total comic meltdown.
Rizwan, the mastermind behind the series, doesn't just star—he writes and creates this whirlwind of laughter, proving his formidable talent extends far beyond his previous celebrated work. Opposite him, the esteemed Russell Tovey delivers a pitch-perfect performance as Jamma's long-suffering boyfriend, Owen, who watches his partner's life spark, fizzle, and explode with a mix of horror and bemusement.
A Superpower For Modern Chaos
The genius of 'Juice' lies in its refreshingly original premise. This isn't a superhero saga about saving the world; it's a deeply relatable, if wildly exaggerated, story about losing control of your own. Jamma's newfound ability becomes a brilliant metaphor for anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the sheer bedlam of modern life, all explored with a sharp, witty, and distinctly British sense of humour.
Why You Can't Miss It
Tonally, the show strikes a unique balance, landing somewhere between the heartfelt awkwardness of Fleabag and the surreal, high-concept energy of Misfits. It’s packed with laugh-out-loud moments but is also underpinned by a surprising warmth and genuine heart.
For fans of innovative British comedy, 'Juice' is an unmissable event. It’s a confident, clever, and utterly chaotic debut that cements Mawaan Rizwan’s status as a major creative force and gives Russell Tovey a glorious platform for his comedic chops. Prepare for your weekly dose of hilarious, high-voltage entertainment.
'Juice' premieres tonight on Sky Comedy and NOW TV. Don't forget to plug in.
