Big Bad World (TV series)

Big Bad World was a British sitcom that aired on Comedy Central from August 15, 2013, to September 19, 2013. The series followed Ben (Blake Harrison), a perpetually underachieving graduate who still lives with his parents in rural Wales and dreams of becoming a published author. The show revolves around Ben's awkward attempts to navigate adulthood, romance, and his unfulfilling job at a local garden center.

The supporting cast included notable actors such as Georgie Glen as Ben's mother, Rebecca Front as his therapist, and James Fleet as the garden center owner. The humor in Big Bad World stemmed from Ben's lack of ambition, his eccentric family, and the often-cringeworthy situations he found himself in.

The series was created by Joe Bor and featured six episodes. While it boasted a recognizable cast, Big Bad World received mixed reviews and was not renewed for a second season. Common criticisms centered on its predictable storylines and lack of originality, despite the talent involved. The show attempted to portray the anxieties and frustrations of young adults struggling to find their place in the world, but ultimately failed to resonate with a wide audience.
