Ab Fab is guaranteed to make you laugh even if you don't want to! It pokes elaborate fun at what is "IN" (such as wearing designer clothes even if they look HORRID on you) & WHO is in. Wonderful actors across the board!

I love this show can't get enough. Always thought Britons were so stuffy until these ladies came into my home. Now I watch all the British comedies

To start off, I just got into this truly brilliant series a month or two ago, and it is ABSOLUTELY incredible. Lovable characters, hilarious antics, and just plain addicting to watch. If you want an intro to British Telly, then you should totally check this one out.
