Dead Pixels series two goes a step further by driving Meg and Nicky deeper into their Kingdom Scrolls obsession while questioning the apparent sorted-ness of flatmate Alison (Charlotte Ritchie). In series one, Alison was the only grown-up in the room, the zoo keeper to Meg and Nicky’s shit-throwing chimps. Is sorted-ness though, all it’s cracked up to be? Maybe, says this show, a healthy diet, proper hygiene and holidays in Greece aren’t the markers of maturity and wisdom we’ve been led to believe. It nimbly suggests that in leading a ‘normal’ life, Alison is simply invested in a different sort of game, one that also involves amassing XP and attempting to level up. Ritchie’s far too good a comic to waste on tut-tutting, so it’s satisfying to see the cracks start to appear.
