The entertainment world is abuzz with a jaw-dropping clip from the upcoming British TV show It Gets Worse featuring the talented Andrew Scott. The scene, which has taken social media by storm, showcases a surprising and explicit moment that has left viewers in shock and delight.
It Gets Worse is the brainchild of 28-year-old comedian Leo Reich who not only created and wrote the series but also stars as the lead character, Ethan. The comedy series delves into the chaotic lives of Ethan and his two best friends from university as they navigate the challenges of life in London in their mid-20s. The plot thickens when their landlord threatens them with eviction, adding to the already tumultuous dynamics of their friendship.
The Viral Clip That Took the Internet by Storm
The clip in question, shared by acclaimed indie studio A24 on social media, has caused an immediate stir for its massive plot twist. The one-minute-and-48-second clip starts with Leo, as Ethan, venting in what appears to be a therapist’s office. The scene takes an unexpected turn when Andrew Scott, revealed to be the therapist, engages in a passionate and explicit interaction with Ethan.
Andrew’s character, whose name has not been revealed, leans in and passionately kisses Ethan, eventually putting his hand around Ethan’s throat. The big plot twist is then revealed: Andrew isn’t actually Ethan’s therapist; he is an app hook-up. The scene escalates with Andrew asking Ethan, “You know what you are?” to which Ethan responds, “What?” Andrew then says, “You’re just a hole for daddy. Say that.” Ethan repeats the phrase, and Andrew responds with, “Good boy,” before slapping him around the face.
The Cast and Production Behind It Gets Worse
In addition to Andrew Scott and Leo Reich, the cast includes notable names such as Lena Dunham and Amelia Dimoldenberg. The series is being produced for Channel 4 in the UK, with A24 behind the production. The show is set to premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on 14 October before landing on Channel 4 in the UK and Crave in Canada.
The comedy series explores themes of humiliating jobs, messy love lives, and the rapidly falling will to live, all while the trio tries to keep their friendship together. Charlie Perkins, Head of Comedy at Channel 4, praised Leo Reich’s ability to distil the swirling complications and idiosyncrasies of his generation into succinct, spiky, and incredibly funny writing and magnetic performances.
The Public Reaction
The public reaction to the clip has been nothing short of explosive. Social media users have flooded the comments section with a mix of shock, amusement, and admiration for the boldness of the scene. One of the most popular comments joked, “I thought this was gonna be something profound then it turned into something profound.” Another user echoed, “Sometimes it’s worth it to watch the whole thing. This is sometimes.” The clip has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on viewers, with many expressing their excitement for the upcoming series.
As the premiere date approaches, the anticipation for It Gets Worse continues to grow.
