Telly Review: The Young Offenders is still a relatable, funny hug of a TV show in its fourth season

"The Young Offenders is mainly the same people doing the same things in the same place. That’s real life for most of us, no wonder it resonates with such a huge audience."

New series of hit comedy The Young Offenders coming to BBC One on May 10th 2024

The Young Offenders (BBC One and iPlayer) has always thrived on chaos and surprise. Season Four is no exception – Jock and Conor are in separate prisons for cocaine smuggling. 

Their former principal, Barry, has been kicked out by his wife Orla. Conor’s ex, Linda has moved on and is engaged to his arch-enemy, Gavin Madigan. So it’s all change.
