'Brilliantly conceived, written and acted': farewell to Brassic, the raucous sitcom with real heart

Dominic West, Joseph Gilgun, and the whole cast of Brassic have been saying goodbye to their lovable, yet hapless gang for good, bringing an end to the raucous sitcom that captured audiences with its real heart. The show's creators, Gilgun and screenwriter Danny Brocklehurst, decided it was time to wrap up the seventh season, fittingly numbering 50 episodes as a nod to the cast of lovable misfits.

Brassic, which debuted on Sky in August 2019, initially gained fame with its outrageous antics and outlandish plotlines. However, beneath its exuberant exterior lay characters that genuinely cared for each other. These lovable rogues were constantly finding themselves in absurd situations that showcased the best of British comedy.

The show's greatest strength came from its diverse cast of boisterous yet caring characters. Each member was given ample opportunities to shine, making it impossible to keep anyone down. Whether they were a dodgy entrepreneur, gay bare-knuckle fighter or mechanic, there was something for everyone in the Crow's Nest pub.

Throughout the seven seasons, the talented ensemble had managed to hold their own despite cast members leaving and joining the show at different times. The ever-changing guest stars added an extra layer of excitement, with notable appearances from Lee Mack, Steve Pemberton, Liza Tarbuck, Imelda Staunton, Greg Davies, and even Camille Cottin.

However, beneath its chaotic exterior, Brassic was also a masterclass in character-driven comedy. Its elaborate flashbacks, fantastical sequences, and dance numbers were reminiscent of shows like Spaced, Community, and Family Guy. The show's use of sarcasm and knowing looks added an extra layer of humor to everyday scenes.

While some may have dismissed the show as crass or juvenile, Brassic proved itself to be a beautifully crafted sitcom that was both authentic and witty. Its maximalist approach to comedy resonated with the Hawley crew's all-or-nothing attitude. With its talented cast, creative storytelling, and unapologetic humor, it's little wonder that fans are saddened by its conclusion.

The final episode has been billed as a dramatic departure from the show's typical style, with Vinnie potentially losing patience with his friends. This development has generated concern among viewers, who genuinely care about these lovable misfits. With the release of season seven on a weekly basis, anticipation and dread have reached new heights.

Ultimately, the decision to conclude Brassic is understandable given its longevity and quality. The show may be coming to an end, but its impact will live on through its memorable characters and the laughter it has brought to fans around the world.
 
man i'm so gonna miss brassic πŸ˜” they had a way of makin the most absurd situations sound real, like we've all been there, right? πŸ˜‚ but what really made the show stand out was how well they wove in these heartwarming moments that made you actually care about the gang πŸ€— vinnie, ashley, dan, and the rest - it's like they were family or somethin' πŸ‘ͺ

i mean, season 7 is comin to an end and i'm low-key worried 'bout what's gonna happen to 'em 😬 but at the same time, i get why the creators decided to wrap things up - seven seasons is a long haul! πŸ’― still, it's hard not to feel a little sad about sayin goodbye to these lovable misfits πŸ‘Ž
 
man i'm literally shook rn 🀯 they're ending brassic?! like what are we gonna do without those lovable misfits tho? 🀣 i mean the cast is insane, jo & dom are such legends now πŸ™Œ and can you even imagine life without crow's nest pub? πŸ˜‚ i know it was always a bit outrageous but that's part of its charm right? πŸ’₯ anywayz gotta say, i'm gonna miss those guys so much πŸ€• season 7 just flew by and now it's all over πŸŽ‰ what a way to go out tho, dramatic final ep... Vinnie losing patience with his mates πŸ˜‚πŸ‘Š fans are gonna be LIVID tho lolol 🀣 anywayz gotta give props to the creators for wrapping up that show on 50 eps, genius move πŸ’‘
 
I just found out that Brassic is ending πŸ€”πŸ‘‹ I watched like half of it and loved how they would get into these crazy situations 🀣 then there was the actual heart behind them which made me actually care about Vinnie, Vinny's family... stuff. What's with all the flashbacks? Were they just filler or what?! πŸŽ‰
 
man i'm gonna miss this show so much πŸ€• brassic was more than just a comedy it had heart and it had soul and the cast was literally insane πŸ‘Š from vinny to danish to lindsay they all stole scenes every week πŸ’” but i think it's time for it to come to an end 50 episodes is a good run especially considering how many times they changed up the writing team 🀯 and now that season 7 is almost over i'm just trying to enjoy every minute of it πŸ˜… can't wait to see what the final ep brings πŸ‘€
 
omg i'm gonna miss the Crow's Nest so much already!! 🀣 these guys were like my favorite dysfunctional family and it's crazy how much we've grown attached to them over the years. the show was more than just outrageous antics, it was actually a really heartwarming exploration of what it means to be friends & support each other through thick & thin. anyway, i'm not gonna lie, i'm a bit worried about vinnie losing his cool 😬 can't imagine the crew dealing with that drama... but i trust dan and joe to go out on a high note πŸ’― season 7 was so much fun to watch & i'm so grateful we got to see these lovable misfits shine in all their glory πŸŽ‰
 
πŸ˜’ Can't believe they're really ending this thing... I mean, I get it, 50 eps is a milestone, but now what? 🀯 The cast is literally just going to sit there for one final episode? πŸ˜‚ Give them something to do! And don't even get me started on Vinnie's "dramatic departure"... more like Vinnie's sudden interest in therapy, am I right? πŸ™„
 
I'm gonna miss this show so much πŸ˜”. I loved how the writers kept evolving the characters over the years, adding new layers to their personalities. The way they tackled real issues like mental health and family drama was really refreshing. And can we talk about the chemistry between the leads? It's like they were all meant to be a part of each other's lives πŸ’•. I'm not surprised it ended on a dramatic note though - those guys always knew how to bring the laughs 🀣. But seriously, what's next for Brassic? Will we get any spin-offs or movies? My mind is racing with possibilities πŸ€”.
 
OMG 🀯 I'm literally SHOOK that's all I can say... season 7 was always meant to be the final one, right? Like, the show was already getting a bit stale for me (I mean, no offense to any die-hard fan πŸ˜‚), and I think the cast did an amazing job wrapping up Vinnie & co's storylines. Can we talk about how Greg Davies' character became my spirit animal tho 🀣?
 
man I'm gonna miss this crew so much πŸ€• their energy was infectious and always left me laughing out loud even when they were getting into trouble which was often lol the way they all came together was magic, like a big dysfunctional family 🀝 it's amazing how a show can be both crazy wild and genuinely heartwarming at the same time, that's what made Brassic so special to watch
 
omg u gotta be sad that brassic is ending!!! i know its gonna be tough for some of us to say goodbye to those lovable misfits esp vinnie & dan @ the crow's nest pub πŸΊπŸ˜” they truly are a talented cast & creators, dan & joseph have done an amazing job with this show over the years. i'm glad we got 50 eps tho! it's like they knew it was time to bring everything full circle. i love how the show balances absurdity with heart - its gonna be hard to find a new show that gets me laughing like brassic does πŸ˜‚πŸ‘
