UK Sky Original comedy series“Bloods” premieres exclusively on Hulu Thursday, December 9.



Synopsis: Samson Kayo (“Timewasters”) and Jane Horrocks (“Absolutely Fabulous”, “LITTLE VOICE”) star in this six-part comedy series as paramedic partners in the South London ambulance service. When tough-acting loner Maleek is paired with over-friendly divorcee Wendy, their partnership looks dead on arrival. But before long they’re acting as each other’s life support. An ensemble comedy, set within the fast-paced, never-ending rush of 999 call outs, “Bloods” also stars Adrian Scarborough (“Crashing”, “The Accident”), Lucy Punch (“A Series of Unfortunate Events”) and Julian Barratt (“Sally4Ever”, “Flowers”).

This show is great and I love the different characters and their personalities. The two main characters are so opposite and it makes the show so funny. The only thing I don’t like is some of the blood or injury scenes when they go on their calls, but I guess are necessary to make it a  bit more realistic.
