Sugar Rush is a British TV drama series about sexuality, mainly homosexuality, with slight hints of comedy. It is set in Brighton which is a British landmark for gay, open relationships. The series is based on the book written by Julie Burchill.
Kim, the protagonist, has just moved to Brighton and developed a hormone-surging crush on her new best friend, Sugar. Kim uses the word "identikit" to describe her two gay neighbours. I noticed that the young characters in the narrative are identikit young people because the narrative consists of the young characters constantly thinking about sex or having sex.
There is a scene when Sugar and Kim are in Sugar's room. Sugar's idea of dressing like a woman is looking like a hooker, this represents alot about Sugar's charisma. She advises Kim on dressing this way to attract the male builder that Kim fancies. But as Kim arrives home in her new outfit she catches her mum cheating on her dad with the same builder that she had feelings for. Kim then rushes out of her house needing a 'sugar' fix. This connotes that Kim has quickly developed a strong attraction for Sugar and she needs to see her whenever she's feeling down. This may be Sugar's natural effect on most of the characters in the narrative
Some good notes on Sugar Rush Noel. I like your analysis of representation, however in the exam you would need to refer to specific examples of mise en scene, camera movement, editing or sound.
