"Juice, a surreal British comedy series, was created and is headlined by Mawaan Rizwan exclusively for BBC Three. Drawing inspiration from Rizwan's 2018 Edinburgh Fringe performance, the show made its debut in September 2023. The storyline revolves around the character Jamma, portrayed by Rizwan, as he juggles the challenges of work life and his relationships with family and his boyfriend. Although Juice is partially inspired by Rizwan's real-life experiences, the creator has emphasized that the show is unmistakably a work of fiction. Furthermore, the series includes Rizwan's actual mother and brother in the roles of his on-screen family. Juice stands out with its practical effects and visually trippy aesthetics, as it delves into mature themes through a childlike lens."
