    Chewing Gum might be the cringiest yet funniest British sitcom that has ever been produced in the 2000s. There, I said it. Parts of it can be revolting to some audiences, but I for one thoroughly love it. What’s even better is that the badass Michaela Cole did everything for this show: produced, directed, script-wrote, sang … <a href="https://culture.affinitymagazine.us/the-brilliance-of-chewing-gum-and-powerhouse-michaela-coel/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read
