Jamie Demetriou on Netflix Sketch Special ‘A Whole Lifetime’ and the Future of ‘Stath Lets Flats' ’
Described by Demetriou himself as “birth to death in songs and sketches” and also Netflix’s “first British sketch special slash show,” the hour-long special takes audiences through a series of sketches incorporating childhood, adulthood and beyond, often accompanied by song.
In this you’ve got grown men pooping themselves, characters trying to strangle children and a dead body being tossed about in a bag. Did Netflix come back to you with any notes or concerns or were they like, “Yeah, all good”? You know, ultimately, what this is is a sketch show, first and foremost. But it’s funny watching things back you find themes in them that maybe weren’t intended. And something I’m happy with is that it feels like it’s finding the comedy in things that might feel a bit existentially difficult at times. Every sketch, in its own way, is about people trying to distract themselves from anxiety — to distract themselves from puberty.
