Shadazzle is a British comedy-drama web series following a group of friends, inspired by soap operas.[2] The show was created by Brett Barnett and Stacey Mackenzie and premiered on January 25, 2012. The series is filmed primarily in Wombwell[3] and Sheffield, with exteriors shot in Wath-upon-Dearne.[4]

Synopsis

A parody of over-the-top soap operas, Shadazzle follows the melodrama in the lives of a group of friends, centred on Florence Smith and her fiancé, Fred Flagglebush.[5] When Fred decides to hire a "vodka swilling cleaner,"[6] the couple's personal expenses goes tighter and Florence is forced to accept a job as an exotic dancer at a local club. She soon becomes the center of an unstable Trevor Shaw's unwanted affection, that ends in disaster when Trevor crashes the wedding.

Each episode of Shadazzle follows the perspective of a different character, with story lines eventually interlinking as the series progresses,[7] and features themes of personal struggle and alcoholism, among others.[8]
