Shit Happens! If you are ever in any kind of situation, saying “shit” is the new buzzword and the web series Shit Happens is here to coach you through it. In fact, if you are not too busy laughing, try and count the number of times the word “shit” is used- it is a lot. Shit Happens is not for the faint-hearted. No, it is not violent or anything; it just has a lot of shit, literally and figuratively. As a comedy, it packs a hefty punch; it is that kind of show that make you feel uncomfortable and then immediately makes up for it with its brilliant and daring humour. Created by Maina Mundi who is also the writer, this series follows G (played by Gerald Langiri), an average working-class man who cannot seem to catch a break as he navigates his daily life. When we enter G’s world in episode 1, his mischief gets the better of him when he is caught watching pornography in the office, an incident that triggers a series of unfortunate events that defines the mess that is G’s life for the next six episodes.
