The latest comedy wearing its girl-power streak on its sleeve is the appropriately-titled Travel Boobs. The new web series from creator Jaime Slater follows three female friends as they look to run away from their problems with a road trip.
The main characters of Travel Boobs are all facing their own problems. Lily (Slater) is mourning a dead husband, Mel (Louise Bond) is in danger of being deported back to Britain, and Kai (Megan Heyn) harbors a dark secret. While they attempt to use their road trip as a form of escape, their respective issues cause their personalities to clash in hilarious ways.
Travel Boobs, like so many other shows featured in this space, succeeds by taking a simple premise and executing it skillfully. Its script, which, according to the series website, was "written by a chick, a fat guy and a black guy," is fantastic, and the characters are well-rounded.
