There is no baptism of fire more treacherous than that of a Twitter reaction. Alison Spittle's new sitcom Nowhere Fast debuted on the RTE 2 last night and afterwards people took to social media to give their opinion on the pilot episode.
Though RTÉ have not had a great track record with scripted comedy over the years Nowhere Fast seemed to strike a chord with it's audience as they tweeted in force their support of the show:
Big congrats to @AlisonSpittle for #Nowherefast . Who's been a gas cunt for years, great to see that being rewarded on tv.

It's nice to see such a positive reaction to an RTÉ comedy, hopefully the show can maintain the momentum throughout it's first season.
If you missed it you can catch the show on the RTÉ Player here.
