LIVID Screw viewers have branded the Channel 4 prison drama the ‘worst telly in years’ as they switch off after just two episodes.

The six-part series follows two prison officers in the C wing of a fictional men’s prison named Long Marsh.

The drama stars His Dark Materials star Nina Sosanya and Derry Girls’ Jamie-Lee O’Donnell as Leigh and Rose.

The second episode saw Rose having to assign a buddy to an irritating inmate. while Leigh had to figure out how to keep a transgender inmate safe.

However, viewers were unimpressed by the storyline, with many taking to Twitter to say they couldn’t watch any more.

One wrote: “That #screw on #C4 is proper keiron dyer. Worst bit of telly in years.”

Another added: “#screw Was looking forward to it but very disappointed.”

A third tweeted: “#Screw watched both episodes now, s***e show imo, never been in prison before but I imagine it’s nothing like that. Won’t be watching episodes 3.”

Meanwhile a fellow viewer simply stated: “#screw it’s absolutely s**t.”

However, others were kinder about the show, with one writing: “So after watching the first episode of #Screw my verdict is it’s a great show, enjoyed it so gonna watch the next one now!”

Another added: “For those doubting #screw on Channel 4, the later episodes do get better, I promise!”

Screw airs on Channel 4 and is available on All4.
