A good effort. Now aim to explain how the irony, the humour, the parody of what could be seen as "traditional" scenes is created, how they migth be seen as subverted. Be specific in your detail; for eg, you speak of high rise flats at the beginning - make sure you are clear about the fact that they are clearly not trendy ones with expensive penthouse at the top! They are clearly part of a housing estate etc. this gives us our first clue about which social class will be dealt with in the series. The last paragraph is rather vague on representation - Is it realistic, stereotypical, fair, sympathetic? Do we emptahise with the characters? Why and how is it done? These questions should be at the core of your answer, and at the very least in your conclusion. Keep practising!
