Lovesick (formerly known as Scrotal Recall) is a British sitcom created by Tom Edge which was first broadcast on Channel 4 in October 2014. A second series was released on Netflix globally on 17 November 2016.
Dylan (Johnny Flynn) is diagnosed with chlamydia and must contact all of his previous sexual partners to inform them that he has the disease. Dylan's best friends are Luke (Daniel Ings), and Evie (Antonia Thomas), who for years has harboured a secret crush on Dylan but has now moved on and has become recently engaged. The majority of each episode of the show is told through a flashback, showing Dylan's encounters with a number of women.
The first series was made available on Netflix in the United States in April 2015 and was billed as a "Netflix Original". The show found enough success on the site that Netflix went on to commission a second series of 8 episodes, without Channel 4's involvement, which was made available globally on the streaming network in November 2016. The series is filmed in Glasgow. After its transfer from Channel 4 to Netflix, the show was renamed from Scrotal Recall to Lovesick.Antonia Thomas (Evie) noted that while the former name technically made sense, it completely mis-sold the tone of the show. Thomas admitted to being pleased with the name change, and noted that the second series would continue to follow the same format as the first, but would go into more depth.
