ITV fans have shared their excitement at all episodes of a 'loveable' new sitcom being made free to binge-watch online.
Sitcom Transaction, created and written by Jordan Gray, hit our screens on Tuesday night with its first episode.
The show follows a transgender supermarket worker called Liv (Jordan Gray), who is hired by the manager in a bid to stop protests going on outside the Pellocks supermarket.
Viewers have become hooked and luckily they can watch all six episodes on ITVX if they don't want to wait each week for a new one.
Many have rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their rave reviews.
'3 episodes done of new sitcom Transaction on Love it! Very funny and can't wait to watch the rest #Transaction.'

'Just watched the first episode of #Transaction on ITVX. If you know Jordan Gray and her humour, you'll love this.'
'Watching #Transaction and I must say, firstly, it's so funny.'
Meanwhile others have rushed to IMDB to post what they think about it too.
'Brilliantly written, absolutely off the wall.'
'Refreshingly funny easy watch. Jordan Gray is amazing playing her quirky, egomaniac character.
'The show is very silly and easy to watch whilst doing other things, the comedy can be slightly low brow at times but it works with the ridiculous premise of the show and for her first sit-com is a true gem.
'The banter with the flatmate is top-notch and the whimsical shenanigans throughout the show just made me giggle the whole time.'
'Funny, self-aware, accomplished, and worth your time.'
ITV's synopsis reads: 'A wickedly funny new sitcom with Jordan Gray & Nick Frost.
'Egomaniac Liv must fix a supermarket PR scandal that's outraged the trans community - but she's having fun first, of course!'
The star-studded cast has also probably added to why people have been enjoying it so much.
Nick Frost, Doon Mackichan, Thomas Gray and Francesca Mills joins Jordan on our screens.
Speaking about her character, Jordan said of Liv to the Metro: 'She's a lone wolf character but really just wants to have a family.
'And then she finds this little weird dysfunctional family.'
Meanwhile talking to Pink News, Jordan said: 'I started writing the first little version of it seven years ago, but it has been a good five years in development.
Many have taken online to share their positive reviews about the programme - with one saying it's 'brilliantly written'
'It's weird because you get really good as a working-class comedian getting used to the suffering and the hard work.
'Now it's coming out, there's nothing to suffer for.'
Jordan shot to fame in the 2000s.
She has starred in the fifth series of The Voice UK in 2016.
She's played herself on Friday Night Live, The Russell Howard Hour and Joe Lycett's Got Your Back.

Britain's ‘darkest ever house' with all-black walls, toilet & furniture hits market for bargain sum.. could you hack it?
A HOME dubbed the "blackest house ever" is up for sale - and it could be yours for £375k. The property, located in Swinton, Manchester, is described as "a unique home that offers significant accommodation and generous outside space rarely found in homes within this price bracket." 10 10 But what makes the house truly stand out is its design — both the interior and exterior are entirely black. On the outside, the property features black walls, doors, gates, and a black garage. On the inside, it has black furniture, black radiators, and even an all-black toilet. Sharing the property on TikTok, user @housinghorror described it as "the blackest house [he] had ever seen". He said: "Some people are going to absolutely love this decor. "But I feel it's going to be a controversial one as we don't usually see these black houses that often." The owner is clearly a fan of the colour — listing photos show two black cars, a black drum set, and a wardrobe full of black clothing. They've even added black finishing touches to the home — including a painting of a black dog and a sculpture of a black panther. The home is set over two floors and comprises an entrance hall, lounge, open plan dining room, a fully-fitted kitchen, and three large double bedrooms. There are various outbuildings that include a gym, office, play room, and store room - and the home has a detached double garage. Stunning Gothic mansion made famous on BBC's Home of the Year up for sale... and it has very famous links The property is situated within a private gated plot and has a large back garden - which offers "excellent space for relaxing and children's play". The listing continues: "The location is within easy access to many local shops and amenities and is well placed for renowned primary and secondary schooling. "It is also ideal for access to major transport links making it ideal for those looking to commute into Manchester and across the North West. "This is a unique home that offers significant accommodation and generous outside space rarely found in homes within this price bracket. "As such, an early internal viewing is strongly advised to avoid disappointment." The owner is looking for offers in the region of £375,000 - buyers can find the listing here. It comes after a property developer was forced to put a derelict hotel on sale for just £1 after pumping £3.2 million into its restoration. And a unique five-bedroom detached house with a special bathroom has hit the market for £700k - would you put in an offer? 10 10 10 10 10 10 10

Glastonbury ‘appalled' at Bob Vylan's ‘death to IDF' chants
The organisers of Glastonbury Festival said they were 'appalled' after a punk act led chants of 'death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' during a performance. In a statement the festival said the actions of Bob Vylan on Saturday 'very much crossed a line', adding there was no place for 'antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.' Rapper Bobby Vylan, of the duo Bob Vylan, led crowds on the festival's West Holts stage in chants of 'Free, free Palestine' and 'Death, death to the IDF'. • Glastonbury 2025 live: Rod Stewart and Olivia Rodrigo set to headline final day Asked about the comments during an interview on Sunday, Wes Streeting, the health minister, said the chants were 'appalling' and that the BBC and festival had 'questions to answer'. Avon and Somerset police said video evidence would be assessed by officers 'to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation'. The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) said it would be formally complaining to the BBC over its 'outrageous decision' to broadcast Bob Vylan. Belfast rap trio Kneecap gave a highly charged performance on Saturday that criticised Sir Keir Starmer, the prime minister, with expletive-laden chants. The prime minister said last week that it was 'not appropriate' for Kneecap to perform after one of its members, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, was charged with a terrorism offence for allegedly displaying the flag of Hezbollah, a proscribed terrorist organisation, at a gig last year. He has denied the charge. Asked about the Bob Vylan performance, Streeting told Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips on Sky News: 'I thought it's appalling, to be honest, and I think the BBC and Glastonbury have got questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens.' He said that people should be talking about the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and that Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian Christian village in the West Bank this week, but added: 'The fact that we saw that chant at a music festival, when there were Israelis at a similar music festival who were kidnapped, murdered, raped, and in some cases still held captive; whether it's a Palestinian or an Israeli, whether it's a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim, all life is precious. 'All life is sacred. And I find it pretty revolting we've got to a state in this conflict where you're supposed to sort of cheer on one side or the other like it's a football team.' Asked if the BBC should have cut the live feed, he said the broadcaster had questions to answer, but that he did not know what the editorial and operational 'challenges' were regarding taking such action. Culture secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance, a spokesperson said. On social media, the Israeli Embassy said it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival'. Ted Cruz, the Texas senator, wrote on X that the footage was 'Truly sick. Thousands of people screaming 'Death to the IDF.'' Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the scenes 'grotesque', writing on X: 'Glorifying violence against Jews isn't edgy. The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked.' A spokesperson for the CAA said 'Our national broadcaster must apologise for its dissemination of this extremist vitriol, and those responsible must be removed from their positions.' Leading music promoter Harvey Goldsmith, who helped organise Live Aid, said: 'I'm proud to have dedicated my life to Britain's music industry and I'm now horrified to see it become a platform for open hate. 'The BBC must have known the views of Bob Vylan and that there was a risk they would use this the stage in the way they did. 'I can't help but suspect the BBC chose to allow this to happen given the furore over Kneecap. 'If the kind of invective they used had been directed against any other minority, World War Three would have broken out. 'What's happened is an utter disgrace for the BBC and for Glastonbury.' Lord Austin, the government's trade envoy to Israel, said: 'This disgusting chant is totally unacceptable, and could be incitement to violence. I hope Avon and Somerset police will launch an urgent investigation and if necessary, arrest the band members responsible. 'They bring shame on Glastonbury festival which ought to ensure nothing like this ever happens again. 'And the BBC also needs to take responsibility to make certain that nothing like this is ever broadcast in future.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. 'During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.'
