OMG It's bad... well thats what I think anyway. It's just patronising!! I'm in 6th form currently, and find it horrendously patronising.
And its not funny, they might think its an exageration of High schools, BUT ITS NOT!! My school is pretty much as bad as that, lots of mouthy kids, the young ones aswell. And they're not just mouthy to the new kids, its all the nice ones, all the normal ones. The ones who arn't dressed 5 years older than they should be. It really is horrific how bad schools are now... when I was in year 7 we were NEVER mouthy to kids older than us. Let alone 6th formers.
I watched it, must admit I was disappointed after all the trailers, but it does seem more realistic than Skins, and I did laugh when everyone in the corridor was swearing at the new guy randomly.
I personally think this is a great show, very funny and a good contrast to Skins i think (comedy versus drama) and i agree that it is more realistic than Skins.
