ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
sophiaciting I guess we are all different in our tastes, and I for one don't know the comedy rules as many of the people who write on here do.. Is it like inbetweeners? Not really and its definitely not like skins. It has its own atmosphere, perhaps I would say that inbetweeners was more bizarre with its scenes which led to laughing so much you can't breath but on the laughter scale this is laugh out loud, I particular love the Ozzy Teacher and I think the acting of everyone is simply brilliant. All in all with any TV series you have to grow to love the characters, they are the integral part of the process that keeps watchers coming back and that's why the shows mentioned above and others like Gavin and Stacy become so popular. I gave it 10 out of 10 because I have enjoyed every single episode there is always something new and exciting and its funny all the way through as well, which is important for a comedy and its not too silly like a bad education, its believable comedy and I for one enjoy dry humour the best, not stupid stunts and over the top jokes.
Adam Cockerham I don't wish to further support the ongoing and established criticisms regarding the show's failed attempt to copy the Inbetweeners' framework, however it seems impossible to view this atrocity without noticing the unbearable similarities within the two comedies. However, unfortunately, the only comical aspect of this show is its complete and utter failure to deliver. Nevertheless i can indeed confirm that the hilarity of the show's incompetence is somewhat compelling.Firstly, the unbearable use of the tall, dim-witted group member used in conjunction with a foul-mouthed, sex obsessed member and also a smarter and more sensible member of a group of four friends attending a comprehensive 6th form ironically has an opposing effect on the reader. I really do wonder how quickly the producers brainstormed the foundations for this series and who had indeed contributed to such ideas.The attempt at personifying the whole social demographic of lower class school students achieved nothing short of a hindrance to the general perception of female school children today. The use of characters and comic timing is consistently poor, not to mention the extremely low budget acting skills demonstrated by the majority of the cast. However i must admit that i see potential in Adeleyo Adedeyo's future, it's just unfortunate that this show won't provide her with the career foundations that she possibly deserves.I highly doubt, and highly hope, that this show does not continue with another series. There are plenty of current developments that would deserve the airtime and provide a much more significant impact on its target audience. I'm a firm believer of highlighting complimentary material where appropriate, but unfortunately, the only factor of this shows competence is that it categorically lacks in effectiveness to such an extent i find it hilarious.
torikus ffj 22 year old girl here. Just read through some of the reviews and I was surprised to see the negativity! I watched this show initially with my boyfriend and his mates in the heart of Coventry who all love the inbetweeners. I personally have not watched it, however all of us agreed that Some Girls was actually really good... and that the best bit was the acting. The character development is ace, which is why the dry humour works so well. I can't fault the script either. I like shows that pay attention to detail and visually some girls ticks that box. All characters are relatable... its not crazy like skins but for an educated London 2nd gen immigrant girl who has lived in council flats her whole life going to school in your low end inner city secondary and who had friends similar to Holli, Amber, Saz and Viva, this show sure does bring back memories. I also think its aimed at a younger audience, maybe 15-20. It's a great laid back show to watch that'll have you smiling all the way through.
Jonathan Knapp Comparisons to The Inbetweeners are inevitable, as the series follows four sixth-formers who talk about sex a fair bit, and one of them's a bit simple. However, it keeps the grossest of its humour (which doesn't hit anything near the worst of the Rudge Park boys' adventures) contained in the dialogue, and really the funniest moments are pure character. Brilliant performances from all four leads make it hard to pick a favourite. Whenever a joke might lag, the girls stay utterly committed and keep the entertainment levels high. Supporting actors are strong too as well, with Colin Salmon, Dolly Wells and Jassa Ahluwalia all giving memorable turns. Hopefully everyone will be back for the second series.
