Was pretty rubbish tonight!

Agreed, the 2 episodes before were far better. Didn't feel like a lot actually happened in tonight's, and there weren't as many laughs.

Any episode of any show that is filmed in a different location than normal is usually disappointing.

Yeah it wasn't great last night. I am starting to find some of the characters a bit annoying, they all seem way too intense all the time for a bunch of 18/20 year olds.

What else has that ginger mate of the Scottish mate been in? Really bugging me.

Actually, the answer I was looking for was he was Just William's older brother.

Oregon is lovely. She alone is worth tuning in for.

Samee · « **Reply #47 on:** October 22, 2011, 05:30:48 PM »

Seen all the episodes. Almost all the characters are absolute dicks one way or the other. None of them are actually that, likeable. Josie pisses me off the most though, so many double standards.

Jack Whitehall as JP is surprisingly good though. I've never liked any of his stand-up stuff but he seems to be better in this sort of climate.

Pistolero · « **Reply #48 on:** October 22, 2011, 11:37:15 PM »

turned into a very good little series this.....really well acted, Welsh Josie is indeed a bag of contradictions..annoying but charming with it....Oregon is superbly played by Charlotte Ritchie (cute as fck too)... and have to say Jack Whitehall is an infinitely better comic actor than he is a comedian.......contrary to some of the views expressed above I actually thought the lastest episode (the London demo) was funny as fuck.......was in bulk at JP going native with the coppers

Yea I agreed. Jack Whitehall's character is very funny.

hassinator · « **Reply #51 on:** October 27, 2011, 08:13:03 PM »

i love it. just caught up and while the protest episode was always going to be tricky to pull off it still made me laugh.

killer_heels · « **Reply #52 on:** October 27, 2011, 08:17:44 PM »

I think the slightly angst and sad angle along with the comedy worked well. Too much angst and it ends up like Skins and too much comedy then it turns into a less funnier version of The Inbetweeners, as the characters are not as likeable and funny.

hassinator · « **Reply #53 on:** October 27, 2011, 09:04:57 PM »

i think its a step up from the inbetweeners which i think had great scrips but always wondered what it would be like it was cast in america.

in fresh meat i like the awkwardness of the different personalities.

the jock reminds me of nick frost's character in spaced and to an extent its the same program just recast for a different time.

what i like about it most is the ensemble performance when they're together in the house or the pub and could do with more of this rather than event episodes.

jp is an excellent character and the rest of them are both well drawn and familiar to anyone who's been to uni even if it was 20 years ago.

JerseyKopite · « **Reply #54 on:** October 28, 2011, 11:00:36 AM »

Thought this week's episode was brilliant, surprisingly touching at the end with the horse.

Voltaire · « **Reply #55 on:** October 28, 2011, 11:45:15 AM »

Absolutely loving this show. Strong characters are the maketh of good comedy, and this has two crackers in Howard and JP.

The second series has been commissioned. Boss.

Pistolero · « **Reply #56 on:** October 29, 2011, 08:58:04 PM »

slight change of pace this week...but none the worse for it...top notch performances again from the ensemble cast cant believe how good Jack Whitehall is in this - hated the fucker pre-episode one ...but hats off to him

Father Ted · « **Reply #57 on:** October 31, 2011, 08:19:45 PM »

It's not on this week but ep7 is up on 4OD.

It's become quite a good little series and Whitehall is definitely the funniest thing in it. Episode 7 is excellent, particularly:

Kuytinho · « **Reply #58 on:** November 1, 2011, 07:58:27 PM »

Just watched the online episode. A couple of really funny scenes in there - get on it.

BazC · « **Reply #59 on:** November 1, 2011, 09:24:24 PM »

Ah nice, thought this had finished. How many episodes are there- 10?

Father Ted · « **Reply #60 on:** November 1, 2011, 09:31:14 PM »

8 episodes I think.

checkolad · « **Reply #61 on:** November 1, 2011, 09:43:32 PM »

It has soo much potential. They need to stick to one writer to develop the characters and story.

mildale · « **Reply #62 on:** November 3, 2011, 03:09:04 AM »

Great episode. Like that creepy ginger kid too. Kimberly Nixon is still fucking adorable.

i disagree actually. the reason american sitcoms have superseded their UK equivalent is that they have teams of writers well versed in the nuance of the characters. its hard to right 'really funny' for a whole series if there's just a couple of people working on it. there are of course exceptions but i think as the series evolves it will be interesting to see how they spin it out. people go to uni for three years - four at most - unless they all do an MA or indeed PHD. will this just run for three seasons? will we follow the characters after college? will jp get his own spin off series? it all remains to be seen but have to say this is the best sit com i've seen since spaced, a series with which it has very obvious parallels.

Ok, so there isn't an episode on tonight, correct?

Her character seems to fluctuate a lot - for the first few episodes she was just a bit of a layabout, then suddenly she's taking a load of Class A drugs and having an overdose.

Have to admit, Jack Whitehall really out me off even giving this show a chance, but did anyway, thankfully. He's actually really good, and you forget it's him you're watching.

Only not funny. She's the only character really who's gags continually fall flat.

i think she's a great character but i would agree that she's not as funny as super hans. few are.

what's the bets she ends up with melissa/oregon? sugar rush vibes are in the area.

Possibly, but I think JP/Oregon is also a possibility.

Contrary to popular opinion, I quite like Jack Whitehall.

Not sure why, but Howard's my favourite character. I think he's brilliant.
