What are everyone's first impressions?


I know there is little information on the E4 page and a few videos, but what does everyone think this will be like?

Another Skins clone with Inbetweeners-esque comedy?

That sounds about right.

I just saw another trailer; it added American Pie and Glory Days to the mix.

Having just watched it, it's sorta like the UK version of "Meatballs" (The Bill Murray movie)

Nothing out of this world, but a good start for the first episode, and none of the 3 main lead characters annoy me... plus there's a couple of fine looking women in it, so things can only get better!

Definitely something to build upon, and I will continue to watch.

Three leads are cool enough, but the humour was painfully inept playing up to the Anglo/American divide too much. I felt bored within the 1st 20 minutes, which doesn't bode well for the remaining season.

No wonder channel 4's 4OD channel on youtube doesn't allow comments. Because I fear most of them would have been negative.

Its ok so far

It's not bad, no where near as funny as the Inbetweeners but it's an ok gap filler while I wait of Supernatural starting!

Seen the first 3, and: I like it! Looking forward to ep. 4. Sam is the best thing about the show, but all the actors are great.
