I'll give this terrible education an 8; a score given almost entirely on the value of dialogue. In every concept this show is plainly, used, but the stereotypes stay fresh with a stream of static wit. Banter fights back and forth from start to finish. The character palette is too robust to ever stay looking at one color for long. Characters are stably defined, and growth among any of them is highly unlikely. But as they interact, the extreme envelopes them as you get to sit and watch these kids ride toward utter nothingness mislead by a teacher who seems to be skilled in absolutely nothing but responding to any situation, anywhere, instantly and in the worst way possible. I suggest checking it out if dialogue is your thing the British have been doing it a long time. ~Ideophobe

A fair to middling comedy which I think will resonate more with the 13-25s

I've never been a massive jack Whitehall fan but my son's were so I watched this and had a few giggles along the way but its the superb cast that provides the laughter. Note I copy and pasted for the t.v. series and film cos it's the same.

If you haven't watched this then give any of the episodes a go. It is just pure entertainment, there is not supposed to be a point to any of it other than to make you laugh, (which it repeatedly succeeds in doing). It is slick, has fresh tight scripts moves along at a pace and you don't really need any prior knowledge of the characters to enjoy each episode fully. Don't expect the main protagonists to develop over time. This isn't one of these get to know the characters and feel empathy with them over a course of a series things. Ultimately comedy is about making you laugh and this one manages to do that with its absurd set-ups and excellent dialogue. Co-written by Jack Whitehall, he deserves credit for creating something which is very enjoyable.

Great show is very funny, great characters, and a heartfelt ending!

Don't be fooled by the title, Bad Education is everything but bad. The characters (although somewhat cliché) are all lovable and in many ways relate-able. An example would be the flamboyantly eccentric Stephen (or indeed his alter-ego Stephanie). The show takes place in a typical British secondary school filled with dodgy teachers, and even dodgier pupils. All the funny scenarios and wacky situations will make you think "(sigh) if only my school was really this funny"

Although, it may not quite be enough to rival that of the Inbetweeners, this school-based sitcom is British comedy gold. Whether it be with Headteacher Frasers "banter" or with Alfie's embarrassing memories, there's plenty to keep you giggling.

Muxh funnier than I thought it was going to be. Don't believe the low score.

Watching the series for theb2nd time. Lots of cliches and inappropriate stuff but it is extremely funny. The young cast do an outstanding job!

Very typical Jack Whitehall so funny. However, the horrible and jarring soundtrack transitions that go from a whispered decibel to screaming in your ear make it difficult to enjoy. 100% NOT recommended if you are using headphones or live in an apartment complex or don't want to experience action-sequence transitions.

A fantastic British sitcom. Enjoyed it from start to finish. It's stupid, rude and childish. If you like the Inbetweeners, you'll like this. The end of the 3rd series is heartfelt but still wamingly comical. Definitely one of those series I could watch repeatedly

Jack Whitehall as a school teacher, and a really funny school teacher, that is why it's called "Bad Education" I guess. Jack has this posh accent and he cracks silly funny jokes and the story in every episode is funny. Jack having a crush over Miss Gulliver, who is her colleague. Miss Gulliver is pretty and funny by the way. Students are fun too. Especially the character of Joe, Joe is cute and Joe's chemistry with Jack, will surely make you laugh even more. This show might take you back to the school and you'll miss your school memories and the class fun and you might start wishing your school teachers were Miss Gulliver and Jack. I wished that Miss Gulliver and Jack were my teachers. I wished they created more seasons and more episodes. I wished It was a never ending show. Although non of my wish came true but still I watched this show many times over and over again. And I bet you guys would watch it over and over again too. Jack Whitehall deserves the credit to make shows really fun and he is the co-writer too. this show makes me say "Thank You Jack Whitehall!"

I very recently discovered this show and I finished it today. Absolutely hilarious, great characters, sweet, hilarious, sometimes a tad gross but in the best way, hilarious, entertaining, relatable in a way, extremely hilarious, strange and random, but can also be oddly touching sometimes. Oh, how the ending of series 3 made me bawl my eyes out. Sitcoms are one of my very favourite genre of television, but there are many, many out there that I can't stand. This is not one of them!!!!

Although, I want to clarify that I've been talking about only the first three series. The 4th one... yikes.

Nevertheless, moving back to series 1-3, though pretty much every character have certain.. issues, some more significantly than others, they are all very, or at least they become, lovable. I absolutely adore the friendship between Alfie and the kids. It really is a beautiful yet sometimes disgusting, sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking (s3 ending specifically) and always... if I haven't said yet, hilarious.

You're a legend, Mr Wickers!

First three seasons were great, really funny, eight out of ten probably.

Fourth season just ruined it. Literally zero points. So i have given 2 because of the first three seasons.

The new characters are just not funny. Like terrible. And neither are the two returning main characters. Shame as they were funny in the first three seasons. Particularly Steven, just not funny. Rude. But not funny rude. Just arrogant rude.

I don't understand how something can go so rubbish. Attempting to tick boxes and end up with rubbish non funny nonsense that pleases nobody. Well except people that have low intelligence.

Not a single bad episode every one has you laughing out loud, hilarious definitely worth a watch

Ok, not exactly up there for comedic excellence but series 1 - 3 did offer entertaining filler when you were at a loss for watching something. But then bang! Disaster. How can writers and producers get things so bad, I mean bad on a cataclysmic scale? The reunion episode onward it's as if they had zero ideas and good production values died with Covid. Nothing that made the original series watchable made it through to R/S4.

I would give s1 to 3 seven out of 10. If you average out with the abomination that is R/S4 then the negative score I would give on that results in. 2/10.

Why don't producers give money to talented crew instead of this heap of embarrassment.

The first 3 seasons had laugh out loud moments so I was excited to find a show I could get a few weeks out of but quickly realised it should have stopped at the end of S3.

I've watched 2 eps of S4 and just can't get any further unfortunately. I had wondered where they were going to go with it once the kids graduated but assumed they'd introduce a new Form K class for us to love.... they didn't. And there wasn't even a "3 years later" explanation or anything. Just, suddenly there was a new storyline with some old characters and some new and no explanation as to the outcome of the bill of the characters.

I think there was a missed opportunity here.

Positives

Likeable characters

Great sence of humour

Good emotional episodes sometimes

Teenagers act really well, and stupid and think there cool like most teenagers with the odd one out of course

Great chemistry between the cast

Negatives

Some of the stories can be a little weak I. E. boring

Overall

8/10.

OK, its crass, juvenile, and has spectacularly non-PC dialogue. But it is pure genius IMHO. Banter level indeed reaches stratospheric levels, and it is recommended to download subtitles to follow all slang spoken at breakneck speed. I have recently re-viewed some episodes and was rolling on the floor laughing. Here is a one-liner quote, one of a thousand of the surreal dialogue. When asked to ask a question during a visit to the "Petting Zoo and Ink museum" here is what Joe comes with: "Would you rather be a boy with a dog's head or a dog with a boys head?" following Rem-dogs rather non-PC one: "How come you can call dogs bitches, but not bitches bitches?" And BTW I'm no dumb teenager myself having recently entered my sixth decade. I think this has not enough cult following as it should ...

I recently discovered this series on Netflix and found myself laughing out loud and therefore hooked by the first episode which isn't always the case with comedy series. When I was watching it I realized how similar it is to the American comedy series A.P. Bio (which came after Bad Education) but funnier; so if you're a fan of A.P. and comedy series in general you should try Bad Education.

I loved all the previous seasons of bad education and gave it an 8. Season 4 is just horrible. Jack Whitehall is not even in it anymore and nothing makes sense. The former students seem to be teachers. It makes no sense, it's not funny, it's just cringe worthy. I couldn't even get through the first episode, what utter drivel! To think I was looking forward to watching this all day, what a downer. I wish I had a character counter so I would know when to stop whinging. Maybe there's an app for that? Aah I see there's a little red counter on top here, that's really appreciated. In short, cringeworthy drivel.

Just started watching a few episodes, and so far it's got me laughing non stop. The swimming gala episode especially had me laughing so hard I was crying.

British comedy at its finest. The setting is funny.

To be honest, I'm a sucker for British shows and I liked Bad Education.

I would suggest it for anyone looking for easy going show with a general setting. It falls right into the HIMYM, Big Bang theory setting except that its not a sitcom.

I loved it!!

Bad Education follows Alfie Wickers, an infantile young teacher who deserves, and gets, very little respect from those around him. He has a class of assorted children, mostly more confident and adult than he is. Banter ensues. The end.

Fundamentally humor is subjective so you may not agree, but I found Bad Education hilarious. Great pace of jokes, funny situations and characters, just worked really well for me.

Although obviously the characters and situations are exaggerated I think the writing really captured a lot of 'truth' in the writing, and various characters and situations really reminded me of people I knew at school and things that really happened (if turned up to 11).

It's a shame how few episodes there are and I wish we got a bit more time to get to know some of the kids a bit better, but then the brevity does mean that it never outstayed its welcome. Seasons 1 and 2 are my favourite, with the pacing and style changing a little bit on season 3 - still entertaining but just didn't work quite as well for me.

You'll probably be able to tell whether you'll enjoy this series about half way through the first episode. If you're enjoying it then you'll probably enjoy all the other episodes too. If not then it's probably not worth watching any further.
