Bad Education

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
