Ackley Bridge

What can I say... this is a very well written show. It puts everything relevant in today's society out it the open no matter how ugly. And I'm not gonna it will rip your heart out seeing what teens today face on a daily basis.

PS I want Mrs. Paracha as an Auntie because she's wonderful

It's a bad mix between a Carry-On and Monty Python, just without the jokes. Anyone in the know understands this has as much to do with real education as a chicken has to do with a calculator. As for the stereotypical characters, Benny Hill could have written more realistic people and storylines. Finally, the back alleyways of the houses, I thought they'd burst into "Every Sperm is Sacred"! Watch for a laugh, but only if you can't find a spoon to remove your own eyeballs; which would be preferable. Absolute trash TV.

This review will not contain spoilers so i will not go in to the ending in detail however sadly it wasn't brilliant and a fresh new cast for season 4 would not be a good idea in my opinion. Away from that, I think that the show was absolutely wonderful and really shows you the difference in poverty in just one area and also the ongoing struggles that people go through when coming out or being in love with someone who doesn't love you back. Altogether I would recommend this show!

A bit Mean Girls, Waterloo Road, Teachers. Secondary school drama that seems realer than most about modern Britain, though all the main characters, those with the most interesting, meatiest arcs in the first episode were the white characters, not that unlike Indian Summers, another recent Channel 4 series ostensibly setting out to create a 'balanced', evenly split portrayal of its racially divided milieu. I wonder if this will change in episode 2 or if this is simply how it is going to stay for the entire series...

Absolutely hooked from the first episode, brilliant show.

I'd stop watching after season 3, season 4 was shocking! I got half way through the first episode and had to turn it off, very cringey!

Turned into a cringey teen drama.
