Some Girls

22 year old girl here. Just read through some of the reviews and I was surprised to see the negativity! I watched this show initially with my boyfriend and his mates in the heart of Coventry who all love the inbetweeners. I personally have not watched it, however all of us agreed that Some Girls was actually really good... and that the best bit was the acting. The character development is ace, which is why the dry humour works so well. I can't fault the script either. I like shows that pay attention to detail and visually some girls ticks that box. All characters are relatable... its not crazy like skins but for an educated London 2nd gen immigrant girl who has lived in council flats her whole life going to school in your low end inner city secondary and who had friends similar to Holli, Amber, Saz and Viva, this show sure does bring back memories. I also think its aimed at a younger audience, maybe 15-20. It's a great laid back show to watch that'll have you smiling all the way through.

Really funny show with likeable characters. Its basically an female version of The Inbetweeners. I do miss when BBC Three was an Channel.

I stumbled across this while scouring Prime Video after accidentally letting my subscription roll into another month, and I'm glad I did.

I was surprised to find it compared to the inbetweeners everywhere because even though I enjoyed both shows I never really made any connection between the vibe of each show.

They all do a great job for young inexperienced actors although the girl playing Amber hams it up a bit too much for my taste (which could have been a deliberate choice from the director)

When I finished I thought they could have fleshed out the other 3 a bit more, but as it's mostly done from Vivas perspective, it's all coming through the lens of a 16 year old girl.

It was also nice to see girls sticking together in tv show rather than the endless power-struggle that makes up most on-screen all-female friendship groups.

And actually, what impressed me the most as the former London schoolgirl who got practically eaten alive by the other students, I had zero anxiety or resentment watching it. Saz and Holli would've publicly screamed at me for bumping into them - and when I was watching Skins or the inbetweeners or anything else along the same lines, some part of me was always aware of this whereas watching Some Girls I forgot and was along for the ride. This, despite the (very funny) humour being a bit predictable, is pretty impressive!

The only negatives I can really think of is that some of the girls' accents sound a bit forced, like they've been told to exaggerate? And funnily enough I thought all the adult acting was weaker than the kids. Also (not really a spoiler) while Viva and the girls are obviously going to have a naive perspective on it, there should have been a clear "that's not ok" point about Jamie's potential history in one way or another.

It's not a laugh riot but I'm definitely going to watch it again because 3 seasons flew by

8 for Dolly wells. I've been wanting to watch this for some time as i love these types of shows. Firstly it's nothing like the Inbetweeners. I found it more like Ackley Bridge but I liked that better. I'm on season 2 now and am going to finish tonight. Oh to add someone said it's available on Prime? It's not for me but I'm in the US. It is however available on Roku TV. I'm going to finish tonight and see how it goes I'm editing to add to the id**ts saying this is a rip of of Inbetweeners! Have any of you watched it? I reviewed it as well. Also no one here is obviously a Peep Show( cult classic fan) because then you'd get it. These girls don't drive or wank all the time and look for sex all the time. Nothing like Inbetweeners!

Honestly... I loved it! Made me laugh all the way through on every episode! Quite a lot like skins and the inbetweeners. I'm watching them all over again now, and can't wait for the next series either. I Don't see how people can't like it, but I guess they have different tastes, this is definitely my type of series but can't believe it was only 10 episodes long, was a lot like inbetweeners but in my opinion a lot better. The blonde girl is always making me laugh, reminds me of my friend,I'm Currently on the 1st episode again now, as I love it so much! Don't know what else to say, very enjoyable and watchable. Definitely 10 out of 10 for the comedy overall.
