The First Team

Wanted to like it given track record of those involved (Inbetweeners) - but it was a disjointed mess without a good comic setup, decent comic characters or good jokes. Not at all sure who it's aimed at - too puerile for a mature audience and not savvy enough or well-enough observed for young adults. Cast didn't have much to offer and story-line was dull and unfunny with a poor pay-off. Won't be tuning in again.

The First Team

Definitely written for a knowing football fan audience, I think this was very funny and even more so if you are football fan.

Great comic acting, great timing, great script.

Cannot understand all the people giving this a 1/10. Is it as good as the inbetweeners? Of course not! This has some real funny bits, good characters and based around football. What more is there to like?

I actually really enjoyed this show. Ok it's basically the same formula as The Inbetweeners but transposed to the context of a football club. You have the same basic characters - the fish out of water geek, mr thinks he's more attractive than he is, mr nice but dim. Had it's share of cringeworthy moments but a high number of laugh out loud moments too. It's the kind of show that could improve further as it finds its feet in future seasons or could just fizzle and run out of ideas. Let's hope season 2 comes along and delivers

First 2 episodes are utter drivel, but gets better and funnier. Last episode takes a turn for the weird though. Would watch if they make a second season.
