Fresh Meat

Zawe ashton! She makes the show. Like others as well. Took me a while to watch. I still have like 4 episodes to go. Love these college shows/ high school. We need more of them!

I think that this is a really good show and don't understand the bad reviews. I think that they are all good, funny characters and also it's not full of horrible violence and toilet humour that you get in a lot of shows these days. I especially like Jack Whitehall's character -J.P.. Even though I can't stand his stand up. The other actors are suited to there parts and I quite like the mix of odd personalities. Another character I like is Prof. Shales. I'm happy a 2nd series is coming out as it makes a change from all the tripe on t.v. I think everyone should watch this show as it is quite good and contains good characters and story lines.

This show reminds me of a much wittier, much dirtier version of Apatow's 'Undeclared'. I found this show from looking into the shows related to The Inbetweeners, which I always found cheesy but extremely watchable. I found out Joe Thomas (Simon Cooper in Inbetweers) was in this college comedy and I became intrigued. Then, I watched a few episodes and I was sold.

This is one of the better college comedy shows that has come around in a while, and considering how deep on the net I had to dig to find out about it, I am sure it is massively under-watched in the U.S. Hopefully it gets up on Netflix or something so it can get some recognition over here.

There are plenty of cliché situations, but these are clichés because they truly do tend to happen to everyone who attends college, whether in the U.S. or the U.K or wherever. I love the unique blending of characters and the filter-less nature of the dialogue. Anyone in college, recently graduated, or seeking some nostalgia should have no problem relating to the relationship drama, the wit, the parties, and the sense of confusion which naturally arise from throwing a bunch of young people into one small area (be it the college on a larger scale, or the house/dorm on a smaller one).

This show is fantastic through and through. I was really pleased when BBC decided to air it in the states and so glad I stumbled across it.

Like many, Joe Thomas drew me to this show. Liked him in the inbetweeners and figured I would in this and I was certainly correct.

This show hits it on the head on every single level. Firstly the production value is super high in this show. The music/audio is great; awesome theme song and equally good incidental music throughout the episodes. The cinematography set and production design is also superb. Long story short; phenomenal production.

This leads us to the actors. Once again, freakin amazing. I was worried Joe Thomas would play the same role as he did in the inbetweeners but the character is unique enough to realize it is not a clone of his old character. He is quite funny in this.

The other actors in the show also do an incredible job. Kimberley Nixon is my new favorite actress. She absolutely kills it in the series (as does her co stars). I really can't speak highly enough about the acting in the show, just give it a watch and see.

The writing is also amazing. Even though I'm an American I can recall so many similar personalities from my time in college here in the states. The posh rich guy, the eccentric girl who dresses completely over the top (Oregon) and the reclusive nerdy guy (mr. Howard maccullum) to name a few.

So in closing I will say that this show is absolutely brilliant in every level. As an American writing this I think I am proof positive it has much international appeal. It is one of the best shows on TV right now and in my opinion the best damn comedy I've seen in years.

It's like a lunar eclipse. Every few years or so everything lines up to create this remarkable event. That event is Fresh Meat.

I warmed to this show immediately. As one of the previous reviewers stated the current comedy show climate is becoming somewhat stagnate. I must admit I am little bit hesitant of getting too attached to this show in fear of it being cancelled. It is not because the content isn't there, it really is well written with some great characters. It's extremely quirky and enjoyable, but again as the previous reviewer stated it is a slow burner. I'm not sure of the audience base in the UK but being from Australia the exposure for this show as far as I have found has been non existent. I truly can't recommend it enough and think that anyone who enjoys watching skins and the Inbetweeners will not be disappointed as it feels like the result of a mash up of the two somewhat. I will watch it for as long as it is around and only hope that it has a steady run!! Give it a go!
