Some Girls

Its probably one of the best comedies on BBC 3. Its funny, and sweet and real enough. Its not gritty or gross just fun and you don't get that often enough. Very likeable characters despite their backwards phrasing. It is like being back in 2012 instantly and I enjoyed being in my childhood again.

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

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

I hate how some are criticising the blonde girl so much. Loads of girls are like this, but it doesn't make them bad people. It also annoys me ow some people find men sleeping around funny but when it's a girl they call her names! I thought the acting was excellent. I went and researched the girls' ages in real life, the oldest being 30! I found that astonishing as they are so believable as young girls. It's a comedy sitcom, not the next Shakespeare. Laugh and enjoy.

I guess we are all different in our tastes, and I for one don't know the comedy rules as many of the people who write on here do.. Is it like inbetweeners? Not really and its definitely not like skins. It has its own atmosphere, perhaps I would say that inbetweeners was more bizarre with its scenes which led to laughing so much you can't breath but on the laughter scale this is laugh out loud, I particular love the Ozzy Teacher and I think the acting of everyone is simply brilliant. All in all with any TV series you have to grow to love the characters, they are the integral part of the process that keeps watchers coming back and that's why the shows mentioned above and others like Gavin and Stacy become so popular. I gave it 10 out of 10 because I have enjoyed every single episode there is always something new and exciting and its funny all the way through as well, which is important for a comedy and its not too silly like a bad education, its believable comedy and I for one enjoy dry humour the best, not stupid stunts and over the top jokes.
