Ackley Bridge

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.

Good show until series 3. some stupid storyline but enjoyable

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!

Bro, this made me feel a lot of stuff, it tackles big issues in a brilliant way, the comedy in it is timed perfectly and the more serious parts are done fantastically. Having only left school in the U.K. 7 years ago I found I could relate to the characters in this more so than Waterloo road, it's a really good representation of the U.K. secondary education Environment and particularly the One I was in. A little more realistic than Waterloo road as well.

Also I love Mrs Paracher and want to be related to her.

The first 3 seasons are fantastic! After that, the show goes downhill. The new characters are wooden and boring and the old characters just aren't likable anymore. Seasons one to three are funny, entertaining and real. The characters are relatable and fun and the storylines are interesting. Seasons four and five just aren't. The once likeable characters seem to have changed and become miserable and boring. The storylines are all based around Fizza and Kayla who do nothing but whine and moan and compete for the attentions of a lad who has absolutely zero personality. Honestly, when you've finished season three, turn it off.
