The characters are written so you can relate to them. They start as small groups. Every episode leads to a different story line and more opportunity for the characters to grow and change. The scenery is beautiful and you get a glimpse of the environment. I really hope there is a second season.

Something about a bumbling group of 20 somethings launched out of their depth is endlessly watchable, and gap year is no exception. The shared experience of any grad traveling abroad is represented with a precise clarity and honesty, doubled by the casts shared journey in making this show which leads to a fantastic joy captured on screen. The characters you will absolutely hate, but still pray to god each episode that they will survive for the rest of the trip, it's a terribly fun watch in keeping with basden's other projects. Tim key is a real highlight, wish it got picked up for a second season.

The characters are great, felt so relatable and the story is different each episode, hope there is a season two. It kept me laughing through all 8 episodes , Instead of getting stale like a lot of different television series I feel as though it improved as the series progressed and after watching I always felt happier the amazing locations and stories along with it paired together to make an amazing new series.

This show was, although predictable at points, engaging and fun to watch. The characters really do show development. As the show continues on you feel as though you are one of this merry band of travelers going through these adventures with them. Some bits of the show are a touch unrealistic but let's be real all TV is unrealistic in some aspect. I loved the show and cannot wait for the next season! (please, please don't get canceled)

Brilliant characters with depth and very real (particulary Greg played by Tim Key), great ideas and rich story(ies), tons of fun, and fantastic overall atmosphere. A real joy to watch.
