When I first started watching 'The Class', I didn't connect with all the characters straight away. As the season progressed and the characters opened up, it didn't take long for them to grow on me.
As a fan of 'Friends', I can't say that this matches it completely but I have to say it comes close. The jokes are rather similar, using a lot of sarcasm along the way, and a few scenes have made me laugh out loud. However, as you may expect, some of the gags were rather a cliché and obvious. I like the lack of music during scene changes, it makes the show feel less like the usual US sitcom and makes a change from 'Friends'. The laughter track lets it down a little although some scenes would appear quite empty without it.
My personal favourite has to be Richie Velch. He has made me laugh the most and I enjoy his sarcasm, in some ways he is like Chandler from 'Friends'. However, I managed to find a connection with all of the characters and felt for them when things didn't go quite the way they wanted.
Overall, I would recommend 'The Class' to anyone who enjoys a light hearted comedy, it has something for everyone and will make anticipate the next episode. It's not perfect but it deserves at least an 8/10 from me and I really hope it returns for a second season.
