Finally getting better

This comedy's first season was really bad. It seemed like it couldn't even get worse! The acting was quite bad, especially the young actors (Tobias Nierop and Charlie Dagelet) weren't satisfying. Only Ben Hulsman reached the normal level of acting, but he left after the first 10 episodes. Now, in the second season, this show is finally getting better. Some actors and actresses have been replaced and the stories are funnier. If it keeps improving, it might even turn out to be as succesful as it's predecessor "Oppassen!!!", which ran for thirteen years.
