An amazing premise, and at least one really tremendous laugh each episode. The writers have a gift for cold opens. But the characters ring false as often as true, with school plots that are as dumb (or dumber) than those in previous generations of teen sex comedies. I feel characters straining to have more than two dimensions, but aside from our three teen leads, no one does (including the mother, which was a real disappointment). It sometimes makes sense that comedic characters learn nothing, but when I see this in a show about education and growing up, I question the point of the premise.
...admittedly, there's a good chance I'll still watch the second season, because the show's high points are very high. But I hope the writers get their act together, let their characters be intelligent, and allow the natural hilarity of the situation do most of the work.
