Detentionaire (2011–2014)
8/10
Strangely familiar...

If you can look past the racial stereotypes, this show really is worth a watch (thank you Diamondbolt).

Seriously, the episodes are so well written that an older audience can enjoy the show too, despite it being aimed towards a younger demographic.

Each backdrop is so oddly gorgeous to look at that I honestly find myself taking in the subtle details. The school and its surrounding locations have a slight sepia filter over them, perfectly conveying the overwhelming boredom that lingers in the air of a real school environment.

If I'd found this show sooner, it's the sort of thing my edgy thirteen year-old self would have clicked with, having been a regular attendee of detentions. If only they were really so thrilling.
