I have seen all of the episodes so far and can't think of anything decent about this show.
In my opinion the show doesn't know what it wants to be, on the one hand it is a word for word recreation of an already popular show (which is lazy), on the other hand, the newly created scenes are far fetched and poorly executed. Neither works fpr several reasons. Firstly, the actors are very poor - the UK one worked because the characters were created around the actors strengths. Also in the UK the characters are based on most 17 year old boys which is easier for the actors to relate to, in this version the characters are absurd caricatures.
Secondly, the story lines are far fetched and highly contrived, whereas in the original, though exaggerated, are realistic.
As far as positives, Simon comes out OK, unlike the creepy pe@d0phi1e Jay, dull and stoned Neil, and nervous, robotic, will. Also the women are better looking, although again the cast of the original represent popular sixth-formers more closely.
Overall interesting to see but a terrible show. Avoid!
