Wait until you get to the second episode set in the school. It's like one of those Mitchell & Webb sketches where the writers can't be bothered to do any research. Great series overall, but they wanted to paint schools in a certain light and didn't let reality get in the way.

One of my favourite sketches!

We watched it over four nights. Thought the first episode was brilliant and loved the filming style, but we didn't think the other three matched the first. The third episode, basically the two-hander between the shrink and the boy was very well acted, but a bit, well, boring, and the fourth episode was poor with the highlight being a trip to B and Q.

I appreciate others thought it was brilliant and it's all about opinions, but if you haven't seen it I wouldn't worry too much.
