Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I felt that the series kept me cringing for more of the lovable characters and their stories episode after episode.Also what I liked is that it was close to reality with everyone not getting what they deserved in the end, the makers dared to do something different than cliches.

Maybe it's because I cannot watch this at home (the local broadcasters won't even think about bringing this in as it is in blatant violation of broadcast rules here), but I enjoy this show immensely. University life in the UK is definitely different from what I experienced in Singapore and Australia.I suppose the show isn't supposed to be a general view of undergraduate life in the UK, but this particular group of undergraduates are interesting enough to watch over 3 seasons now.Kingsley and JP are the 2 protagonists of the series. The latter has a seemingly lasseiz-faire attitude to life yet displays an endearing vulnerability at times. Kingsley initially appears to be a homeboy stepping out into the world for the first time, but in time becomes a man of his own.The other characters support the series well enough. There is the studious know-it-all who tries not to look down on everyone (Oregon), the insecure one who occasionally manages to break through the stereotype (Howard), the hippie-wannabe (Vod) and the girlfriend (sorry, that's the way I keep seeing her - Josie).I enjoy following the characters around their simple-on-the-outside-but- complex-on-the-inside lives, the interactions between the housemates, the witty banter, the music and the score. Even the rough language is enjoyable most of the time.Most of the stories are interesting enough, although, as can be expected from any recurring series, there are some dud episodes. But all in all, it still entertains, though I do sometimes wonder if British undergraduates really do behave in this way.

I think that this is a really good show and don't understand the bad reviews. I think that they are all good, funny characters and also it's not full of horrible violence and toilet humour that you get in a lot of shows these days. I especially like Jack Whitehall's character -J.P.. Even though I can't stand his stand up. The other actors are suited to there parts and I quite like the mix of odd personalities. Another character I like is Prof. Shales. I'm happy a 2nd series is coming out as it makes a change from all the tripe on t.v. I think everyone should watch this show as it is quite good and contains good characters and story lines.

I saw the trailer for this comedy series, and even with a stand up comedian who I enjoy acting for the first time I was a bit apprehensive, but then I heard more about it, including it being about university students, and coincidentally my brother was starting university, so I gave it a chance, and I stuck with it. From the creators of Peep Show, basically the series revolves around a group of six freshers, i.e. first year university students, who live together in their off campus home and attend Manchester Medlock University. These six are sweet natured dentistry student Josie (Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging's Kimberley Nixon), streetwise and hard living literature student Violet aka 'Vod' (Zawe Ashton), kind hearted and awkward geology/drama student Kingsley (The Inbetweeners' Joe Thomas), occasionally egotistical and self-proclaimed top man Jonathan aka J.P. geology student (Jack Whitehall), Scottish often socially inept and highly work focused non fresher geology student Howard (Greg McHugh), good natured and anxious but appearing cool literature student Melissa aka Oregon (Charlotte Ritchie). All entering adulthood they are all discovering more about each other and themselves, including how the wrong decisions can pan out, having sexual experiences with possibly the wrong people, taking drugs and drinking a lot, not paying much attention to their education, and much more besides that to anyone would be appalling behaviour. Also starring Tony Gardner as Professor Tony Shales, Peep Show's Robert Webb as Dan, Adam Gillen as Brian, Submarine's Gemma Chan as Ruth, Jack Fox as Ralph, Sugar Rush's Sara Stewart as Jean Shales, Hollyoaks' Emma Rigby as Rachel and Rob Beckett as Mike. The six lead stars, especially Whitehall, Ashton, Thomas and Nixon, are all great at being both dramatic and funny, the jokes throughout the series whether dialogue or physical/slapstick are all well written and performed, it is certainly a very watchable and enjoyable British situation comedy drama. Very good!
