Touches You

Too much of everything

Good movie but grossly overrated

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The biggest problem with this show is that it tries WAY too hard to both funny and hip for the kids.Jack Whitehall is an okay actor, but he tries so hard to humiliate himself to get a cheap laugh. To be honest, some of his jokes work, others don't.The episode where he asks a farmer "Do all meerkats come from Russia?" is just so cringeworthy.The students are stereotypes that we have seen in other High School comedies. We have the gay kid, the smart Asian one, the slut, the tough kid and the wannabe rapper.The show also suffers from really annoying dubstep music, again trying too hard to be cool for the target audience. Also, the editing......... dear God, the EDITING! It looks like a child edited this. Jokes have to work because of the timing, but when you have sudden jump cuts between comedic scenes, it doesn't work.But the number one thing I hate about this show is Fraser.I HATE THIS CHARACTER WITH A PASSION!I get that the joke is that he tries too hard to be cool and fails everytime, but he is just not funny. You can't have a character suddenly shouting "REWIND!" and "TOP BANTER!" and expect it to be funny. Its like a child tugging at his or her's parents clothes and saying "Look at me!"This show is like Jack Whitehall's stand up; Only funny in small doses.

OK, its crass, juvenile, and has spectacularly non-PC dialogue. But it is pure genius IMHO. Banter level indeed reaches stratospheric levels, and it is recommended to download subtitles to follow all slang spoken at breakneck speed. I have recently re-viewed some episodes and was rolling on the floor laughing. Here is a one-liner quote, one of a thousand of the surreal dialogue. When asked to ask a question during a visit to the "Petting Zoo and Ink museum" here is what Joe comes with: "Would you rather be a boy with a dog's head or a dog with a boys head?" following Rem-dogs rather non-PC one: "How come you can call dogs bitches, but not bitches bitches?" And BTW I'm no dumb teenager myself having recently entered my sixth decade. I think this has not enough cult following as it should ...

Jack Whitehall as a school teacher, and a really funny school teacher, that is why it's called "Bad Education" I guess. Jack has this posh accent and he cracks silly funny jokes and the story in every episode is funny. Jack having a crush over Miss Gulliver, who is her colleague. Miss Gulliver is pretty and funny by the way. Students are fun too. Especially the character of Joe, Joe is cute and Joe's chemistry with Jack, will surely make you laugh even more. This show might take you back to the school and you'll miss your school memories and the class fun and you might start wishing your school teachers were Miss Gulliver and Jack. I wished that Miss Gulliver and Jack were my teachers. I wished they created more seasons and more episodes. I wished It was a never ending show. Although non of my wish came true but still I watched this show many times over and over again. And I bet you guys would watch it over and over again too. Jack Whitehall deserves the credit to make shows really fun and he is the co-writer too. this show makes me say "Thank You Jack Whitehall!"

Don't be fooled by the title, Bad Education is everything but bad. The characters (although somewhat cliché) are all lovable and in many ways relate-able. An example would be the flamboyantly eccentric Stephen (or indeed his alter-ego Stephanie). The show takes place in a typical British secondary school filled with dodgy teachers, and even dodgier pupils. All the funny scenarios and wacky situations will make you think "(sigh) if only my school was really this funny"Although, it may not quite be enough to rival that of the Inbetweeners, this school-based sitcom is British comedy gold. Whether it be with Headteacher Frasers "banter" or with Alfie's embarrassing memories, there's plenty to keep you giggling.
