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.
