Just wondering if anyone else watching this?
First episode was excellent, funny and snappy, hopefully rest is as good.

Great, looking forward to it already. Really surprised myself by how much I enjoyed the first series.

There are people living in static caravan parks full time in Ireland as well, I know someone who lived in Woodland Villas in Birr for about 15 years. Was very damp as I recall!

Yeah some out by Clogherhead in Louth too, where that chap got shot.

Some teasers for season 2

The Black Oil

Also Otis telling his Ma to use a thesaurus. :pac:

The Black Oil

Ah man, that penultimate episode had some heartbreaking moments. Very enjoyable show, one of the better Netflix efforts out there.

The Black Oil

5 episodes in, really enjoying it. Shows how that age of life can be quite bruising, whilst not taking itself ultra seriously. Poor Otis gets into some interesting situations...

Gekko

Enjoyed this a few weeks back

According to the credits it was filmed in Wales

The whole show is a tribute to John Hughes’ teenage movies, in particular the breakfast club. Not only the school is American but the houses are either unbelievably opulent or you live in a trailer park. No semi detached houses anywhere.

Otis' friend, lived in a fairly regular-looking (housing estate) house.

Yeah, I forgot about the trailer park, completely non-British. I wonder was it actually shot in the UK?

One of the regulars on the British Gogglebox lives in a caravan park in Hull.

Oh, and we had lockers in school back in the 80s, in Dublin. No pool though.

It’s a caravan park and they have loads of them dotted around the U.K. my brother has one in Lowestoft rented out

Weren't there full time tenants in Broadchurch also?

As for other things...
Lockers in the hallways are common AF
My folks have dozens of medals from my school swim team at home

Rare for a "normal" school to have its own pool but we used to use the Churchfield pool (Cork) when it was still a 25M pool.

With people living there full time? Not Holiday parks now.

But the writing and acting are English. Annoyed me for a while but then I accepted it.

As for the weather, they got lucky in 2018. I wonder how well a sequel will look in a normal grey summer.

Plus Gillian Anderson is hot

5 episodes in, I think it's very funny.

I’m four episodes in to this. I quite like it, there’s some good performances but a minor irritant is how they’ve turned an English school into an American high school, lockers in the hallway, jocks with lettered jackets, band and swim team etc. They’re very different types of schools in reality from anything I’ve ever seen of them.

Is it just to make it relateable for US audiences? Also the weather seems too nice for England.

So much of this - the school name and logo is all American, the look of the school is all American, even Otis's house and his commute to school by bike is all American. How many UK schools have a 50m swimming pool with banked seating?

It doesn't feel British at all.

Still enjoying it though...

For the first 2 episodes I was very... Meh. But the third episode dragged me in, from then on the characters were much more likeable.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Just finished the series. Great stuff - glad to see its already renewed for a second season as there were some decent cliffhangers in there.

I really enjoyed this, so much so that I'm sad it's over and sorry I didn't spread it out over more than three nights. I genuinely didn't see it coming about

Adam being in the closet, I just thought he was a bully with daddy issues. Well of course he's that too, but I wasn't expecting them to throw gay into the mix!

Sugarlumps

Based more towards the teen demographic, couldn't get into this at all.

Stevecw

Finished it yesterday, best thing I've watched in a long time.
Really enjoyable, loved it. Just kept on getting better and every character in it was likeable for different reasons, great to see it's getting a 2nd season.
Watched it all in 2 days, and really hope 2nd series comes along soon!

Sleepy

Finished it last night. Loved it.

Gillian Anderson looks fantastic with the silver hair too!

gibgodsman

Watched the entire season in about 2 days, basically Skins with the tone of Inbetweeners, brilliant show.

Finally finished the last 2 episodes of this show, absolutely loved them. It just got better and better for me.

Hopefully not too long for a second series.

It has been renewed
