    ¡arriba, arriba! ¡andale, andale!


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

    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.

    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...

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

    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!

    Google map link to Woodland Villas in Birr
    Yeah some out by Clogherhead in Louth too, where that chap got shot.

    Season 1 was brilliant..

    On ep 2 season 2 now..

    They really are overdoing the vulgarity in it...it’s odd.

    Maybe it will tone down, but it’s ridiculously forced so far. Not at all working..

    I have seen the first 3 of season 2.
    I totally disagree, incredibly sweet don't mind the odd bit of vulgarity :), ep3 was the best so far for me, the girl who plays Aimee is excellent
    Step up from season 1 for me and I loved the first season.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,952 ✭✭✭Degag


    Really good but not quite as good as S1 imo. Just want Otis and Maeve to get together:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 31,749 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    I am up to episode 7 now of season 2.
    It's brilliant imo, love that the supporting characters are getting some more to do.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,387 ✭✭✭Cina


    Still good fun but I don't like how the main premise of the show (the clinic) took such a backseat, made it more of a typical teen comedy/drama as a result. It didn't feel as fresh to me as season one.

    Also the ending:
    was a big let down. Essentially a re-hash of the first series ending. Just get on with it!

    Ya I thought it was good fun but this season story wise went nowhere, like when season 3 starts if you went from S1 into it S3 I doubt you feel you missed a whole series

    Yeah I hated the ending especially what
    Isaac did by erasing the voicemail
    The new side characters were great and loved that
    they didn't do a cliche relationship between Viv and Jackson
    . I don't think the clinic really is the premise of the show , it's more about the kids getting answers/solutions to their sexual issues which as we saw
    Jean helped with a lot of issues this season. I can't see the clinic coming back due it not being a secret anymore but I can see Jean maybe have more involvement in the sex education in the school

    Going by the release for last two seasons, we probably won't get Season 3 until this time next year. Season 2 was filmed between May and September last year.

    I really enjoyed this.
    It covers so many aspects of teen, and indeed adult relationships.

    Anne Marie Duff is a great addition as Maeve's mother.
    Actually, all of the casting is spot on.
    The school principal and Adam could pass for real life father and son.

    Looking forward to a return next year.
