Bad Education (2012–2024)
8/10
Hilarious

Bad Education follows Alfie Wickers, an infantile young teacher who deserves, and gets, very little respect from those around him. He has a class of assorted children, mostly more confident and adult than he is. Banter ensues. The end.

Fundamentally humor is subjective so you may not agree, but I found Bad Education hilarious. Great pace of jokes, funny situations and characters, just worked really well for me.

Although obviously the characters and situations are exaggerated I think the writing really captured a lot of 'truth' in the writing, and various characters and situations really reminded me of people I knew at school and things that really happened (if turned up to 11).

It's a shame how few episodes there are and I wish we got a bit more time to get to know some of the kids a bit better, but then the brevity does mean that it never outstayed its welcome. Seasons 1 and 2 are my favourite, with the pacing and style changing a little bit on season 3 - still entertaining but just didn't work quite as well for me.

You'll probably be able to tell whether you'll enjoy this series about half way through the first episode. If you're enjoying it then you'll probably enjoy all the other episodes too. If not then it's probably not worth watching any further.
