I was a little on the fence about watching it at first, but it actually turned out to be a surprisingly fun and touching show. Tbh I was mostly interested in checking it out because of Gillian Anderson, but then I ended up getting more invested in the teen characters instead. The promotion was a bit misleading actually as I got the impression that Gillian and the Otis actor we going to be co-leads, instead it was really mostly a teen-focused drama, and Gillian was more of a supporting player as the snooping mother. It reminded me a lot of Skins actually, although I must say that sixth form was never that scandalous and sex-obsessed when I was at school, some of the sex and nudity was certainly a bit eye-opening!
