Trying not to judge something I haven't seen, I watched the first episode of the US Inbetweeners. Honestly, it wasn't as bad as the trailer made it seem. I'd still say just watch the UK version and not bother with the US one, but I'm not just going to bury my head in the sand and not acknowledge its existence like I planned. My only issues are that the people running it don't seem to get some of the characters, or at least theyre making them different this time around. Will and Simon are essentially carbon copies, but Jay is just a bit of a dickhead now, Neil's gone from being a bit dense to someone who might need real help, and Will's mum (while still fit) doesn't seem anywhere near insincere enough.
The first episode was pretty much play-for play the second episode of the original, with 2 minutes of exposition at the start to cover why Will was there and whatever. They've got 12 episodes in the season though, so even if they do just rehash existing episodes, they're going to have to think of new material pretty fast if the show gets a second series.
For a sense of perspective: If you've seen the pilot for the US IT Crowd with Joel McHale, the Inbetweeners is nowhere near as bad as that.

I feel like if the pilot is a good indicator of what the show will be like, this could go up there with Mad Men and The Wire as one of my favourites. Anyone here dislike it? |
I think only a moron can dislike that show. It is that good. |
Yeah it's really good, I actually couldn't contain myself sometimes and started crying, not many shows do that. Started Walking Dead few days ago. Pretty good too, although there is not much to do with a post-apocalyptic world, event-wise. This post has been edited by Toup on Friday, Sep 7 2012, 23:40
