75The Inbetweeners is a companion to the network's hit Awkward. And equally funny. [27 Aug 2012, p.48]
-
70The Inbetweeners has a refreshing sincerity.
-
63The Inbetweeners delivers moments of humor equal to all those other shows--mostly from the physical comedy--but overall it's too wimpy to make its own mark.
-
58The Inbetweeners seems to be experiencing the growing pains of its principal characters. A better start would have been preferable, but at least the show's weekly slings and arrows are pointing upward.
-
50The series still can't get liftoff because it seems like a limp copy.
-
40Without the underpinning of droll characters who make you feel their pain, this Inbetweeners is mostly predictable and vulgar.
