Ok, being a religious watcher of series one and two i was a bit dubious about the third and the whole new cast.

I watched it all the way through and found it really hard to get on with at first, this is because you expect it to be of similar nature but a whole new cast is hard to "get to know" when you have been so used to the old lot. Once i began knowing who was who and the type of charactors they were i thought it was a real good watch - it also helped that "Effy" was in the first series a few times so i had an idea of what she would be like.

Overal i personally prefer the first two series with the origanal cast as with most things - if there is 3 of the same movies made the first one always tends to be the best.

I wouldnt say go out and buy it but when it is repeated on tv i would give it watch, especially if you havent seen any of the other series.

Its a typical teenage series that i think alot would relate too, they just seemed a lot older than what they were playing
