First banningo drama. Then lengthening the school day and cancelling the prom. Seems that absolute power corrupts absolutEly.

Not gonna say much as I'm in a rush, but I'm a big fan of this show! The acting is great, the concept is very original, and the character development is very good. Exceptional acting from the adults in the teacher roles, and I'm a big fan of Nasreen's mom

Perfect representation of how modern life has ruined the education system.

A bit Mean Girls, Waterloo Road, Teachers. Secondary school drama that seems realer than most about modern Britain, though all the main characters, those with the most interesting, meatiest arcs in the first episode were the white characters, not that unlike Indian Summers, another recent Channel 4 series ostensibly setting out to create a 'balanced', evenly split portrayal of its racially divided milieu. I wonder if this will change in episode 2 or if this is simply how it is going to stay for the entire series...
