Or, in terms of ratings out of 10, I would say 6-6-6-6-8-7. The first four episodes are slickly made but uncreative and predictable; the people you expect to be good are good and the people you expect to be bad are bad. Things get more interesting in the last two episodes, when the heroine doesn't know who she can trust anymore, and the focus switches to Rachel Hurd-Wood, who emerges as the real star of the show (she outacts, as well as outlooks, the rest of the cast). On the whole, the story could have been told in a two-hour movie - there wasn't really a need for six 45-minute episodes. A "take it or leave it" kind of show - no harm done either way.

One of the worst shows I have seen.This doesn't make any sense at all. The writers seemed to have tried creating a dark, dramatic drama but came up producing a long series about depressed people drinking and just having sex.The characters are boring and their dialogue is usually short and just dragged out. Nothing makes sense. Main character is very annoying and just quiet and walks around. There is no emotion, no energy just nothing. I did hope for some kind of energy or moment that would catch my attention but was left clueless and angry.I really don't understand how the rating is so high as most of my friends regularly watch BBC iPlayer shows and can confirm this is the worst show produced by BBC THREE. I didn't even finish it because it was that bad. This does not portray the youth or university at all. It's just rich snobs being boring and trying to be mysterious. It is horrible.

The series open up into a venture of passage to adulthood. Two childhood friends reinvent their desires and are challenged by their past. Some figures -posing as role models and such- intrigue these two friends. And, in a few episodes, we witness the development of a not so basic but more complex story line, with a thread of problems to be solved. All the while, the show encourages the viewer to reflect on themselves via its story line and most importantly does not lose its simplistic beauty. Youth, drama, crime can rarely be subtly and properly synthesized like this.

Finishing the short but sweet 6 episode season 'Clique', I'm not left feeling deflated! Clique is a drama that is dark, entertaining and quite sexy- whilst not trying to be too philosophical about itself. Watch this show because you enjoy dramas with a thick (and perhaps, unrealistic) plot and good looking actors who all do a great job. Also, watch this show if you're into nice aesthetics combined with great filming; it does just that.Not too much of a slow burner, but not too fast either, 'Clique' conveys the slow decline of a friendship between two young women as they enter a darker, grown up world at university. With lots of drugs (which I found slightly too much, considering they're meant to be broke students, but hey! It's still a fun watch) and mystery that is actually engaging, this show doesn't disappoint- unless you're not into glossy late- teen shows, then stay away!All in all, an interesting show that pokes at gender roles and feminism in a dark and engaging way- I highly recommend and PLEASE HAVE A SECOND SEASON!
