I watched some of this show for the strong points, as I generally like British comedies. Greg Davies as headmaster was good, as usual. I liked the character of Will from the first scenes, and the interaction of the different friends at that age, but it was just too much after awhile with the non-stop gross humor and one-sided focus of the boys, every scene had something to do with trying to get any female to have sex or masturbation. The way they talked in general and especially about Will's mother was really disgusting, and then a low point was the scene at the old folks home. You had to laugh at times just because it was just so gross what was being said or done but it was too much for me, and the characters had no depth and nothing is developed as far as their other interests or challenges. The jokes also were based a lot on making fun of people being old, disabled, fat, or homosexual etc. Which I found offensive. I had to stop watching. I guess this kind of really crude humor appeals to many people, because the show was highly rated as British comedy of the year.
