Boarders

This isn't just. Good series it's bloody brilliant I don't really watch many dramas on bbc but I was going through all my apps looking for something new to watch and found this it has everything romance, drama, thrill and inclusivity without running it down your throat and shows the different versions of black teens watched all episodes in two days because it has me hooked wish it was 10 episodes in total but they left room for a new season hopefully and the actors are very talented individuals. Honestly well done bbc three.

10s a cross the board also woukd love to know more about each character.

This could have been an interesting show. There are many good actors, and it had potential to develop into something fun. But I don't think the writers knew what they were doing with it.

The story just rambles from one character to another. There are five interesting characters, and they each have their own issues, but none of them get developed very deeply. We just keep jumping around to these unconnected storylines that are fairly unbelievable.

We are supposed to think these characters know each other and are good friends, but we don't have any background to explain that, and they don't really seem to have anything in common other than that they attended the same community center classes.

And then the story seems to follow some of the characters from the school for a while, but then it jumps back to the main characters. Nobody really gets the full story development. Nothing significant really happens.

Waste of talent and time.

I'm nearing the end of episode 3 but I think I get the gist. Quite an entertaining series but I'm not sure if it works entirely. From the start the guys from London are such a mixed bag I'm just not sure how their friendships would have originated and the guys already attending the boarding school are absolute bafoons from the off so you can't take it too seriously. As long as you can over look the above then I think you'll find it mildly amusing and worth investing in on a quiet Sunday lunchtime. That said I think Jaheim (the lead) has got good potential. He carries his character well. And I hated Rupert from the word go which I'm assuming was the actors intentions so good job there too. All in all worth a watch if there's nothing much doing.

Zoomed through the six episodes. Couldn't resist the fun and entertainment. It's one of those love hate dramas. Doubt there will be not much middle ground in the reviews. The chairperson of the governors Carol is wonderfully slimey played by Niky Wardley. Bernard the hard pressed headmaster is her equal but somehow scores a few more goodie points. Josh Teduku as Jaheim and Jodie Campbell as Leah must surely go on to far greater things.

One fears the wrath of those pointing to racial stereotypes and endorsement of elitism BUT if one considers it as just light entertainment - it's fab.

Anyway, it was a horrible tasteless picture (you'll know when you see it) and needed to be put on hold for bonfire night. Just enjoy it !

A Captivating Series That Will Leave You Yearning for More I devoured all six episodes of this phenomenal series in record time, and I'm still reeling from the experience. With its expertly woven narrative, complex characters, and relentless pacing, this show has secured a spot on my list of all-time favorites.

From the opening scene, I was hooked. The series masterfully crafts a world that's both familiar and yet, utterly unique. The storytelling is intelligent, layered, and expertly paced, making it impossible to predict what's lurking around the corner.

*Complex Characters and Moral Ambiguity* One of the standout features of this series is its cast of complex, multidimensional characters. Each individual is meticulously crafted, with their own distinct voice, backstory, and motivations. The characters exist in a gray area, where right and wrong are subjective, making it challenging to distinguish between heroes and villains.

This moral ambiguity adds depth to the narrative, encouraging viewers to question their own values and allegiances. As the story unfolds, characters evolve, revealing hidden facets and surprising alliances. The character development is nothing short of remarkable, making it effortless to become invested in their journeys.

*Atmosphere and World-Building* The series boasts an immersive atmosphere, transporting viewers to a richly detailed world that's both captivating and unsettling. The production design, cinematography, and soundscapes all contribute to an immersive experience, drawing you deeper into the narrative.

*Themes and Social Commentary* Beneath its surface-level entertainment, the series tackles thought-provoking themes and social commentary. It confronts issues like power dynamics, corruption, and personal identity, sparking reflection and introspection.

*Conclusion* In conclusion, this series is an absolute must-watch. With its addictive storytelling, complex characters, and immersive world-building, it's an experience you won't soon forget. If you're looking for a show that will captivate, provoke, and inspire, look no further.

The wait for Season 2 is already excruciating, but I'm confident it will be worth it. Until then, I'll be re-watching the first season, uncovering hidden nuances and appreciating the craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece.

Do yourself a favor and dive into this incredible series. Trust me, you won't regret it.
