    She's our dick!

    A great ending to a great first season, love the characters and the storyline. A great sense of humor and 90s vibes, living for the soundtrack.

    BEST BRITISH COMEDY SERIES IN AWHILE!!

    What else to say. this show has everything. great comedy and characters. and even the drama is quite good.

    Quite a Moving Presentation

    Erin takes over the school newspaper when the previous girl is ill. She is ostracized because the others say she is being insensitive to the previous girl. She is deserted by her staff and has to do the whole thing with her friends. She takes an anonymous letter from a lesbian girl, dealing with her tribulations, and publishes it because she has no material. It causes a huge commotion. I am leaving out Orla's possible Olympic aspirations in step aerobics. And a really funny ending at a talent show. The issues are so sad in many ways, but the girls keep their upper lips as stiff as possible. A great conclusion to the first season.
