Promising start for the first 3 episodes. It's very quick to tick what's fast becoming cliche TV character boxes - characters who are gay; strong female leads; disabled... tick tick tick. it's gonna have to work hard to avoid 'monster of the week' syndrome, but it's quite funny and the 'teacher' character is excellent.
The Scribbler Oct 2016 12:25pm, 30 Oct 2016 3,833 posts	0 The Scribbler I've watched the first two as I'm a big fan of the writer, Patrick Ness. I'm way off target market for it, but thought it was great - some very funny lines - and yes, the teacher is the best character. The Doctor did a good turn in the first ep.

GordonG Nov 2016 2:14pm, 7 Nov 2016 6,994 posts	0 GordonG interesting, then, that the 3 of us who have seen it are all 'off target' audience-wise but we all enjoyed it! having said that, given the swearing, gore and number of bedroom scenes, what would the target audience be? Deffo not kids who watch DW...
