Tony is the self-appointed head of his small clique of friends in this new UK teen dramady. In the pilot episode he makes it his task to get his chum, Sid, laid at a party before his 18th birthday. Things don't go nearly as planned. After viewing this premiere I found myself likening the show as kind of "My So-Called Life" meets "Degrassi" with tits and cuss words. I was hooked though and would continue to watch the series, even though all the characters are a tad on the stereotypical side thus far.

My Grade: B+
