Beaver Falls

Three British students get jobs at a teen camp in California. They're well out of their depth but soon learn the ropes. Moreover, it's a paid holiday surrounded by beautiful women, so how bad can it be?

This looked quite low-brow, sort of Porkies at a camp, but ends up being not too bad. There's some decent humour, some mildly interesting adventures and okayish relationship drama. None of it is brilliant, and it is quite lightweight in feel, but it is entertaining enough.

This may be the worst show ive ever watched in my life. Congrats to the creator u reached a new level for me

How ridiculous to say that this show was set in California, when it clearly was filmed in a different country - South Africa to be exact. And it looks like the "campers" ran the gamut from age 10 to about 30. Aside from some decent female eye candy, a really dumb and pointless show.

I think a lot of people wrote this off straight away from the trailer on E4 - I was nearly one of them. It looked like it was going to be a pretty empty drama - British guys going after hot girls; kind of 90210 with a couple of English guys and a Scot. I gave it a go though and stuck with it through the whole series and I'm glad I did. The dynamic between the core three works very nicely and it is fun to watch. There is a lot more humour than I thought and it is so much the better for it. It actually seems to get a little too caught up in its own plot sometimes - the best bits are when the characters are all chatting to each other. Barry stands out particularly as a likable character as the joker of the group. John Dagleish plays him extremely well; it doesn't ever feel like he is acting and he becomes very identifiable with as a result.

Most of the cast are very good - a few characters are a little too stereotypical and thus dull, but overall the show does very well to be genuinely entertaining with enough drama to keep the show moving but enough comedy to make it very fun to watch. I'd say the first episode was the weakest, too, with a little too much emphasis on toilet humour, but after that its far more about the group dynamic and improves from there.

This is a highly understated comedy show that channel 4 stupidly cancelled. It is by far the greatest show. It was hilarious and had was scripted very well with brilliant characters and a unique scenery to other shows. Won't say too much but it is very entertaining and I absolutely loved it. I don't think there will be another show like it, apart from the inbetweeners. But that has its differences too. Will just have to watch the 2 series again and again unfortunately :( I would definitely recommend watching it. Never really get bored of watching it! Barry is great and so are the other characters. It is a complete hit.
