Entertainment WeeklyJessica Shaw

He's got a briefcase, a superhot mom, and three new buddies in social purgatory. Definite cult-show potential.

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen

It's occasionally randy and sophomoric, but there are also some smarts and heart mixed in.

The New York TimesNeil Genzlinger

Little is off limits in terms of subject matter either; in two of the first three episodes people with disabilities are the focus of pivotal jokes. But it’s a mark of the show’s intelligence that in both cases it is Will who ends up humiliated.

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert

It’s a coming of age comedy that’s raunchy and sophomoric, but, as is typical with Apatow products, it’s also character-based and at times kind of touching.

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd

It is, like much British comedy, unabashedly vulgar where its American cousins are relatively coy, an attitude that feels alternately trying and refreshingly healthy. You will recall that the Puritans brought their neuroses here. The kids, or rather the young adults playing the kids, are all very good.

VarietyBrian Lowry

The show has already received considerable acclaim in the U.K. (including the 2008 British Comedy Award), a level of praise that seems a bit generous; still, in the long continuum of teen comedies, "Inbetweeners" does qualitatively register toward the high end of the scale.

Under The RadarLily Moayeri

Every cheap sexual innuedndo, obvious adolscent pun, and cliched puerile situation is exploited here. [Holiday 2009, p.86]

This show is bloody brilliant ! Makes me glad I'm done with this awkward phase of life.

Nathaniel D. gave it a10:
A brilliant show that managed to tear me from my love of the Peep Show. A great example of crude British humour at its best. "Briefcase wanker!"

Greg S. gave it a10:
Vulgar in a way that is very smart, very funny.

Craig M. gave it a10:
One of the funniest shows you'll watch this year.
