So, everyone in my college and their cat seems to be addicted to this British drama, so, what the heck, I checked out a couple of episodes and thought that even when it's not my type of stuff and I can hardly relate to the characters, it's quite engaging at times and has a decent amount of comedy and drama.


So, any fans around?

I'll confess that I watched the last season (I think it was the last season. Effie, the skateboard kid, his X-Factor sister, etc). The earlier episodes were hilarious, but they got too angst-ridden toward the end of the season, for me. Still, I watched the whole season.

Yeah, it strikes you the most when you compare, like when I saw the Russian episode compared with Chris' funeral. It's hard to believe it's the same show.

It's just completed its fourth season here, with a cast change for seasons 3 and 4. (Only Effy continued from seasons 1 and 2). There will be a new cast for seasons 5 and 6 (to be broadcast in 2011 and 2012) - they're auditioning now.

Season 4 was quite a bit darker than Season 3. I haven't watched the first two seasons yet but will do soon, as I picked up a DVD box set cheap.
