Season 1 Review: The first three episodes totally nail it. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryAug 17, 2012
Season 1 Review: it all works--or at least most of it does--in no small part because everyone has known (or God forbid, has been) one of these kids, stupidly initiating school clubs to impress a girl (as Will does in a later episode) or being embarrassed by that horrible-looking starter car cheerfully purchased by dad.

People WeeklyTom GliattoAug 17, 2012
Season 1 Review: The Inbetweeners is a companion to the network's hit Awkward. And equally funny. [27 Aug 2012, p.48]

RedEyeCurt WagnerAug 20, 2012
Season 1 Review: The Inbetweeners delivers moments of humor equal to all those other shows--mostly from the physical comedy--but overall it's too wimpy to make its own mark. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Inbetweeners seems to be experiencing the growing pains of its principal characters. A better start would have been preferable, but at least the show's weekly slings and arrows are pointing upward. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The series still can't get liftoff because it seems like a limp copy. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerAug 20, 2012
Season 1 Review: Without the underpinning of droll characters who make you feel their pain, this Inbetweeners is mostly predictable and vulgar. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandAug 17, 2012
Season 1 Review: It's really sad to see such a great show dumbed down to this extent, and with the apparent cooperation of the original show's creators, Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, who serve as executive producers for the American travesty. Read full review
