I have actually started to watch the show like I promised I am now 3 episodes in. /proudIt did really take me a while to get into it because I thought I wasn't feeling it as the first episode wore on. But I have a natural resistance to trying new things so that might have contributed. I'm starting to find Tony more and more attractive which I didn't think I would because he's not really my type at all but he just has something about him :/ Like there are some elements of the show I can do without. Cussing for the sake of cussing, the completely shameless female nudity (are all European shows like that?), the drugs, alcohol, the complete unchasteness of these underage teens. But for the most part it is working for me. I LOVE Cassie. Like I think she's amazing. I find her eating disorder so relatable to me. I actually think I have a mild case of anorexia myself. I eat but I actually hate the process of eating and find it a complete waste of time and hate all things food related. Especially being asked about it. Plus her aloofness, the way she does a catwalk with her fingers on the railing, ~I do that too~! I am just in love with everything about her. Even the fact that she strongly resembles Andrea Boehlke lul. My second favorite character so far is strangely...Sid. Idk I guess I have a soft spot for the loser-ish characters too and how he's always playing second fiddle to Tony and how he can't get any. Not that I think being a virgin is anything to be ashamed of, it actually disgusts me how early kids have sex and then whine about how their lives are fucked up afterwards. I also love the fact that he gets development in all 3 episodes I've seen so far despite none of them being centric to him. Gj editors alol. As for Maxxie um...I got nothing. If I had to give him Edgic so far it would be: Epi1 - UTR1 Epi2 - UTR1 Epi3 - INV I looked at the episode titles and his centric episode isn't until epi6, ew. Also he shares it with someone else in both seasons. What the fuck? Homophobic cunts. :rolleyes: I have been completely inspired to talk in a Brit-ish accent in every PM ever after though. I think when you imagine you are speaking with a British accent everything sounds so much more sophisticated and sexy. Moar to cum in this thread soon. |

Um I wish you started this thread yesterday because I watched the entire first series except ep 9 yesterday for the first time lol. Maxxie SHINES in his episode so much more than Anwar, and he is pretty fab in episode 7 as well. I totes agree about Cassie she is so amazing. ;_; I don't really relate to her anoxeria thing because I'm not anoxeric lol, but I *get* it. I have like the smallest stomach ever or something because I get full so easily. Or after a while I just get bored of eating and would rather do other things, so I decide that I'm full and move on with my day lol. Cassie goddess <3 |

![]() I'm glad you like it, it picks up more as season 1 goes on. And yeah the show is mostly centered around Tony/Sid/Cassie/Michelle so they're going to get focus all the time no matter whose episode it is. And then Chris is like the main comic relief character and Maxxie and Anwar are kind of an UTR fun duo until their episode when Maxxie really comes into his own as a super lovable character and Anwar.....doesn't. I love the like old lady complaints though....I think most British TV is like this which is drawing me to it actually. I love being able to watch things on television that uptight cunts in America would never allow to be broadcast. It feels so freeing and way more real to me. But yeah the partying and drugs and stuff I imagined would never appeal to you alol but the show is way more than that. And yeah I think I told you but I actually graduated from obsessing over Maxxie to obsessing over Tony. It's the charm and charisma Nicholas Hoult puts into it, I think he's a really good actor, and plus I'm a sucker for villains. |

Ugh I was out today buying a 3DS and I already feel soooo behind in my X playing otherwise I would have binge watched some more even though I don't even like binge watching alol ;_; Yes I have the smallest stomach ever. Its actually a pain in the ass when eating out because I can almost NEVER finish a proper meal and then I end up having to get a takeout box every fucking meal. And I just never feel hungry. Or even when I do the feeling passes after a while despite me not having eaten anything. Cassie is such a champ, ilhsm even though in her centric episode she didn't exactly ~conquer~ her problem at all ![]() I like the group of friends for the most part, I think its adorable And Angie is actually a lot younger looking on the show than I imagined lol. Damn this pic of her is kind of tragic. Abigail is just some random skank and Effy is Tony's sister so really Sketch is the only character I haven't seen so I think I have a lot ~more~ to work with now in case people really did wanna get in character.Lul @ lady complaints, I am such a prude, ik The bofo says I think like a shrunken old hag and its probably true but I can't help it. But like one of my favorite shows ever is Sex and the City so there really isn't anything I haven't seen, it just has to be presented in a tasteful manner. And I think this show will do that.

I watched episode 4 last night but didn't feel like logging back on. Chris is so ~complex~ ;_; And maybe its because he spends a good portion of that episode nekkid but I would totally hit it now. And I actually find him attractive looking? And holy hell he's GENDRY? I don't even watch Game of Thrones and I know who Gendry is. Omw ![]() Um yeah. I will watch more tomorrow defo or maybe tonight. Maxxie Episode 4 Edgic: UTR1 ![]() |

ik Chris You're almost to Maxxie's episode and next episode is the segment Maxxie has with the cute devil horns so he gets a scene at least lol. And actually Chris doesn't really do it for me but Gendry does so I guess he aged well. Oh also, each episode has a secret scene that they put up online at the time, and the secret scene for episode 4 features Maxxie so I figured you'd like to see it yes?

Chris being Gendry shocked the shit out of me because I knew who Joe Dempsie was... I just didn't put it together until like midway between seasons 2 and 3 of GoT for some reason. He aged much better than Tony or Maxxie did unfortunately. ![]() I have watched up to s203 now, and Maxxie is like the breakout star of the first 2 season 2 episodes. It's so wonderful. But then he disappears in episode three ew. |

Oh I never buy my own clothes which I know is weird but I apparently flunked out of fashion when I enrolled in gaecademy. :shrug I think Tony looks fine still...just a little different. Maxxie is less c00t now, its true And gj Chris for most improved award. I can't believe 2007 was 6 years ago and I was already 21 then. Disgusting. I miss high school ;_; Does their "college" mean high school? Or actual college? lul.I watched Episode 5 last night. Sid is such a consistent ~star~ Which is strange because I still don't find him attractive in any way. I knew his mom was gonna leave, that was so not original. Tony being ~manipulative and controlling~ was hhhs though. Is Cassie on drugs all the time and that's why she's so spacey? I feel so bad for her being rejected ;_; Sid should take what he can get. Also Cassie is hotter than Michelle? Like um. Or maybe its my inherent bias towards blondes speaking.Epi5 Maxxie Edgic - UTR1. Fascinating. His breakout episode is coming though so I'm fanning in anticipation. |

That episode is one of my favorites, seeing the span of Tony's manipulation across the entire episode was really amazing and how throughout all of that he basically caused Cassie's suicide attempt, although it's really on Sid for being so weak-minded. I think Cassie's way that she is isn't totally drugs, she's obviously really mentally ill and I think that plays a lot into it, but I'm sure she's on shit a lot of the time too even if it's prescribed, they don't really get it into it. And as far as Michelle vs Cassie, I could see it either way. I think personality comes into it, like Michelle tries really hard to be hot and like ooze sex appeal, idk how well it works, but Cassie really doesn't and I don't think she's someone a lot of people would look at in a sexual way if you actually knew her? idk Your breakout episode Anwar's parts are stupid but I really ~feel~ for Maxxie with what happens to him. ![]() And yeah I think high school is college for them since they are clearly in high school, and then I guess university is college? |

So I finally watched Maxxie & Anwar and...ngl, I'm a bit letdown. :/ Like I think Maxxie is really cute and I didn't even pay attention to his ~artistic side~ until this episode...should work that into convos now lul but I kind of was hoping for...more? Like taking that gun was kind of badass if not totally idiotic. That is not how you deal with crazy people. :lol: And Anwar comes off like shit in that episode so lul if that's his only focus. I'll give Maxxie a MORP4 for episode 6, though he might actually be just a 3. Tony trying desperately to do him and him not having any of it *fanz* Way to not be easy

I think he did have some of it though. :/ ![]() But overall I just really sympathized with his character a lot, and I liked like you said how he didn't let Tony walk all over him at first like a lot of other characters do, and I loved when he went off on Anwar about how hypocritical he is, but that's because I had problems with hypocritical religious friends when I was in high school too. He is an angel but he will stand up for himself too. I'd probably put him below Tony, Sid, and Cassie on a ranking but I do love him a lot. |

I am now 3 episodes in. /proud

The bofo says I think like a shrunken old hag and its probably true but I can't help it. But like one of my favorite shows ever is Sex and the City so there really isn't anything I haven't seen, it just has to be presented in a tasteful manner. And I think this show will do that.
