Coming of Age (2007–2011)
1/10
Crude and gross, how did this get made?

OK, BBC 3 is aimed at young people so its programming isn't exactly at the level of Morecambe and Wise, but come on! This is just low even by BBC 3 standards.

So the show is set at a college, and literally every last creative juice was squeezed into jokes about sex. That's it. Now, the Inbetweeners wasn't that dissimilar in plot. But, what this series lacks is wit.

The series was aimed at 19 year olds, who are BBC 3's primary demographic, and the show's creator was nineteen years old when he created it, but the humour is so infantile you'd think he was about seven. On another note, it's like the people behind this series have only heard of college students in myths and story books, and create an unrealistic view of its subject, unlike the aforementioned Inbetweeners, which was at least real when it dealt with its subject. Its audience were probably 12 years old and watching it when they should have been in bed!

The characters are also aggravating, especially the character of DK, who thinks he can rap. Honestly, I couldn't see him wrapping packages at Christmas!
