"The programme has the witty absurdity of Arrested Development, the garish characters of Kath & Kim and the cringe-making behaviour of The Office. It's a real Marmite offering - you'll either love it or you'll hate it. I happened to love it." - Mirror.co.uk

"The attention to detail in this show makes it a real joy to watch, even if you don't laugh out loud constantly. It's packed with quotes that could easily become classics, and, most important of all, it has a talented comedian at the helm who clearly has a real vision for what he wants his show to be." - TV Scoop

"Reviewing the opening episode last week, my colleague Andrew Billen noted that we don't necessarily gain much from seeing Chris Lilley, the comic behind it, play all three main parts. This is a fair point, but it is undeniable that he plays them all very well. I think Jonah, the sullen Polynesian, is turning out to be my favourite. They are all ghastly, but only Jonah has flashes of heart." - Times Online

"Week four of the blisteringly funny mock-doc (think The Office on an exchange visit with Home and Away) presents more spot-on satire of school life. Chris Lilley plays all three of the show's stars - bitchy schoolgirl Ja'mie, Tongan delinquent Jonah and monumentally insensitive drama teacher Mr G." - Mirror.co.uk
