I viewed this with an open mind. It does seem that most people are comparing it unfavourably with The Inbetweeners. This is unfair as it a different style of show. Where The Inbetweeners was below the belt crude at times, The First Team is more gentle humour with a splash of the crude thrown in.
The three main characters are likeable and really work well together. The supporting cast are also excellent. The storylines and jokes are decent enough, some are more slight chuckle then belly laughs but there are some really funny moments. Jack McMullen pulls of shy and awkward brilliantly.
If you only watched the first episode or even a few minutes then I would suggest giving it a real chance as it gets better over the 6 episodes. It isn't easy to launch a new comedy. Even The Inbetweeners wasn't an immediate hit.
I hope it gets a second series.
