I came very close to writing it off as a strange series. But I liked the idea of British lads in America - and it did well to stay in the grey zone between the whole "War of Independence/Special Relationship" thing that normally comes with Anglo-American shows like this. Perhaps if they'd focused just a little more on that, it would've been brilliant.
Generally, I liked the premise - a sex-crazed Scottish lad, a computer-obsessed virgin and a heartbroken sleep walker at a camp full of hot girls and jocks, and yet saddled with the most unpopular bunk in the entire camp. On the downside, it did tend to focus a little too much on the social hierarchy of the camp - so much so that as Barry and Kimberly kiss in front of Jake, he resorts to stating outright that jocks are meant to date hot girls. It did, however, amuse me a great deal to see the attractive girls going to prom with the fat kids, leaving the jocks dateless - a role-reversal that definitely deserves an award. But my personal favourite scene was Flynn intimidating Jake and his jock cabin - giving the Americans a taste of having to deal with an angry Glaswegian is pure comedy!
