Re: Waterloo Road criticisms.recycling the same sort of story lines over and again from series to series.
the teachers spend more time out of lessons chasing the pupils around than in lessons actually teaching.
teachers heavily involved in the pupils lives- this would never happen irl.
Can't think of much else because i haven't watched in a while, as it is basically a huge pile of ****.Last edited by Ham22; 09-11-2011 at 21:34. -

Re: Waterloo Road criticisms.Teachers seem to obsess over 1 or 2 pupils for a week or two while the rest politely keep their problems until it's their turn to be noticed, and then everything happens at once for that one person.

Re: Waterloo Road criticisms.i quite like the show but it annoys me that you watch a character for 5 years or so then they disappear without any explanation of where they went, or what happened to them. It alaso doesnt follow the correct school system, apply to uni in year 12, study 4 subjects at AS, go to uni after results in year 13 etc, they seem to just disappear mid year and they've gone to uni.

Re: Waterloo Road criticisms.oh and this too, this really annoys me, like how lindsay got arrested, then we find out 2 years later she went to prison and is being released.(Original post by SWBL)
Events that happened in the previous episodes are just forgotten and never mentioned again. -

Re: Waterloo Road criticisms.- No original story lines
- Acting is crap to say the least
- Storylines are 'dropped' in the middle/soon forgotten about
- It has a touch of the ERs - that is, something INCREDIBLY serious is happening every two minutes
- Nowhere near realistic
- Most of the teachers are borderline negligent/paedophilic/retarded
- Far too much convolution of teacher/pupil boundaries
- It's still on TV. -

Re: Waterloo Road criticisms.1) It's very unrealistic and therefore patronising. Not every teen is an idiot.
2) There is no good character. By that I mean there is no person that if you knew them in real life, you would respect them. Every character is an idiot, nobody is wise. Except perhaps for that grumpy witty old man teacher, who's stupid sometimes, genius in other situations. The characters are just so terrible really... -

Re: Waterloo Road criticisms.The teachers are heavily involved in the students lives.
+Head master giving student painkillers which a doctor probz prescribed to him.
+Acting is poor.
+Very unrealistic, to much action not enough exclusion after terrible acts.
+Teachers spend most of there time chasing students who go off site (happens on average once every 2-3 episodes.
+Story line SUC.KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKS, certainly no consistency. They tend not to leave allot of cliff hangers, so there pretty much a new story every episode.
