Britannia High 1x01
Hey, I've already seen that show when it was called Nearly Famous last year! They even used the same "First public showcase"-plot for their pilot.
At least Britannia High has original music (I kinda liked the opening number) and less annoying characters. Plus, Mitch Hewer might have bad hair, but at least he doesn't look as malnourished as in Skins' second series.
On the other hand that music video in the middle of the episode was kinda weird and the plot was more predictable (and unbelievable) than a High School Musical.
So, I'll give it another chance next week but right now I'm kinda underwhelmed.
