Don't mind the use of the word "surprisingly" in the title, the cast and the creators of the show are very unsurprisingly funny and good in giving us a really, I would even say, unique show. The reason why this is surprising to me is that the first two episodes I found really not to my liking and they seemed to really drag on. The plot felt like been-there-seen-that. The start really was slow to this show, but the pace picks up rather nicely and the plot starts to thread out in surprising ways while continually getting funnier and quirkier. The last 6 episodes of the first season I really binged, I couldn't stop after the 3rd episode and it seemed like there was a switch which was turned on after this.
I can't say how much I look forward to the next season which sees us outside the school environment and in New York for a real struggle in politics. It really seems to me like this whole season was very much a set-up for what is to come next, so if you are like me and are doubtful after the first episode or two, whether to watch the whole 1st season, then please do give the show a chance, it is so worth it by the end.
