British Comedy Guide, 2nd October 2017The mix of sarky Brits and American girls - and jocks - in this culture clash comedy is a strange one. But as the series concludes, the archly named Beaver Falls has had its moments as the three personable British graduates, Flynn (Samuel Robertson) and the particularly likeable A-Rab (Arsher Ali) and Barry (John Dagleish), complete their season at the American summer camp. The premise also touches on the idea of Brits getting one over on the Yanks (and standing up for the little, or in this case, the fat guys) and that's something we can all cheer for.
Simon Horsford, The Telegraph, 30th August 2011If you have to look at a press release to work out whether what you're watching is supposed to be a comedy or a drama, something has gone seriously wrong somewhere.
Samuel Robertson (Adam Barlow from Corrie), John Dalgleish (Lark Rise to Candleford) and Arsher Ali star as best friends from uni who land what they think is their dream job in the USA as summer camp counsellors for the kids of the West Coast wealthy.
A cross-cultural mash-up of The Inbetweeners and movies like American Pie - British lads trying to have sex in California - isn't the worst idea we've ever heard, but from this first episode, it's more a case of "oh dear" than The OC.
We won't write it off just yet, though. Any show that manages to reference Braveheart and Baywatch in the space of an hour deserves a second chance.
