I'd never heard of this series until I recently found it on a streaming service. Based on the cast list, I'd expected to be in for somewhat of a treat.
How wrong I was,
It's supposedly set in a young offenders institute, but all of the prisoners are easily in their 30s. All of the characters seem very underdeveloped, almost 2 dimensional. Whilst I appreciate that comedy doesn't require a set up and a punchline, I didn't find any reason to feel even slightly amused, let alone feel the need to laugh.
Clearly this show was commissioned based on the success of the series "Plebs", it definitely shares some of the same DNA, yet Crims manages to not have any of the charm or humour.
