Jack Whitehall's 'Bad Education' Had An Online Boost Before Last Night's Premiere

Season two of the popular Jack Whitehall comedy, Bad Education, wasn’t your standard affair. The BBC show – having enjoyed a successful first season – debuted its second exclusively on BBC iPlayer before last night’s televisual bow, Digital Spy reports.

Unfortunately, despite the high viewing figures and success online, the critical response has been tepid. “Jack Whitehall's new sitcom feels burdened with the weight of expectation. Following his unexpectedly triumphant performance in Channel 4 student comedy Fresh Meat, there was a hope that Whitehall could turn out to be a performer of considerable comic depth,” write the Telegraph in their review, concluding that he “sadly, has not been fulfilled in this opening episode of Bad Education.”
