Didn't this used to be a serious show?


Maybe its just me but wasn't Waterloo Road quite dark and more realistic at one point. Now it just seems quite silly. No offence to people who like it.

I have always thought this show was too ridiculous! In real life this school would be shut down lol

It's been silly for as long as I can remember, with dark moments, although I agree the storylines used to be more realistic, yeah.

It may be silly,but it is still entertaining and the story lines have improved since a few years back with that stupid finly love suicide bid on the beach!

Ironically, it's gotten darker in places but sillier

It used to be so much better - series 1-4 (well part of 4) were watchable and enjoyable. Since 4 it has gone downhill. The last 2 series - I stopped watching. I watched the 2 death scenes of original characters and wont watch any more now.
It had dark moments in the past, but had much more of a believable story. It was always a failing school with pupil and teacher problems but what school has ever moved location and taken staff and pupils with the move? The whole programme should have ended when they moved location
