Ja'mie, the character we all loved and quoted many times from Summer Heights High and is back with a spin-off.
"Ja'mie: Private School Girl" Documents Ja'mies life as she finishes her final year of schooling.
I must say I really enjoyed watching the first episode. Ja'mie's comments, critiques, insults, and melt downs are featured throughout the whole episode and I hope the whole series can maintain this. Basically it is exactly like a little "skit" we see from time to time on Summer Heights High except compiled into one whole episode with all attention on her (like it's never been that way)
I base my score on this episode not from a media perspective but more on the character as it is a spin-off. I must say it seems like nothing has changed since the end of Summer Heights High character wise; it's just escalated to another level.
My expectations were met with this episode. The character remains like we got to know her, but with majority of screen time based on Ja'mie, it's a lot better. I hope to see in the future of the series Ja'mie visiting or contacting the friends she made at Summer Heights High and totally slam them off as she does with her old friends, or possibly still be friends? This isn't something that would fit in with Ja'mie's character but seeing her old friends incorporated will be awesome.
My main 2 negative for this episode was the use of the world "Yolo" (which I hope isn't over used throughout the series) and the fact that the principle character straight away reminded me of Doug Peterson. The tone of his voice and the dialogue was very similar. Other than that it was a pretty hilarious episode!
If you liked Summer Heights High then I highly recommend watching this. From someone who hasn't seen it and doesn't know what to expect from this character, they would probably have mixed reviews about it.
score 10/10
