I hadn't watched the earlier versions, but I watched all 3 of these.

Feedback

I dont mind the Metalhedz premise, its no different than choosing any other social group premise for a show (eg BBT), and just provides some grounding for characters. That said, the Metal premise is probably less accessible to a lot of people. Also it doesn't provide as much opportunity for color choices for clothing.

Episode 1 had some problems in that I never felt the girls and guys were sitting at the same table. Seemed like 2 set pieces glued together.

I felt Episode 2 was the best of the 3. I didn't find too much wrong with it. I quite enjoyed it, and started warming to the characters.

Episode 3 was very messy on the pacing. Tails trying preparing to chat up the girl was good. The porn discussion scene had potential but was a bit stilted. Skulls post-laid stuff just seemed silly. I liked a lot of the chat-up with the facebook girl and Ginge, but it didnt quite work at the end of the scene.


Characters.

Tails is the best character. Try not to go too over the top with the tumblrish nerdy girl concept though (I thought tentacle porn was slightly over the line when it didn't need to go that far). The lisp is endearing to me, although some disagreed in above posts.
Ginge - I dont mind him as a womaniser, but he doesnt seem to have any motivations apart from getting laid. He comes across as the group's social hub, so he needs a little more fleshing out.
Skull - I feel I would like to see him a bit more off the wall, a la Ade Edmonson (VyV in Young Ones or Eddie in Bottom).
Beki (I think this is her name) - is a non-character at this point. Tails likes her but Beki is straight. That's all I got.


Lastly, 30 seconds of front titles does my head in. I have to fast forward 30s every time.
