What Season 1 of The Inbetweeners

Will McKenzie transfers to a new high school after leaving a private school. His parents have just divorced, and the move is mainly due to financial problems at home. Will wants to fit in with the popular kids, but he doesn't quite manage it. He ends up befriending Simon, Jay, and Neil, three guys who are neither the coolest nor the nerdiest. Together they face school life with clumsy attempts at flirting and a strong need to feel accepted. Their adventures lead them to ditch classes, take a road trip in Simon's new car, and compete for a highly coveted spot on the graduation committee.
