Well, the beginning premise is NOT promising. The super-goodlooking cast is gone. Funny decision to make previous seasons weirdos & losers the new leads might dissuade some from even watching...

But, if you do watch, you'll find the Third season is not bad: it's not bad AT ALL. Might even be best of the three.

The opening credits do not fail to re-vamp the music theme yet again along with the most dramatic-looking scenes (as usual, way more dramatic LOOKING than they then actually are) and each episode ends exactly at the most poignant moment or highest peak: yet again you can say 'Hormones' are best at the beginning and the end.

But given the characters are not the closest ones to you while you start watching, you must admit the amount of creative work done was way higher this time, in compare how strongly you feel for them by the end of the episode.

Each episode ends precisely when it should end: if lacking a tiny bit, or being tiny bit longer, it would not work as much.

In the end (when they show you the empty school) you are sorry there are no seasons 4-10:-) You wouldn't even mind if this show would return each season with completely new cast & characters (like british 'SKiNS'): because this style actually never gets you tired.
