I recently rewatched The Inbetweeners in full plus the two movies, because I'd never actually seen the second one. I can't find anywhere to watch the reunion special though (Fwends Reunited) so if anyone has a link for it PLEASE GIVE IT TO ME. I know it was a disaster but I want to see it.
I just love how that show is the epitome of British humour, but also 'boys will be boys.' It's gross and occasionally offensive (sign of the times) but it genuinely warms my heart because these guys grew up together making this show and must've had such a great time and I just love when I rewatch it.
Discovering it late at night as a young teen and feeling like I shouldn't be watching it was a delight.
I saw the first movie yeeeeeears ago and watched it multiple times since but for some reason never watched the second one. I did this time around and I really enjoyed where they left it.
Simon was always a bit of a hot-headed dick (to his parents more than anyone else, which was interesting because he could also arguably be the most level-headed otherwise) but would obviously assume that's something he grew out of. Closing the chapter with him free of Carli's spell and no longer with Lucy either was the most ideal end for him, I think.
Will, the same, I think it was ideal he ended the series single because so many of his problems came from trying to pursue girls. Good luck to him though with his mum marrying Mr. Gilbert lmfaooooo.
Jay's character development was probably the most significant. I was glad Jane didn't take him back but I like to think they stay friends.
Neil was probably my favourite in terms of funniness but why is he always being preyed on by cougars omfg!!!!
Anyway all this to say it's such a classic British comedy, I fucking love it, and if I don't see the reunion somewhere at some point I will be very annoyed.
UPDATE, MAY 2026: I have now watched the reunion because some lovely soul uploaded it to DailyMotion here.
I didn't... hate it? But it also wasn't very well executed. Elements of it were fun but could've been done better, and I don't know why Jimmy Carr was hosting it when Greg Davies is right there.
A lot of it just seemed nonsensical and they didn't have any significant time with iconic supporting actors from the show which would've been great.
But mostly, it would've been best if there was just more of the four guys sitting, reminiscing, telling funny behind-the-scenes tales, talking about their favourite scenes, talking about the rare sweet and meaningful moments (the trampoline scene?! Come on! So heart-warming!). It just felt like too much of a comedy roast with Jimmy Carr involved. He was talking most of the time and not the four guys who actually made the show as iconic as it is. It was a real bummer listening to James Buckley talk about how he felt really insulted months after it aired and I can see why.
I hope if they do any kind of other reunion or anything in the future, it's better thought-out, and that they take more input from the four main actors.
The only part of it that was 5-star was Blake Harrison because he is delicious. I always knew Neil was my fave for a reason.
