Your Reviews - Series Five
Episode 5.2
Love Waterloo Road so much!!! Couldn't live without it and I think the script and acting are excellent. I finish watching every episode saying "It can't get better than this!", and it always does! Love the snooty new teachers and nasty Max Tyler. Waterloo Road is Amazing!!! Hope there is a happy ending for poor Rachel though she seems to have been through everything. Can't wait for the rest of the series...

What was going on with last week's episode – unrealistic or what? I work in a secondary school and think this is putting us all in a bad light. Max Tyler, totally unprofessional. Come on, Waterloo Road, sort this out!

The second episode of the new series was intrinsically explosive. Bolton being accused of sexually assaulting Amy Porter was a fantastic way of portraying an extremely sensitive subject in a dramatic yet emotion way. Well done Waterloo Road!

Excellent drama series. 'Grange Hill for grown-ups' Lovely Tom Chambers being a bad guy with 'issues'a nd top acting from Eva Pope. This is a very watchable programme.

I love the new episodes... I am always blown away by the magnificent acting and drama in Waterloo Road. I must say that that new 'co-head' of waterloo has a mischievous look to him, and I think he will abuse students in the future just like he did to that English teacher [i think :/] I can see a lot of similarities between Waterloo Road and the schools today... very modernized and not too stereotypical.

It’s a totally new cast which I was disappointed about, but then I watched it and I loved it! I can’t wait to see next week’s episode. Where has Janeece gone though? I didn't think she had left??? But totally loving the new series! Good job :)

I thought Episode Two was a little harsh – I felt sorry for Bolton – but I like this series, it is really good. Not the same without Eddie though :( x

Waterloo Road is my favourite programme ever. I can't believe Bolton got accused of rape – as if he'd do something like that. I feel sorry for Michaela and I can't believe that Bolton dumped her; they were so cute together. I can't wait to see what's going to happen with Danielle next week.

I really like the new series of Waterloo Road. One thing I don't like is how nobody can see how nasty the new teacher Mr Tyler really is. Also, Bolton is really gorgeous, and I am annoyed how he keeps getting all the bad storylines :(

I love waterloo road and have always been a fan. So far im liking the plot with the two schools coming together, however I’m a little confused as to why Kim is not with Andrew?? They were a couple at the end of the last series. I am also liking the new deputy head Christopher very very much!!!!

I think its FAB! But a bit upset at yesterday’s episode. Want Michaela and Bolton to get back together. Their characters were great together on screen!! Also Max Tyler is really mean! Great character though! Can’t wait for next week already!

I really am enjoying it. However the John Fosters lot can be really annoying. But that's just me getting too into the episodes! Well done, and keep it up!

I think the new series is quite good. Although the first episode of Series 5 wasn't quite as exciting as the first episode of Series 4. Can't wait to see how many storylines unravel themselves. :)

I was so pleased when Waterloo Road returned to our screens but I have to say that, although I have enjoyed the first two episodes, I am a little irritated that half the teachers seemed to have vanished. There has been no mention at all by the remaining teachers as to where they have disappeared to. I understand that when two schools merge that some teachers will be replaced but surely some mention to explain this could be included by some of the remaining characters. As it is many plots have been left unfinished. Surely this is lazy writing?! I will continue to watch as some of the new characters are decent eg Lindsey, but the new teachers are pretty horrible to watch. Not up to the standard I have come to expect. :(

I’ve been hooked on WR ever since the arrival of Eva Pope in 3.7, and love the fact that every episode continues to amaze me! Rachel is truly the best character on TV. She's amazing. Although she really needs to get the evil Max Tyler out of HER school (if only Eddie could come back for an episode and reunite the dream team of Waterloo Road)! Can't wait for next week.
