Absolutely terrible
TSOFTB and TBR were 10/10 shows. However, Dumping Ground was plain disappointing. Series 1-4 was decent (nothing groundbreaking) but after that it went downhill. The new characters are terrible. It is too childish and outdated. Some of the TBR stuff is outdated but it is still an enjoyable watch as they were able to capture how children would have socialised in 2010-2012. However, in Dumping Ground, the way in which they socialise and react to things makes me think whether it is a 2011 show. Also, the characters are so one-dimensional. We used to have complex characters such as Elektra, Liam, Johnny , Tee, Carmen and Frank. Now, we have idiotic characters such as Jay, Candi-rose, Bec, Sid, Taz, Alex and Bird. I do not feel for
them during emotional scenes which means that the directors are doing a poor job.
They have messed up a franchise that had a lot of good memories.
