Joey Pollari, Bubba Lewis, Zack Pearlman and Mark L. Young star in "The Inbetweeners."

Pioneer High grad Zack Pearlman's new MTV show, "The Inbetweeners," based on a hit British series of the same name, premieres Monday, August 20 at 10:30 p.m., and thus far, the reviews on the comedy are mixed.

Variety and Newday both shine a positive light on "Inbetweeners"; a critical, but hopeful, review appears on The Boston Globe; and writers for SFGate.com and The Hollywood Reporter consider the new series an unworthy retread.
