       A school for the worst girl students in Great Britain. Emos, moonshiners, designers of tampons, pranksters and ‘Mission Impossible’ type thieves of ‘The Girl with Pearl Earring.’

       Of course it’s ridiculous. And juvenile. And utter nonsense. And possibly not as good as the originals from the 50s and 60s, but I’ve not seen them so I don’t have to bother with them.

       I love it.
