Grows on you...and then quickly runs out of ideas.
I initially wasn't impressed with SLiDE. Seemed like a very poor imitation of Skins (the first few series of Skins - it got quite silly after that). While SKins has a degree of warmth and likable characters this just seemed like anarchic kids doing stupid things.
However, from Episode 2 or 3 it got better. The dialogue got funnier, and the kids became more real, interesting and likable.
This lasted for a few episodes until about Episode 7 where it just ran out of ideas. After that the show revolved around silly, implausible pranks, melodrama-a-minute plots and overstated relationship "issues" and the kids, for the most part, became loathsome again.
A pity, as when it was good, it was quite funny and addictive.
