As a self-proclaimed Jdrama fanatic, it utterly shames me to admit that I've only seen like 8 episodes of Gokusen(S1) so far. And, they're already preparing to graduate??? As far as the ratings go, well, duuhhh.lol  |

| It's great. Nakama Yukie brings it all the way home, the ensemble acting is good, and the writing is good. |

| Each season of the jdorama focuses on a different class. So the class from S3 is not the same as S1 or S2. I believe that each season had a graduation special but I'm not completely positive about that... |

"Highest rated" it may be, but good it was not. I watch a lot of J-dramas and I could barely sit through one episode of this one. I liked the first Gokusen series quite a lot, and I felt the second series was fair, but this was just too much of the same, in my opinion. |

Yes, you are correct about the classes and specials.
There is only ONE student that appears in all 3 series. He was a student in S1, and already graduated and working by S2, and married with children by S3.
Also, only the vice-principal appears in all 3 for the teaching staff.
I thought S1 was great, S2 was even better still, but S3 fell a little bit short. I think they should have an S4 and have her go to an all girls school this time around. |
