To be honest it didn't seem like an idea that could work in the long run unless they escalated things to evermore higher proportions to the point where the school setting is ridiculous.

The stakes were high enough in the first movie that there wasn't much higher up they could go. The show tried to start at low stakes and escalate, but it stayed at low stakes for far too long.
So you think that the problem was with the execution and not with the premise itself?
Yes. It’s a bit harder to have a premise so faulty that it can’t work. The movie showed that they could make the idea work with focus.
