When will people stop commissioning high school dramas with twenty-somethings as the lead characters? It adds a dimension of ridiculous to the whole thing that's difficult to see past. The story arcs are okay, the writing is a cliché, some of the acting is wooden, balanced out by some good stuff. Cinematography and production is excellent and carries the whole thing. It is blaring my obvious what is going to happen mid-series. It's alright, I finished it, but it's not better than six stars where it has the potential to have been a LOT better.
Major biggest gripe really is with the casting and setting unattainable standards for actual teenagers watching. Zero effort has even been made to make them not look 20-something, when we are dealing with what must be meant to be 16/17 year olds at the eldest.
