Im convinced whoever wrote this doesn't know a single teenager in real life. The dialogue and characters are comically bad. The plot could be cool if it wasn't littered with Disney villains and goons. Literally the bad guys are a creepy old woman named "Bat Lady", bald man in a suit and sunglasses called "Sunglasses Man", and some Eastern European guy with an octopus tattoo they call "Octoface". Nothing ever makes any sense at all. The main character is in love with a girl he literally has 3 conversations with. It's so cheesy I feel like it'd be better branded as a spoof of a crime mystery drama. Trying to pass this off as serious is laughable.
