[6.5] I lie like my program codes
cjonesas6 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A start of a teen drama mystery with a very uncharismatic Megan (poor introvert choice as an actrice) and a much better, lively Isabella (with a radiant smile). The story has nothing much to offer for now as it is just unfolding with horrible flashbacks and time jumps. What wants to be mysterious is just a PVC black body bag.

Megan, a code writer, a wannabe programmer or hacker?! As much realistic as her jumping into the water (with Isabella's strength and spirit). What happened to Megan to wear make-up like that? Is she a marginalized girl and an outcast now? Time will tell, but not very believable.

Also the poster of season 2 is horrible, two girls' face in half (reflected in the water!) that makes the picture look like a prehistoric creature with a wide facial nose cut in half with a scalpel and punched hard and wide.

With sadness, I remember the deep & thrilling season 1 with those superb, charismatic, mysterious and bright actresses and sigh with despair. 2 years-time to come up and start with that...
