If you look at the voter's statistics, mostly teenagers have voted this show with a high rating. Which leads me to think that the younger generation could be impressed by this "drama", despite the horrible B-level acting and empty plot (things that are easily overlooked if you are young and have less experience with high quality productions).Over the course of the first season, basically nothing interesting happens.
The show's only plot-twist is extremely predictable. Each episode is dull and boring, which is made worse by the overall poor acting and very underwhelming character development (there's basically not a single interesting character in this show.)If you want to watch a good teenage-drama then I'd just recommend
"13 reasons why" over this garbage, which has excellent acting and storyline.

Alright listen. This will sound like I'm being facetious, but I promise that this is fully true, cross my heart, swear to die. This is the most amazing show I've ever seen. I didn't expect it to be so incredible - I got bored of Portlandia, House is no longer on Netflix, and I figured it was time to stop rewatching The Office and try something new. Then, lo and behold, this is on the front page of Netflix, and I watch a trailer, and I'm like, "This looks like a very nothing show." But I'm not one to knock it before I try it, so I put on the pilot. Six episodes later, I call it a night. It's been two days, and I'm I think ten days into it. You do not want to miss this show.So you might be asking, "Sam, is it really that good?" Good? Noooo no. No. Nope, no, no. No. It's not good. This is the most hilariously bad show I've ever seen. The writing is so predictable that I've made a game of pausing the show right before a character is about to say something important. I'm currently batting better than anyone on the Mets has in decades (no offense Mo Vaughn). The only time this show isn't predictable is when it introduces a twist that's so absolutely insane that it makes no sense, and you just can't help but laugh, even alone in your bedroom at 1 AM, that human beings actually wrote that into some show about tweens going to a new high school. Oh, the high school. The Greenhouse (Academy). It looks like dump. This isn't like Zoey 101 where you'll want to go to the school - there are only like five rooms this show is set in, and they are all trying so terribly hard to seem like rooms at a hip boarding school that you just want to pat the set designers on the head. That just makes it all funnier. The actors and actresses are fine (in general), but the writing is so unnatural, cliché, and out of date that they don't shine - don't you worry, this show stays hilariously ridiculous the whole time, whether the plot has just dropped off a cliff or there's a heart to heart going on between the two leads. OH another fun thing. Listen for all the default sound effects, you know, the type that you might find in Windows Movie Maker 2003. Those really serve to help take the show beyond a 10. A la another terrifically bad movie, Spinal Tap, this one goes to 11I could go on and on, but wow, you really just should watch this show. It is the worst and best thing to happen to me in a long time. I pray daily that there will be a second season. Okay, love you, drive safe. Sam
