My teenager and I tried to watch this. We kept waiting for it to turn into the amazing show everyone was talking about but mid-way through episode 4 we gave up.

The dialogue was inauthentic and weird; the acting was sub-par; and the directing was off. For example, one of the characters slaps a piece of paper down on the table in front of another character and then a beat later dramatically stands up and... just stands there. It was laughably bad.

We read the synopses of the other episodes and the entire thing was completely contrived. If the point was some sort of PSA, they missed the mark on that, too, as nowhere during the regular episodes is there any mention of a suicide hot-line or how one could get help fighting bullying; in fact, the message delivered was adults won't help you so don't even bother trying.

So bad and for the life of me I can't understand how it's getting such rave reviews. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
