The cast is an unusually talented group of young actors, given the truly admirable job they deliver at their relatively young age, can't wait to see how they perform as they mature with additional experience. The story becomes overwrought and rather foolishly convoluted, which is too bad, because it ultimately trivializes a well-crafted series; still, worth watching. But probably would have benefitted from a few less episodes, and most certainly doesn't warrant another season with more of the same. The relationship to the original A. F. characters is minimal, at best, if that's what you're looking for, this series will likely disappoint.
