hjjgawad's rating
If episode 1 anything to go by, this series will be terrible. It's very out of sequence, lacks the opening salve that made the 1994 adaptation a classic, and Whoopi Goldberg as the old black lady is utterly unconvincing. I'm super disappointed in this and can't understand all the 10 star ratings. Are those people getting paid or something? I wonder this because this episode was objectively bad.
It has a decent plot that is obfuscated by mediocre acting and the fact that the entire series is misplaced in terms of time period. The show should have in a college setting. A high school setting is a complete misfire for the plot. Add to that a terrible score, unnecessary settings that are designed to sexualize teenagers (eg, why so many scenes in a sauna!?), and you have a formula for a completely forgettable series. It's a pity really.
It's dribble. Great cast is wasted. Elegant story is reduced to an inarticulate crap show. The score is just plain bad. The renditions of the characters are completely off. This attempt at modernization of a classic tale absolutely fails.
