Review by nklemann

This show to me is a story of youth growing up in a fractured world and dealing with trauma, violence, drugs, and a lack of guidance from a young age and how it effects their development. These are normal things for a teen drama show to hone in on, but what makes it different to me is the cinematic quality. The cinematography, the music, the camera techniques, the film references.... you can tell the writer is a cinephile and is having lots of fun writing this story. I guess people who are fans of particular characters, and not just along for the ride will find themselves disappointed, but they're fools for thinking this show wants them to "stan" certain characters, or "ship" certain couples. This isn't the CW.
