Old white guy finds this show smartly written, well acted,with believable characters.
No Disney caricatures here...real dialogue with real people.
Those who favour the usual dumbed down formula sitcoms will balk. No laugh track, so, guess what... You get to pay attention to find your own fun. For these reasons this show will not appeal to middle America, as it's,frankly, too smart for tv audiences. Maybe as time goes on, they will get some variety into the cast.... Most every character is the same age, with little if any diversity.... maybe a kid or two?
The further the sitcom world gets away from the drivel of Family Ties ,The Connors,and the Bundys, the better.
This one satisfies that trend.
Well done!

Hard to know where to start with this one.
A lot of money went into this appalling mess. How did it get past test audiences?
Look.... this really isn't worth spending my time on a bad review...just don't bother.

Canadian film makers can usually be depended on for a whole pile more reality when it comes to
Kids/teen movies. Disney has ruined entertainment for and about these demographics, but we could usually look north for relief from their drivel.
This is one glaring exception.
Good writing can only get you so far, and the writing of this one is admittedly pretty good.... it is a funny film.
However, casting a 27 year old adult in the lead as a high school student.... hugely prevalent with Disney.... has me moving on to something else instantly. At what point did Casting think anyone would be convinced....27, really?
It actually all feels more than a bit creepy.
