This show is ridiculously unrealistic, but I don’t care
Obviously, it’s not supposed to be the most serious show ever, so I’m okay with it being completely over the top. The main cast is very pleasing to the eye and does a pretty decent job with their acting (nothing special, of course). The actors are way too old for the roles they’re playing, until Sarah said she was only 16, I wasn’t really sure how old they were supposed to be.
But whatever, it’s nothing new
Casting age-appropriate actors is really hard, so I can’t deduct points for that. I’m not completely finished yet, but so far it’s fun, fast, enjoyable. Edit: After finishing JEDVA KATAT season 2.
Netflix, you did it again!
It got a lot better with each episode and honestly, it finally felt like a really quality production and is a really good setup for a potential second season. What impressed me the most was how well-written the dialogue was, it was really believable. If you can ignore the fact that they don’t look like 16-year-olds at all, they definitely act like a bunch of 16-year-old idiots.
