It's defo interesting, some great acting and aesthetics, just often poorly/chaotically written, tries to be too many things at once, and you have a bunch 26 year olds playing 17 year olds having cocaine and hardcore sex which a lot of people find weird. It's good slop though, I had fun watching. When it's not being teen drama slop the addiction stuff and Zendaya's acting is pretty captivating. s1 was better. Audience is mostly very young

It’s just grown ass adults playing high schoolers, and all they do is fuck, do drugs, abuse and assault and kill each other, and be depressed.

Now I don’t think the premise is inherently bad, but I just hate how that’s ALL they do. Like every person is a horrid piece of shit, except for Lexi and Ethan. It seems like their lives are a never ending stream of drama that I don’t see why they didn’t just bump the setting to college where some of the actions are more fitting (e.g. in college they don’t give a fuck if you fail classes and you can hang around on campus and no one will kick you out. But somehow they’re doing a bunch of heroin and coke and other hard drugs and they seem perfectly fine in high school and no one bats an eye or questions their grades or kicks them out of school. You can also fuck and party endlessly without caring about responsibilities unlike high school). Like I think most of them are canonically in sophomore or junior year of high school lol.
