    Everyone has different tastes… how about just watching an ep and seeing if you like it?

    7.4/10 on imdb reflects this

    Sounds like a teen romance show

    By the title I thought it was a new eatslikeacat thread.

  • Just the title itself turned me off from watching it.
    Usually I watch a trailer, and I'm pretty good at telling which movie is going to be good and which is going to be bad. There's nuances in the trailer that give it away. The downside is, some productions have terrible editors that basically put the whole plot/movie into the trailer, and that basically ruins the entertainment factor when you actually go to see it.

    By the way, never go by what the "critics say" because 9-times-of-10 they're wrong. Sometimes by a little, usually by a decent, and sometimes by a huge margin. These fartsy people get skewed and some simply give better reviews because of pay check.

    So… check the User Reviews. And if possible, wait. There are people who pay certain services to "review bomb" a product, service, or content to seem more positive. If you wait long enough, the real feedback comes in and dilutes those biased reviews.

      That's why I hate RT and always check imdb

        They have a User Rating on the side. I only look at the Critic Rating to see how wrong they were.

        The exception are "gag votes" such as Morbius. I remember seeing the first trailer and KNOWING how bad it was going to be. After delay after delay, they finally released it. I didn't see it, but iirc, the Critic Rating was like 57% and User Rating was 30%. It's funny looking at it now, the critics seem to have changed their mind and its flopped to 16%. While the MCU community is having a laff and decided to pump those numbers to 71%. It's morbin' time!

        My favourite scene was "have seggs dance". It is definitely, without a doubt, a scene in a movie.

    I'd suggest you binge during your school holidays.

  • I tuned out within 10 mins but my wife (28 y/o) loved it and binged the entire series in 2 days.

    Only worth watching if you turned pretty

  • My wife enjoyed it. It's based on a book. It's aimed at girls/women. It seems a good reenactment of the book.

    It's a teenage coming of age show.

    If watching that is your thing, go for it.
