I literally just finished the first episode and I’m so conflicted with this show.
Quality-wise, it’s got a fantastic look. The aesthetic, direction, and acting are absolutely the golden HBO standard.
But… the dialogue half the time is simply embarrassing. Cringe-worthy even when these people talk like they’re in a sex comedy like Superbad or something.
Speaking of the actors, that’s the most conflicting part. I think they all do a great job, but damn it’s hard to ignore these are 20-something’s meant to be high school kids.
But given nobody looks, talks, or acts like high schoolers, why not have just set this show in college?
I’m gonna keep going with it, but frankly one episode in I’m very mixed.
