I must say that the fact the main actresses were in their 30s while the the rest of the cast was their own age (kids being kids, adults being adults) was a little distracting but it wears off after a couple of episodes.

After seeing every episode I understand why they casted 2 adults to play the role of two 13 years old. It's heavy, it portrays real-life lessons and struggles mainly for girls but it shades a light on boys difficulties as well.

Overall, it's a very good show. Mayas' impersonation of Jim Carreys' Ace Ventura was so relatable, I used to do the same eheh The show also made me appreciate the fact that I was able to grow up without this addiction to smartphones and the internet in general, life wasn't easier but it was much more appreciated :)

Finally, just wanted to say I really liked the script and the educational part is very important and one of the reasons I think everyone should see it.
