Came because of the trailer, staying for the picturesque locales. The island setting is *chefs kiss*
The story is told from the teenager's POV, alternating between each episode. First episode is a supersized hour-long episode but it becomes 20-something minutes long after that. First episode did felt long but the next few episodes are a breeze.
Everything from the writing, acting etc is decent. Even the adult roles are well cast, even though they appear for only 2 minutes max per episode (with the exception of the janitor).
The story is predictable since it's for younger teens but they did throw something random every now and then to give a jolt when it needs it.
The show's apparent weakness is the lack of Pietro, since he's the most prominent in the trailer. He opens the first episode but by mid-season he's almost a background wallpaper. And this is very clear at the start of the penultimate episode. The side characters do get enough screen time but Pietro, supposedly the other main character beside Livia, didn't. Which is a shame since he reminds me of a young Tom Cruise.
Much much better than other teen shows, for example: Netflix's own Rebelde which I got recommended as soon as I finished this show. And if you want to watch bad teen acting the recent Resident Evil have plenty of that. And Pretty Little Liars reboot just being released, plenty of bad choices to be made.....H8Rs.*looks around*
Oh and this show got haters because it's PC (and wholesome).
