I was totally sold on the premise of the show and the first few minutes was absolutely interesting to me. I was rooting for the main protagonist (Darby) because I find her character very interesting and likeable. That was until the antagonist (Capri) died and haunted/blackmailed Darby. I almost always cringe at the way Capri bullies Darby into agreeing to what she wants (a party?!?!).
The writers could have brought the story to a different direction and still make it interesting. Darby's interaction with Gary (and later on, Mel) was pretty good and the writers could have played on this dynamic to futher the story but they opted to play on the teen drama aspect and emphasize the way Darby was bullied into following the wishes of Capri.
I really want to finish watching the first episode to see what happens next but the cringe-fest brought about by Capri prevents me from doing so.
In summary: SAY NO TO BULLYING!
