It started off quite promising. The teens were all great characters, funny and engaging. It made me feel quite nostalgic for my misspent youth at times, although these teens are basically good boys and girls.
Storyline was OK at first. Not original or particularly believable but it was deliciously spooky at times. For as long as Rochelle was in it the story held my interest so I guess up until around episode 3 - maybe 4? After that it turned into a sort of weird extended Scooby Doo episode with shiny-eyed, earnest teens running round dodging death and disaster to solve the Red Rose mystery. The ending was predictably lame and implausible but to be fair its supposed to be a horror (although a pretty tame one in the end).
I suspect I am way too old for this. I'm sure teens will like it and I probably would have too when I was a teen but for grown-ups it's too long, too twee in parts and sometimes just too silly. I've scored it 5 stars as I liked the first few episodes and also the music is good.
