The show begins on the premise of children being upset over the general current state of affairs and wanting to take gradually more extreme measures to "do something". The challenge, of course, is that most issues aren't as black-and-white as they would like to believe:

1. The rich daughter who suddenly decides she needs to find purpose from the comfort of her multi-million euro home while sipping smoothies determines that, within a few pages of reading an actual book, brands and logos are the root of all evil - this leads to an awkward situation in which she challenges her father about his continued purchase of designer goods, to which he replies that he prefers to purchase higher quality goods that last longer and that the real problem starts earlier on in the supply chain (textile factories in Bangladesh). Armed with this bit of knowledge, said daughter does, unsurprisingly, exactly nothing. Indeed, you will not hear the words "supply chain" mentioned even once in this series - maybe they need to finish high school first.

2. The aggrieved farmer's son that blames a factory owner for poisoning his parents fields, wishes to correct this injustice by throwing a paintball at the owner. One of the other children points out that this is pointless and will accomplish nothing apart from incurring an additional dry cleaning bill, and that "something else" must be done. This "something else" turns out to be putting production run-off in to the owner's SUV (all evildoers drive SUVs in this show), which ultimately gets on his suit when the door is opened. Totally different than the paintbaill scenario in every way.

3. Argumentation that a slaughterhouse is not adhering to regulations suggests that there is room for reasonable action to correct this situation by gathering actual evidence and submitting this to regulators, but instead leads to mass vandalism, the death of the animals they aimed to protect, and the ultimate destruction of jobs for all the workers. Mission accomplished. In the end, the owners, who the kids have the grievance with, has in no way been dissuaded from changing their business practices, and will now simply have the insurance money to start up elsewhere. Kids 1, critical thinking 0.

4. After that, it's having an issue with SUVs - nothing specific like emissions, fuel consumption, weight impact on small village roads, or anything concrete, just SUVs in general. In this case, the target of the chidlren's ire is a small business owner who again, is so far removed from the market development and product positioning strategy of large automotive OEMs that one wonders whether it's really possible for anyone to be this naive (it turns out that the answer is yes, it is). One of the former vandals even brings this point up with the instigator, asking what they think they're accomplishing, or what the small business owner has done wrong, but this is again met with silence. Local business damaged and possible jobs lost - another victory for the muppet brigade.

5. Continuing on the cliche bandwagon, it was only a matter of time before an arms manufacturer would be introduced and targeted. In this case, besides a personal vendetta of the hooligan-in-chief, issues with the arms manufacturer tend to primarily evolve around making sales to countries that the children find objectionable, but which are otherwise supported by the foreign policy of their country.

Fortunately it ends on a high note - the organizers are arrested and carted away, while the rest of the kids go back to their social media channels, and no negative consequences seem to have befallen the factory, which will presumably open up for business as usual on Monday.

In short, if you want to watch a bunch of kids fail to grasp the intricacies of the issues they've just suddenly identified and spend half the series either spraypainting something or removing spraypaint from something, this is the show for you.

That being said, I'm looking forward to the second series - there's so many more industries they can complain about and fail to do anything about, this could go on for several seasons. They didn't even get to climate change or the big bad energy company (the executive of which will be in an SUV, of course), so there's definitely exciting material to come.

The plastic episode said a lot of dumb things like "stop using plastic omg", like the problem are in the people who buy not the industry that make us buy it, the episode on the slanders was not as bad as could be, and the last episode the "leftist one" saying things like "im doing this for my mother", like bro your mother unfortunately is not the only one who died, you should be doing this because it's wrong not only because you're mad and mourning! And Lea at the end doing the most naive thing in the world pretending that protest would change something for the world and for the market of guns and war, wish the world was like that, not gonna lie.

But the idea was not all bad, can make people want to study more about the impacts of capitalism.

I was a little bit in hype for this series but after two episodes I've realised how lazy the script was. First of all there are so many referencies to other show (Stranger Things for the main theme, Money Heist for the off screen narration from the co-protagonist girl and all the cliché from ALL the american teen drama that we've already seen a thousand times) that'll make you feel sick. The second and the most important problem is the script: the sudden evolution of the characters, the illogical and no sense behaviours, screenplay holes (better say pit) and in general ridiculous staging. It seems they do what they do not for a real sake consourning political and social problems but only because they just wanna have fun, acting like posers only because they've read a book or a relevant article (and since yesterday they were totally different person); in fact all behaviours, as I said, are SO extreme, false and unnatural! It's all black or white without shades of gray in the middle. Other problems concern the holes script. Basically the way they plan all the assaults is completely omitted so they just... Go. Without worrying about consequences and in fact there are so many times in which they could've been catched and arrested with a thousand evidences of the crime but almost every time they escape and gain freedom. All of these problems make you react with so many facepalms that you will stop watching immediately but I have to say that in the end has his positive points. Rather than beeing boring, has a marked rythm! Every episodes is full of developments! Also, it catches you in the mood of the story and you start moving with confidence with the characters and the narrative world in a certain point because you want to know how it ends, and for me that's the main point of a tv series so in a way the goal is achieved. In conclusion, I don't know if reccomend you this. It has only 6 episodes so if it's a rainy day and you are bored, that's the one for you! In any case, choose yourself if you wanna give a positive or a negative meaning about all I've written.

In the first episode, Lea can't get a bottle of water on the stage because she is stooped by the politician's guards, but when the politician gets dizzy, somehow all the guards are letting him go down the stage, alone, wondering through some hallways, just to get captured.

This movie is full of this kind of situations that are so edgy and so cringy that it makes you scratch your face.

It's like a kid wrote this movie
