The series premieres on the highest of highs dropping to the lowest of lows. Somewhat stealing a real-life story of the failed launch of the shuttle Challenger with the civilian teacher on board. Two teenagers and their father cheering at a celebration of accomplishment watch in terror as the launch goes horribly wrong.
Skip ahead over half a year and the family is struggling to identify themselves and pursue their lives after the tragedy. The children, the main protagonists, fight for each other and against each other to find themselves while dad sits in a haze essentially lost to the story.
While the acting is pretty good and story mechanics identifiable they are a bit rehearsed and a little predictable. I'm hoping the complexity will improve as the series gains traction.
The title of the series is a revered school where the kids mother went and her legacy allows them an opportunity that normally would not have been given, at least that's what the creator wants us to think. Some help, some challenges, and a lot of questions remain as to how successful the siblings will be at this school.
