CGiii Comment
Opening music and credits: horrible.
The rest...hideous.
The performances are weak...especially from Willett (the lead)...a performance as lacklustre as matt paint - here endeth a career!
But, the real flop of the show...is the writing...Northy's debut, a script that should have seen the inside of a trash-can rather than the light of the day.
A question Stein should have asked himself: who are my intended audience? Because, this is completely lost. Too dumb for the typical teen, too immature for the more mature.
A flimsy, flaccid flop.
