I'm shocked that I liked it

I don't care for young adult or teen-oriented shows. But this one grabbed my attention. The first 2 episodes were interesting. The 1st episode is shown from the teens point of view, and the 2nd episode is the same episode, but shown from the parents point of view.

The teen characters are somewhat interesting, made so by the complexity of their relationships with their parents. And the parents are just a bunch of down-right dirty, snobby-ssA SOBs with s**t loads of secrets.

I saw enough to keep my interest for a bit longer. I hope it pans out.

Same. Can't say I mind teen-oriented shows, but I was not expecting much from this one, which looked geared toward a younger audience when I first saw the trailer. But it's actually a lot deeper and darker than I was expecting and it works really well.

Didn't expect to like it either.It seemed like it aimed at a younger audience from the trailers and has a mostly unknown cast.but i'm enjoying it so far..
