[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thought it was terrible. Trying so hard to be edgy and just gratuitous. Although I do really like Zendaya.[/quote]

Agree--gratuitous. Felt like voyeurism, as if the director of someone was getting off on filming sex scenes and pretending "this is real life for today's teens." Stopped watching after a while because there didn't seem to be much storytelling point to it all other than showing the sex and drug use. [/quote]

Teens?

Zendaya is 25.[/quote]

DP and I agree with PP.  She may be 25 but most of the characters being portrayed are around 16.  I watched some of season 1 to see what the buzz was about.  It's just another show fetishizing teen sex and drugs.  I don't really understand why adults enjoy watching teens behave badly so much, but there are plenty of shows and movies that indicate they do.  Are there even any redeemable characters? I am simultaneously horrified and bored by shows like this where its just a bunch of stupid people making bad decision after bad decision.  Nobody under 18 should be watching this.[/quote]

My 12yo students are watching.[/quote]

My 15 year old high school students keep trying to convince me to watch.  I find it disturbing that they like it so much.  I watched 20 minutes when the first season came out and found it incredibly depressing and disturbing.[/quote]

It's a pretty gross show. [/quote]
