At first I thought "please not another romantic youth series without content", but luckily fate was on my side. Even as an adult, I finished the first episode of this series in one sitting. The story of this episode is about Mia, the main character, who is released from a psychiatric institution after having an eating disorder. The story focuses on having struggles during the further healing process and the realization that the world around has never stood still. It's very moving. The emotional passages in particular appeal to me enormously. They suck you into the story and you literally feel everything the main character experiences. That's why you can empathize even better.

Thankfully not another YA generic snoozefest

Wow! I was not expecting that!
That is all I can say about the first episode. I usually give a show a few episodes to grow on me but this one is an immediate hit.
The actress who plays the main protagonist is phenomenal and her cadre of pals are winsome and varied.
The show manages to pack an awful lot into its runtime leaving little time for dawdling and creates an excellent backdrop, drawing Mia out into the world she left seven months before.
The opening salvo of the story is more weighty and impactful than many of its and has far darker undertones than equivalent US shows seem to cover. This may put viewers looking for some cheerful Young Adult drama or comic relief, but episode one manages to surface for air often enough with bursts of cheer and humour that keep the viewer well entertained.
Outstanding acting, strong characters, interesting premise.
Excellent start to the series.
