We got to the 7th episode and still had no idea what the point of any of this was. The show has absolutely no direction. It just seems to wander around like a blind dog. None of the characters are likeable. If anything, the girl who's supposed to be the antagonist is probably the most sympathetic member of the cast. They keep telling us that something isn't right about the school, but there's nothing that happens that enforces this idea at all. It's just some chick reading a diary about stuff to do at the school to fit in, but everything she does fails to accomplish that goal or has no bearing on anything that's going on. Everything that could build some drama and mystery is quickly resolved and has no function past that sequence in the script. Almost nothing that happens makes any sense or advances the narrative in any way. 7 episodes in and I cant recall a scene that takes place in a classroom. It's a school without education, apparently...and how is Junior's Coffee look exactly like it does on Chicken Girls, which, for some reason that escaped us, takes place 25 years before? Why this show takes place 1994 is beyond us. It could have been 2004, 1984, 2014, whatever. It didnt make any difference. Other than one girl with crimped hair, a reference to grunge and Janet Jackson, and an old cell phone, you'll have to really dig deep to understand why this is 1994. Anyway, this show is utter crap. Anybody on here giving this a high score are either developmentally challenged and would be entertained by banging their head against the wall or simply lying...or, even more likely, both. At least one can take solace in knowing the episodes are like 12 minutes long...but who cares? This would suck if they were 90 minutes or 5. Don't watch this and put off death a little longer. The choice is yours.
