Tired story of bullying and the dangers of cyberspace
27 October 2023
Tired story of bullying and the dangers of cyberspace. Strange and lonely girl who lost her mother to cancer is bullying by the "cool kids" and feels shunned and alone. Introduce a disfigured online friend who is obsessive and manipulative. This friendship escalates to dangerous behaviors and stunts. The shy girl suddenly becomes confident and blah blah blah.

As the story continues, nothing really happens but the shy girl finds herself, and she is continued to be stalked by the disfigured online girl.

The resolution is a downer. It culminates with the negative outcomes of obsessive thinking and behavior. Of the lonely and disenfranchised teens that just desperately want to belong somewhere.

Acting and production os high quality. The storyline just wasn't that incentive or original, regurgitating tropes and PSA warnings.

These AHStories just don't quite have enough to them to really justify this show.
