Taylor B. The way it was shot was really cool and the acting was great. However, I found the storyline too straight forward. I kept waiting for some kind of twist or something that would draw my interest, but it never happened.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review beth B This is a study in humanity and is gut wrenching to watch. If you want something fun that you don’t have to use any brain power to understand, then skip this one. If you want something that will make you question every emotion and truly appreciate the incredible performances by every single cast member, then watch this one! As someone who worked with troubled youth, this was frightfully accurate and seeing the effect on everyone involved when a child is involved makes these cases so difficult and tragic. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review MB B (Contains some spoilers) We watched all four episodes, awaiting the big wrap up at the end. We didn't get one. No complaints about the acting or the actors' ability to film looooong takes, but the script left a lot to be desired. A lot of unanswered questions. Why were all the adults a bunch of namby pambys, while the kids were a bunch of foul-mouthed radicals that controlled their parents, teachers, and other senior figures? What about the scene where the black schoolgirl beat up on one of her male classmates, while yelling, "I know you killed her"! Why didn't anyone look into him as the possible murderer especially since he looked a lot like Jamie? Hellooooo? Why, when Jamie said he decided to plead guilty, none of his family members said, "Why"? or "Don't do that?" They all just sat there. Odd behavior. This was a very disappointing series, given all the praise from critics. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
