This show does not make any sense, awful

Warning: Spoilers
There are many issues associated with this show, and most of it revolves around the plot. The plot can be confusing at time, and it is not relatable. Though not all shows should be relatable, it makes it easier to follow the plot. Here are my current issues:

1. There are plot holes. 2. The way Cyd and Shelby time travel can be confusing. 3. The plot is not well thought out- there is no plot line. 4. Chet and Bret are unnecessary characters that do not contribute to the show. 5. The writing, acting,special effects and humor is bad. 6. I find the lighting to be a bit weird.

In terms of plot holes, in the episode "The Butterscoth Effect", Barry explains the butterfly effect to Cyd and Shelby. That's great and all, but there's a plot hole. When the two travel back to 4th grade to allow Barry to meet Dr. Fleming (his hero), it is revealed Barry gave up on science. What does not make sense is how the two can still time travel, because the Barry that allowed them to time travel no longer exists. Unless their ability is to jump between alternate universes during different time periods, it does not make sense.

Next, Cyd and Shelby's method of time traveling is weird. The writers don't do a good job explaining this and just keep it at, "the girls explore their newfound power." They simply touch each other while thinking of a time, and then they will be able to travel. It's certainly unique, but it sometimes doesn't make sense in certain situations.

Third, stories should have plot lines or some form a continuation. This is the issue with most, if not, most Disney Shows. I think that this show barely has some plot progression, and is more like random days of their life being picked to be shown.

Fourth of all, Chet and Bret are unnecessary characters. They make no contribution to the plot and are annoying characters. The two have weird arguments and don't really have a sibling relationship with Shelby. For whatever reason, the two have this weird obsession with Cyd.

Next, the writing, special effects, acting, and humor is bad. The effects look relatively cheap, the jokes are terrible, and the acting seems forced. The writing has already been discussed previously with the plot.

Lastly, I find the lighting to be a bit weird. I know it's really weird to say this, but it is very different compared to the other shows. The lighting does not do a good job on creating a mood for the show.

Honestly, I do not recommend watching this show. It is a waste of time, and it needs a lot of improvement. It's a interesting idea, but was executed poorly.
