There will be no spoilers in this review. As I mentioned in the title, that's all this show is, a cinematographic manifestation of an empty, dull and underwhelming story. The show started off quite promising, the first episode in particular was very good, it investigated the depths of relationships for our protagonist, there was indeed some development. But onwards, it fell way too flat, no development, and a bunch of predictable and futile encounters for our lovely main character. Nothing too long that cannot be summarized within 3 lines of talk. This show should've been made as an indie movie, but if it were, it would've been bashed so hard.
The show was ruined the moment we realized there is an actual antagonist, we knew how it's all gonna end. Moreover, our main character is so one-dimensional, and suffers from teen issues that the show never investigates but seems to encourage in a deeper layer without even knowing it. Let alone the weird stereotypes for literally every personage there is; russians, average american adopters, orphans, shopkeepers..etc. The acting was average at best, regardless to some really promising figures.
There are so many unnecessary things, like when our main protagonist underwent the unfortunate event of menstruation. Or when the oprhan janitor is ALWAYS grumpy for no reason (and we never get to know why). How is a girl always let to be playing in the basement every time but gets away with it ? There are so many other questions that remain uncharted and therefore weakens the overall structure of this show.
Just skip it, you won't miss a thing. 2/10
