Let's start with the TERRIBLE initial premise - a girl and her boyfriend want to steal a gem so they can "be rich and escape", which is bland at best and just plain boring at worst, they could have done SO much more with just the initial concept, but someone went for the lowest common denominator
Mix in some GREAT actors, and some who are monotone, bland and couldn't show emotion if you put a gun to their head (the main actress is a classic example for this) - the story also spins way out into different directions that would have made a MUCH better main premise, but alas, the side stories don't seem fleshed out enough (yet)
The main character, a nanny to a rich guy, seems to swing by on luck, supposed charm and her looks - anyone with two brain cells to rub together would see through her flimsy as paper explanations, but the other characters seem to swallow it hook, line & sinker, her boyfriend turns out to be a police detective with a good job, so why would he need to "run away"??? - she also (without explanation of how) gets a friend a job as the doorman... he literally shows up in one episode & they say she got him the job, no further detail
Add in some mistery in the basement where some secret information is held, no explanation of how they managed to find out about this "lost" info, but she manages to work it out, being the greatest detective in the world (think Sherlock, but female and no personality)
Some sex gets added as a teenage resident "falls in love" with the new doorman (wow, she goes to school with other rich guys, but thinks a poor latino guy is her "perfect match"), the other nannies pair off - a boy nanny and a girl one, and 2 of the female ones, where we see more kissing than ANY interaction of the straight couples - it's almost as though the director has a kink for seeing teen girls kissing :P
Overall, so far (7 episodes in) there's no explanation of how she gets 99% of her information, and her "deductive skills" appear to be only evident when she finds things, not when she's talking or explaining things to others - it's like they couldn't find a way to progress the "mistery" without her being able to pull information out of the air!!!
Overall, this is a concept that could have been exceoptional, but bad writing, bad casting, followed by bad acting just drag it down - I have it on as "background" while I'm trying to do other things - there are maybe a couple of points where it tries to grab your attention, but then it just loses it
Should you watch this? If you're doing nothing else, why not... Should you go out of your way to watch it, don't bother, unless you like bad acting & bad writing.
