As someone who has never watched the original, I was going into this blind, and must I say, I was quite disappointed as a whole. While yes, the show has potential, it was just executed TERRIBLY.
The show sets on good topics, but, like I said the execution of the topics are terrible. They show LGBT+ as stereotypical greedy/rude people almost immediately with the characters Michael and (I don't even know if he has a name) but Make-up boy, which reminds me of James Charles. The characters overall are generally dislikable with no general reason to like them, Penny's friends are honestly just fake. They try to make it more modern and use 'modern' slang that I wouldn't even consider modern as not much people even use them anymore. The slang consists of, "bae" and other things that even I wouldn't use.
My sister put this on without me even knowing what it was, the amount of cringe I had to endure was insane. I decided to look up the series and found that it is generally terrible and so I decided to look at the reviews and see if it is what people say. While I will say that it's ok to watch when you are severally bored, the cringe is just terrible..
