Heart stopping.

Like almost every high school tv show (rated 13+ and drama filled) there's a threat of a possible school shooter. Nick is upset about the kiss between Mariana and Matt and brings a gun to school. However he was not found. Except a couple shots were fired from someone just not Nick. There were times that just made me tear up. They portrayed this very well and the actors and actresses did a great job. This has to be one of the best episodes this season. Definitely in my top 10.

SEASON 4.. Don't watch if you loved the first 3 seasons

I binge-watched the show and really loved it.

Until Season 4.

People making the same mistakes over and over again. Not only the kids but also the parents (especially their actions as cops). Every episode most of the characters got me irritated more and more until I even stopped caring about them.

By the end I felt only sympathy for the boys and Mike. I will probably watch season 5 in the hope my good feelings about this show will return.

Apart from that the police accusations seem completely absurd.

Mike gets an internal investigation and risks getting fired because he shot a drug addict, that was high and just shot a police officer, 'because he was unarmed' ??? How could Mike have known that the shooter (who was behind the corner) dropped the gun (by accident) ? And that in the USA where cops shoot people in the back when they run and even children with toy guns on the street.

Also the fact that the driver who caused an accident does not get arrested for a hit and run (because he went to the hospital for a few scratches and to the police hours later) , but the passenger who called 911 and goes to the police at the same time gets arrested ???

I know that there would't be a story without the drama, but I wish they had just ended the show in a beautiful way after 3 seasons.
