Show started off well and exciting. I was really disappointed at how badly 3quency treated the 4th girl. Then You meet Characters like Alison. She wouldn't survive a group setting. She doesn't want to be in one unfortunately. She also wouldn't survive a competitive situation with Kindness and poise. She doesn't know how to control her emotions yet and she lacks empathy. Then the constant comments about SZN4 not gelling anesthetically were off putting. To me they looked like 4 kids from the drama department who just like singing. They made sense and are CRAZY talented. Made sense that they gravitate towards each other. They are for the craft. 3quency was great and hype! they had me shook and screaming and excited but when it came to vocals, they weren't as strong. Their performances were saved rather than great all the way. Im afraid the judges chose aesthetic and what they believe would sell based on their experiences from 20 years ago. And they robbed SZN 4 for those reasons. SZN 4 you were consistent, talented, know how to command an audience/ A stage with minimal movement and when you need to move you do. All rounders I hope to see them in the future. I wish 3quency all the best. I know they grow and kill it it. They will make history in their own right. .but even they know the truth here ❤️

I have no more words past; It was perfect my heart is full.

The casting could have been better. But I do understand that Sophia was the only actress with social capital they could use to give this story the attention it deserved. Plus Sophia is likeable so that plays well into the anti hero vibe. The make up and wardrobe was uhhhm... Honestly unnecessary cause Griselda was gorgeous in her youth so they didn't have to make Sophia look like that and they didn't have to darken her skin either cause Griselda was light skinned. The costume, hair and makeup people could have honestly done better. But Sophia did absolutely amazing in that character, she captured my attention from beginning. I connected with Griselda, I was even proud of her at some point, looking at her criminal milestones like they should be celebrated. She really shook the streets up and made money. Her character reminded me a little bit of daenerys (Khaleesi). Especially when she lost it at the end. The movie felt like it was shot in the 70s so that made it more realistic and cool to watch I love that it's a limited series. 5 stars for the movie and the performance. 2 star for the styling.

All these reviews are weird. The family had every right to dislike Mae because she did have sinister intentions and because she lived by a strict social code, that made her dangerous when people made choices outside of her inclusion when she went dress shopping with the cool girls and left Jules, Jules worked it out in her head and let it go. But when Jules makes choices if her own she gets dangerous. The husband should have known better than to talk to Mae that way. How would Mae know officially she was at the house with them when his project burned. Also Mae is having a hard time opening up about the cult so cut her some slack, she's not the right person to ask. I'm so bored that they all didn't realize that they were being targeted from the jump. When a girl from a secret neighborhood runs from them and she's so scared she can't talk. 😴 The mom didn't consider that her teenage girls weren't in a good place in life, in their relationship, new year at school, etc. She just expects them to know how to deal with an extremely abused child who seems psychotic now because of her abused. Her children, her family... Is not trained for that. If this facility existed from the jump that's where she should have sent her. Instead she used her to lick her wounds, put her family in danger and didn't provide Mae the treatment she needed. She was aloof to Mae's misconduct and nothing bores me like a therapist who can't read the room or emotion 🙄. Mae needed empathy and the right kind of help. Teenagers and a stressed husband and an overly bubbly adopted child aren't that. Mae hurt the youngest and she didn't speak about it. Probably because she didn't want to be the adopted child who is suddenly a gate keeper. Susan failed Mae and her children. The husband is a bit emotionally underdeveloped. Because he didn't take accountability at all. And the law should do better when taking in kids. Do interviews with whole family. Just because Susan was willing doesn't mean it was the best thing for Mae and her daughters. The sad thing is, if she had not taken her in... Mae would be back at aimes and dead. We are all missing the trauma Susan put her children through. As a therapist and understanding childhood development. Also the whole cool vs uncool thing is over played in American high school drama. Unrealistic
