The typical "lonely, self deprecating, teenage coming of age" story that I was expecting was not at all what I got. The show is dark, mysterious and charming at the same time. The characters are well thought out and the acting is impeccably on-point. The best part is, the kids, feel like kids.
Shows like Riverdale and 13 Reasons Why complicate their lives like those of adults but this show actually manges to capture some of the things that kids go through. Even the typical "young et feminist" trope doesn't apply to the lead or any of the other female characters as well as the same "nerdy and weird" male characters in the show.
Overall, a brilliant and captivating TV show. Would recommend.
