Try not to think of this show as a remake, it's loosely based on the idea and plot of Heathers.
I think this show was really fun! When I first started watching it, the comedy absolutely slapped me in the face. I didn't expect references to political correctness, especially in the context of bullying. Once I accepted it, I loved it.
If you're going to watch this show, please ditch your classic expectations and start with an open mind!
