It's cheesy but the cast is pretty solid and there's plenty of teen melodrama to get all up in your feels. The car side of the show suffers from the same cheese factor but they did try to take it semi seriously while dumbing it down for the non-motorhead segment of the audience. There's a dark episode from the past looming over everything the characters are building and the tension builds pretty nicely along the way. Pretty entertaining and the character arcs were pretty solid if somewhat predictable. For me, the casting was the high point so you got your likable types and your hateable types and they all have just enough depth to avoid dragging the whole thing too far down into the weeds of mediocrity. I was entertained, which is about all you can ask...
