This is one of the single worst things I've ever seen on television. We began it and I almost never stop watching something I started so we plowed through to the end. (I slept through most of episode 8.) The writing screams "first draft", an untold number of camera setups in each episode, largely pathetic hammy acting in particular by the actor playing Vivian, cheesy, cliched scenes and absolutely no reason to be nine episodes (10.5 hours long). It was like the longest after school special you've ever watched--kids, believe in yourself and be nice to your friends. The end.
