Definitely a teen show, but not the worst out there. I personally found the acting a little obvious at times, but it seemed to improve as it went on.
My main problem: the show completely glorifies shoplifting. If people debated whether 13 Reasons Why glorified suicide, there's no doubt that this show glorifies stealing. There's no sense of real risk, consequences or guilt/regret. So many scenes of the girls very obviously pocketing items in front of security cameras, yet they always get away with it.
Edit: Major spoiler How could I forget the ending. Grounded? Run away from home. Sure, potentially it's a good idea to run away if you're in an abusive or violent household. But Elodie is literally grounded for stealing a car, an sensible and appropriate punishment, so successfully runs away with some wild rockstar type. I think it's a dangerous message. How many emotional teenagers will watch this and be encouraged to run away from home because of something trivial that feels like a big deal at the time?
