A LOT of problems with this show...
Firstly, I want to start off by saying it's awesome that they actually deal with the topic of abortion, and they don't portray it as some evil, life ruining thing. If shows in America so much as mention abortion in a non-negative light, they get cancelled (see: Moral Orel).
Now I wanted to like this show, I really did. But I can't escape from the fact that:
1. Almost all the characters are completely one-dimensional, or just plain boring/lacking depth. Where there has been ample opportunity for character development, they have instead chosen to throw in petty, predictable drama.
2. Nearly all the younger characters witnessed someone being raped on multiple occasions and DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. This is hard to forget and actually makes me dislike all of them. Those events completely undermined any chance of me giving a *beep* how any of them feel.
3. Another thing that worsens the above situation: they keep hanging around with rapists. Is there really no other group they could run around with? From what I remember in the movie, the girls eventually moved on and denounced the whole scene. They stopped hanging around those guys. In the show, they've continued hanging about, which leaves a lot of issues even more open-ended, i.e. the repeated gang rape of that girl. What's most puzzling is she seems to have disappeared. It's almost as though she didn't really matter. She was just there for Debbie and Sue to have their moment of being heroic (or as most people would call it: common decency) before things more less went back to being the same.
All this leaves me thinking is, the movie should have just stayed a movie. If they remade it, that would've been fine. Turning it into a show has resulted in some lackluster story lines.
