My eyes drift away from it every time Netflix pimps it to my face, the obvious key to this show's success is that it's pretentious hipster shit oozing with Q u I r K e Y feigned sincerity in the form of bland awkwardness & sterile distance with clueless and out of touch "coming of age" story telling posing as cultured and insightful.
Everybody criticizes George Lucas for this kind of writing but anytime it happens without George at the helm, it's acclaimed as genius and for a good example, look no further than that unwatchable shit "Youth in Revolt".
It's literally a story of a runaway teenager who self diagnosed himself with APD. Tumblr the show.
EDIT: I just checked out the first episode and it met every one of my low expectations where the teenagers act overtly precocious and clinically emotionless while the adults act like teenagers, and the British accent is just the cherry on top. It's so fucking surreal and unrealistic the way they think and talk. Why the fuck is it a writing trend now to make teenagers act like fucking aliens? Anyone who says they relate to these non-humans has to be either lying to feel special or a computer. Even the emotional outbursts are too formal to be real.
