Pretty Smart

Pass this one up. It is stupid. The acting was just so so, the writing could have been so much better. You can't expect Emily Osment to carry this show. She deserves better than this. Pretty Smart was actually pretty dumb.

There aren't too many good netflix sitcoms so i wasn't expecting much. I'm a fan of emily osment, but she is the only reason I watch. Chelsea's sister is likeable but her friends are annoying and over the top, especially jayden. Right now its a good time pacfier but nothing special.

I wasn't really convinced on the first EP with all the characters being dumb and annoying but when the drama started I actually liked it?? Then the first EP made me laugh a few times then the next episodes made me laugh more. I like how they doesn't over use the laugh track and don't use it at all in serious moments. I know this show may not be for everyone but for me personally it's fun and good I had a great time.

I know that this show is not for everyone but I enjoyed it. The first episode is cringy I'm the sister based on their reactions then when the drama started it got better and I actually liked the characters. I watched all 10 episodes and I need a second season. Its just my opinion I really liked it.

Okay, so shoot me, but I liked it. It's clearly meant as non-pretentious fun, the setting is fairly original (an intelligent person who becomes part of a more trivial-minded group of friends), and in the end there are some nice morals to go, like doing away with prejudices about less smart people (see for instance how jock Grant in fact was a source of practical wisdom).

I agree with several reviewers that the laugh track is extremely annoying, if they would get rid of it, it would immediately lift the show to a better level. And the Jayden character is a bit too hysterically gay (being gay myself, I dare to say so). But it is a nice touch to make this little group so extremely diverse, yet so strongly connected. The writers created some clever cliff-hangers at the end of every episode, and although the quality of acting maybe didn't have the highest priority, I gradually developed a soft spot for the characters played by beautiful and sweet Olivia Macklin and stunningly built yet cute as a puppy Gregg Sulkin, in my opinion they did a great job.
