Le lycée des secrets

My love for mysteries made me sit through the whole thing. The acting was ok as Lifetime movies go but lacked any known teen TV actors they usually have. The actors made the best of a badly written story with far too many "who says that?" moments.

Autumn Bailey is the new kid at school. She and her mother left New York after the death of her father. She is befriended by Kara who shares a hatred of cheerleaders. Kara recruits her for the school newspaper to go undercover in the cheerleading squad. In addition to mean girls drama, there is more to uncover.

This is a Lifetime TV drama. It's a rather bland mystery drama with various issues. I don't mind the mean girl drama but it's not the most original. The mystery part has its own issue. It needs to be better written. First, Autumn should be the obvious rat of the newbies. She's the new kid at school and they first noticed her when she's talking to the nemesis Kara. The girls are functional actors. The twist is not the most ingenous but it's acceptable. This is flawed but there are worst on Lifetime.

Yawn through the character development scenes. Yawn through the build-up. Yawn during the climax. The premise was decent, but the script didn't deliver on it. Reminds me a lot of my first girlfriend: talked a good game, but never really got around to banging.

All the leads were in their late 20's and the lead 31!!! Not weird at all!!! A train wreck and no appropriate. Watched 10 mins. Couldn't stand any more.

A shallow soap opera for a targeted teenage high school audience. The kids want to pull a fast one on the absentee mom and similar to the old Disney story line, trouble ensues. Is this a mystery worth solving? Not at all, unless you are a paid babysitter to a bunch of spoiled brats.

I give it a boring 4 out of 10 IMDB rating.
