Somehow this show was trying too hard and missed the mark. It should have been great; the music, camerawork, original book etc are all supposed to be great in theory but feel forced in practice. The show doesn't really flow, it cringy some of the time and the acting could be better. It is however a perfectly fine rainy day binge. The whole thing is mildly exciting and definitely beautiful to watch; the sets, actors and costumes are all easy on the eye. As a fan of high school shows and novels I was happy about the show but a bit disappointed. The book was awesome. I however did like the changes that the show made to the storyline. Both stand well on their own. Neither was a murder mystery to me, the solution was obvious from the start but it was nice to see it play out.

The music is nice and the movie is at least colorful. So a fine experience for the eyes and ears but a death to my braincells. It is such a incoherent mess of a script and everyone is so unlikable and childish. Can we please get some less problematic content for teens, please?

Highly entertaining and fun, colorful high school comedy- drama. Really multicultural and well written. Some real life serious issues like culture and being an immigrant. Grief and workplace sexism. Devi, the main character is mostly insufferable and so selfish throughout, but you somehow root for her anyway.
