the audience applauded

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The first must-see film of the year.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I saw a prior comment that said that this shows target audience is teenagers. I disagree. I'm 51 and I fully enjoy it. I did watch both Laguna Beach and The Hills back in their day... This show definitely Has that same feel. It was a little slow the first few episodes. But one I got to know the characters/cast a bit I was then fully invested and I look forward to it each week!

I gave it a 7 because it is well done in it's genre. There is work in this and I have to respect that. It is targeted towards 12 to 16 years old girl youngsters who have dreams and like the drama. They will love to hate some characters and have favorites. The music is generic pop-style. I can't find anything wrong with it besides that it wasn't targeted for me and would hate people to bash it for that reason. I do not work for for the TV business and often smash other TV shows for good reasons but this wasn't one of them.
