Lea gets a lot of flak because she has often been less than stellar as a person. Many find her to be quite a bit#h and two faced. Others don't like her acting.
1. NO way she looks like a sophomore in hs. She sounds wonderful, but her acting is not great.
2. The whole show is one big stereotype after another, the characters, the situation, even the theme: be who you are!
3. And the writing was horrific.
And before anyone jumps on me: I said origianlly I thought it sounded stupid but would be willing to give it a try. After seeing the trailer, I said it looked pretty funny and definitely better that I assumed. Watching it: I was bored and found myself rolling my eyes constantly.
I am shocked at the good press this is receiving, but I will stand by MY origianl statement: I don't think it will find enough of an audience to be a long term success. The word is that 13 episodes have already been ordered, we'll see how far it goes.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
