[QUOTE="Marika, post: 236658, member: 721"] I've just finished episode 8, and now I understand why the show failed – it lacks any shocking, "Oh my God, they didn't" moments. Everything that's supposed to be "shocking" had been foreshadowed for at least a couple of episodes. For a show targeted at a younger audience, it is also quite dialogue-heavy, gloomy and very static. That's not bad per se, but it reminds me of a daytime soap, just with better production values. It also lacks characters the audience can root for as everyone is a selfish bitch. Even the supposed "good" characters like Peter, Linda, Gil and Nikki just care about their own well-being. Stephanie sits on a high horse, but in reality, she is just as rotten as Carrie and Rachel. A good soap should provide a mix of nasty bitches and trashy fun, but this is just too much evilness and quite repetitive at that. [/QUOTE]
