I found myself watching this show because the title seemed interesting as well as the back story. The Greenhouse Academy is filled mostly with students who don't view themselves higher than other people or special. Not really snobby or stuck up. After watching this show, those qualities throughout most of the students is something that I came to like. One thing I wanted to point out was the contrast between Haley and Alex with the rest of the student body. It allowed the viewers to get a different perspective of the school. I liked that perspective and it's a major reason why I continued to watch the show despite the mostly predictable story-line the show has.
The more episodes I watched the more predictable the show became. Some of the conflicts and resolutions some of the characters made and had to resolve was a big part of it. One thing that helped me see how predictable the story-line was is one of the labels of the show being a "high school drama" in my opinion. I could tell this as I saw the relationships between Leo and Haley, Alex and Brooke, Daniel and Brooke, Sam and Jackie and Emma and Sam. I could easily pinpoint how ALMOST all of these relationships played out. However, I was thrown off of the predictable story-line during Episodes 11 and 12. Something I will get to soon.
I want to reflect on some of the conflicts shown throughout the first season. One is the Dean and Emma. Emma, manipulated, decided to follow her dreams of attending the Greenhouse Academy despite knowing what she was really getting herself into. And this all backfired during the last 4 episodes of the season. The whole buildup was really interesting and I enjoyed that part of the show. Another conflict I wanted to talk about is the bigger picture that will probably shape the next season. This being the truth about Dr. Ryan's death. The way the show tackled this is another reason I continued to watch the show and will probably season the second season. Some characters were a part of the conflict. Even people who I didn't expect at all such as some of the students and faculty at Greenhouse. Both Emma and her relationship to the antagonists of the season are what kept me watching the show. Without them, I would have given a lower rating.
Lastly, before I wrap up I do want to comment on the predictable story-line took a turn I did not expect in the last two episodes. I think it's important to note these two moments in the first season along with a spoiler warning. The first thing I wanted to mention was the fact that Leo girlfriend, Aspen, showed up out of nowhere. My jaw literally dropped. I did not expect it, but I'm glad it happened. Even though this conflict might be predictable, I have faith the writers might be able to muster something up in the second season. I look forward to seeing a triangle with Leo, Haley, and Aspen at the three points. The other moment I wanted I wanted to bring up was Dr. Ryan laying unconscious in a bed in the "cave" near a beach by Greenhouse Academy. This was another jaw-dropping moment and it threw me off. This is going to be another major pointer in season two, but Daniel's mom has control over all that, so it will be interesting and will definitely be a great support to the plot in season two. In conclusion, I liked the show and I like it enough to see season two based on how I was throw off after the last 2 episodes.
