Guilty Party (2017– )
4/10
A resounding meh.

Warning: Spoilers
At some points, I really enjoyed this show. But all around, I feel like so much potential was wasted. Scenes are overacted to the point of hilarity and the writing is bland. These don't feel like people to me, they feel like stock characters. There are no stakes, because there is no real 'plot.' Things happen, things are insinuated, but nothing really comes of them.

There are also glaring plot holes that make no sense, and some things that don't make sense in general. For example: Preston's face gets plastered around school, with the word 'cheater' overlayed on it. Everyone's first thought? "Oh, he cheated on a test." That's not what a highschooler would think.

The ending makes no sense, and falls flat. Because the series doesn't want to take any huge risks, the characters all stay the same. The plot is resolved, with no real harm done. The end overall makes the time you spend with the series feel like a huge waste.

If you have some time to waste, I say go for it. But there are much better shows out there, especially webshows, that I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
