Was too dragged out

I played the game "Detention", the tv show was absolutely nowhere near scary and the interesting parts were only at the start and the last 2 episodes. Everything else felt SO dragged out with constant time loops mixed with confusion. My main emotion was "What the hell is going on now?"

I got annoyed by main girl staying quiet almost the whole show, NEVER stood up for herself and waits for her ghost friend to help her out. Her whole personality is literally an "empty shell". I would have liked to see romance develop between her and classmate yet we got bullshit forbidden crush story. The owner son is such a creep and it makes you wonder why the hell does main girl even like him? They make her have a crush on him in order to show us how "history repeats" but that isn't even close cause the actual guy from 30 years ago was a good guy not small ego creep.

The "villain" girl was more interesting and complex than the main girl ever will be, she was the saving grace of this show. The whole story could have been done in 4 episodes.
