Great Chemistry Between the Characters, But Not A Great Plot

Ultimately, this was pretty cute and quick to watch, though there wasn’t much substance to it. There really wasn’t a tangible storyline followed through the show, which made the scenes feel sort of disconnected. Even the final conflict felt really contrived and forced, especially with how quickly it was ultimately resolved.

The acting felt pretty subpar— honestly, the only actor I thought gave a good performance the entire time was Gun. All of the others were really hit or miss, though I’m not sure how much of that is on the actors or the script itself. I’m leaning more towards the script, since even Off’s performance wasn’t great in the beginning and I’ve seen him in other shows enough to know he’s a better actor than this.

The first couple episodes were especially rough, script-wise. The scenes felt incredibly stilted and unnatural— the conversations didn’t flow well or feel real in any way. And the plot of the first couple episodes was so bizarre and nonsensical?? WHY did Porsche and Pick just follow Emma and Rome around the mall all day? They weren’t trying to talk to them, and it served the story nothing besides freaking the juniors out. Same with Porsche dressing up like a dog and then just mutely following Emma around the school— it just felt like they were going for funny and quirky so hard that they completely bypassed any logic.

By the third episode, it improved enough to be enjoyable. I started being able to see the chemistry between Porsche/Emma and Pick/Rome enough to feel invested, and even though the scenes still felt disconnected and just not a full story I was able to enjoy watching it. It would have done well to be a longer series so things could have been fleshed out a bit more— it might have made the story work better if there was more time.

All in all, it was cute and fun and it had enough puppies and kitties to keep me satisfied. Definitely not my favorite show I've watched, but it was still a good time.
