I really don't like laugh tracks so that made it very hard to watch

I initially dropped the show, but decided to "get over myself" and finish it off anyway, thinking that I was just having this sentiment due to the laugh track and I should still give it a chance. Unfortunately, it turned out to be just as the title suggests—so not worth it.

The series, set in an international dormitory sounded really intriguing, it had a lot of potential with its diverse cast and comedic premise. However, the execution fell short, leading to a rather frustrating viewing experience. The humor often felt forced, making me roll my eyes lol, although I need to mention that I probably missed a lot of the inside jokes that other reviewers are talking about. After a while I finally managed to blend out the constant use of the laugh track, but still it was distracting and only highlighted the lack of genuine comedy in many scenes. The character development was inconsistent.

Despite some actually funny moments and a few likable characters, the overall narrative was disjointed and lacked depth. The show’s attempts at addressing cultural differences and friendships often came off as superficial.

In the end, while "So Not Worth It" had some redeeming qualities, the annoying aspects, including the overused laugh track and lack of coherence, made it a disappointing watch. The music was not bad ◡̈
