So 2 of stock teen bullshit, and then they start ruthlessly subverting that. And they ratchet up from there. And I'd argue you need those 2 first episodes of cliche teen bullshit to have any sort of foundation before you have small children having psychotic breaks and then killing themselves. You can't just lead with that, you need a baseline to fall from.

Toxxupation is making the right decision and y'all need to stop pretending a CW drama is ever going to be actual drama good. Just because it gets grimdark and someone commits genocide or something doesn't make it good. I know, I missed me too.

If someone doesn't want to give it a shot, I don't give a poo poo. It's not skin off my back. But it's not good because it's "grimdark". It's good because the characters do start out as horribly naive and childish teenagers and then they have to start dealing with the consequences of poo poo really fast. I like it because the character actually develop as people from their annoying YA archetype selves. I like it a lot better than say, LOST, where I felt the characters never actually developed. They just "revealed" more poo poo to us about them. Or course it's not for everyone. The BSG ripoff poo poo on the Ark is definitely the shittiest part of the show. Without a doubt. But it also isn't really the focus. It also doesn't stop being a teen drama. The adult characters are some of the weakest. It stays a teen drama, but it's a good one. The writer know what they are doing, and the amount that little character details stay relevant later is pretty great. The shows ends up having better writing than plenty of other drama's I've watched, regardless of their target demographic. But seriously, if Toxxupation doesn't want to watch it, well, who cares.

I saw a couple of people rank it in their Best of 2015 thread. Same with Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. BBC knocks it out of the park creating these and PBS is smart to snatch them up.

The second season of prison break is every bit as good as the first season. The third season is complete garbage, and the 4th season is like some kind of mission: impossible reboot. The "stand alone" two-part finale is literally the worst thing in the entire show.
