I haven't read the books and was searching deliberately for some light teenie supernatural series.
Even with my low expectations, this series falls short. It's boring and clichéd. Cliché can be done well, but this isn't it.
Rarely do the cookie cutter Hollywood-pretty characters stand out or feel real.
The plot is your standard "orphaned teenie moves into town, discovers superpowers, needs to unravel mysteries with a group of other supernatural teenies" variety. The group is flavourless (except for Faye, the only one with a more 3D personality), the love triangle makes me yawn and the mysteries deliver only half of the time.
The adults are more interesting than the kids.
Well... stick to Gossip Girl or Vampire Diaries if you really need some teenie fluff series, or look up some lists on IMDb if you want something better fleshed out.
