Bad Behaviour (2023)
3/10
Sloooooow and terribly uninteresting...
11 April 2023
I only made it through 2 episodes.. it's slow. EXCEPTIONALLY slow.

The "bad behavior" is simply teenage girls at a boarding school being "mean girls" nothing more. There was nothing really engaging or exciting. Perhaps one needs to have been a bullied teenage girl for this to series to matter. Watching from the outside it's really rather drab and unentertaining.

Acting is sub-par. Dialog delivery is just odd in places.. weird pauses for seemingly "dramatic effect"... a la.. "I .... .... ... have to get going." No one actually speaks like that. Overall the entire series feels like it was written, directed, filmed and acted by individuals who were half-asleep and lacked ANY type of real-world vigor or "life".

After nearly two episodes the story is still rather unclear. There doesn't appear to be a direct cohesive storyline. It's merely a collection of events strung together. And the primary focus, oddly, seems to be sexual fluidity overall. It's not outspoken or prominent. But that really seems to be the only "unique" aspect here. As if a series of rather standard events are made more interesting by non-gender-normative characters - they aren't. People, regardless of any gender fluidity, are still people - and the events are still pretty much the same.

I watched 50% of this and could not, for the life of me, see why it warranted watching the remaining 50%.
