Terrible except for the ending

This one is about a drug problem at a high school.

This plot has been seen many times before on various TV shows and there's nothing new or compelling here, and these high school kids are not good actors as they're wooden and their dialogue is corny and seems forced. They're awfully dumb at times too.

Ryker is once again incredibly annoying as he's yelling everything for no reason.

The opening scene where the student is on the roof is pretty good and the action scene at the end is intense and exciting and definitely worth seeing but everything in between is tedious and uninteresting. There are no chases of any kind.

It's no surprise that both episodes so far this season have been lousy and that's because in both of them, kids take center stage and have most of the dialogue and dominate most of the scenes, and whenever that happens, the episode goes down the toilet because kids can't carry an episode. It's been tried many times and it never works and it certainly doesn't here.

This is a real downer.
