I stumbled across this show on Hulu and just jumped into it looking for something easy to watch. I didn't expect this to be as entertaining or funny as it was. It's pretty straightforward: it's a sci-fi buddy comedy in the same vein of Bill & Ted or The Mighty Boosh except our comedic duo are 2 teenage girls. You might not like them the first few episodes but give them the full season and they'll grow on you. It's super silly, highly self aware, doesn't take itself seriously at all and makes fun of all things sci-fi. I only can see this show not working for some if you find the 2 leads to be unlikable or if the meta humor just isn't your cup of tea. But if you go into this just looking to laugh and can commit to the ten 30 minute episodes then I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Even if you haven't seen the original film, I don't see how anything past the first 2 episodes would qualify as good.

The writing is amateurish. Anyone saying "this is how teenagers talk" has actually not been around teenagers enough. The characters are incredibly unlikable or just say the dumbest things to the point I'm just waiting to see the cast get knocked off one by one. But then the kills are barely there after episode 2. Every death after that happens off screen. The jumbling flashbacks at every point make the story incoherent to follow. And don't get me started on the lead playing 2 roles that are barely distinguishable as if they went "cut!", she switched positions and then they yell "action!" for her to play the other role.

It's like the people behind this' intent was to take a property known as a slasher film & try to make it into a Freeform type teen drama. Problem is it doesn't seem like they know how to even write that kind of material. This show is just not excusably good at all & a waste of time. If you're thinking of watching this for Halloween find something else.
