Of course the story is cringe and the drama is over the top but that's what you expect (and want?) from a teen show.
What is really bothering me (apart from the main character's name Ruby Bell, but that's blamed on the books) is the music. It should have been used way more subtly. Like the background music is always at full volume, decreases maybe at voiceovers but gets at full blast without any transition.
Oh and the voiceovers .... If they just consist of generic calendar mottos, then maybe there should not be any at all.
The director focuses a bit too much on facial expressions. But the acting is mostly really enjoyable and the cast in general is very well picked.
Best character is doubtlessly Alistair!
