The series is pretty good. Most of the actors are spot on, all the kids are wonderful. The writing is decent and direction impactful. They have really captured the 90s well. The only failing of the show is casting two terribly wrong actors for perhaps the most important characters as its with them the story moves forward. This is the worst of Kerry Washington and Huang Lu hasn't done justice to her role either. Kw seems to have perfected her trembling and making that one annoying af face in the mirror, and no matter what the situation, she pulls the same trick out.. every show, every character, no exceptions. She is deeply unlikable as Mia and so you just can't root for her character. The producers really did drop the ball with casting someone with such limited emotional range. If you can ignore her atrocious presence, the series itself is pretty decent. On the bright side, Lexie Underwood as pearl is pitch perfect. What a bright star!!
