The casting and scripting on this show is quite weak.. and distractingly so. I liked OB because it was less childish with its content, even though it was highly diverse.. and the characters and script were engaging and solid. This is a weak gender-absent sibling with rediculous scripting such as "a health center rooted from social justice.." Ritter looks and feels like Jessica Jones for the most part. The lesbian love story is fine I guess, and I was interested to see it through, but the sociopolitical pandering smothers the execution to be a sloppy affair. The future bits look 5 years older than today, minus an occasional cgi backdrop or set gimmick. Still, it carries some spirit and occasional nod or guest appearance towards the original show, and it has the ghost of the same feel to it.. its just not near as good, unfortunately..
