The show is a bit of a mess and that's thanks to enormous plot holes and what the show chooses to focus on. I've read other reviews but after I was done watching the series. This isn't some slow burn. You find out the main premise of the show in the second episode and it's not explored with any satisfying conclusion. This isn't an intellectual mind bender or deep and thought-provoking series. The main characters are high school teenagers. June, the girl who just turned 16, and her boyfriend Harry, who is also in high school, make bad mistakes but the adults rarely question their actions or infinite admissions of forever love. That's perhaps one of the weakest parts of the series. The series over focuses on their relationship which made me think, correctly, that things between them wouldn't end well. The other weak part of the show is the police angle. Harry's mom is a cop and is central to locating them. But she wants to solve a mystery and it's very weak. There's also no way that even if the mystery is solved that a case can ever go to trial. No way.
The scenery is beautiful and the acting is really solid. The central mystery isn't really covered with much depth. You really don't learn much about why June is the way she is and how it happened. All you get are theories. The villain in the show is way too obvious. Everything that happens, including the romance, is ridiculously coincidental which means there is something to it and of course there is. The kids run away and luck into everything. They are insanely trusting even after they've been nearly kidnapped, drugged, lied to, stalked, and more. June's family tracks them down even after they lost their first place to stay. And they only find them because things had to work out perfectly in order for them to be found. The finale of the season was terrible. Every dumb thing that could happen happened. It's like a horror movie when you say don't go in there but the victim goes in anyway. That's how the finale goes. This show is very frustrating. It has potential but it never delivers. You just knew it would end the way it did.
