Red Rose

The Lead actress playing Rochelle Mason gives off strong Tatiana Maslany / Orphan Black vibes, while Amelia Clarkson and the rest of the "Scooby Gang" provide a watchable live action version of the eponymous cartoon, albeit with a much more serious and violent tone. All the parents, unfortunately, suffer from teenage drama parent syndrome, meaning, that, other than Adam Nagaitis' Dad, Rick, they are all pretty much NPC's there to say, "you better not", and then give comforting hugs when things predictably go pear shaped, and characters start assuming room temperature through the nefarious actions of the nameless, faceless baddies. Jaya Rabheru is watchable as the cliched' resident nerd clique outsider, turned indispensable heroine, due to her formidable puter' skilz', and, we even have a "body positivity" love(ish) story thrown in for good measure, that, actually is kind of cute and charming. Overall, quite watchable, and, they left it open ended enough for a probable second series, though, prolly not with the same cast.

worst soundtrack i've ever heard
