Let introduce myself as a college educated septuagenarian, raised in a conservative family that attended Catholic universities for my BA, MBA and ME, I'm still getting acustomed to same gender couples, hate heavy metal and rap and I'm against the liberal arms commerce the USA has, which has caused rampant violence in my country. Also, albeit a fan of solid SciFi since my teens; I'm not even remotely a fan of horror films.
Thus. having set the reference frame for my comment I'll say that I liked the series. Sure it's oriented to teens; guess my grandkids will love it, but even so I could find enough adult, family points of view to relate to the adult characters.
The first chapters probably fail to hook you straight on but once you get to 3d base you won't drop it. It certainly is worth a try if you can free yourself from preconceived criteria,
The last half is fast paced and has a lot of gripping issues. Good charachters turn not to be so good and bad ones will make you warm up to them. Lots of surprise elements and twists. Lots of open --and interesting- venues to be explored and hopefilly resolved in the coming chapters too.
Closing chapter is good; plausible within the premises of the series and leaves you ready for the next season. Plenty of material for some good penmanship.
