I mean, why not hire an actor who looks at least in his 20s or early 30s? The first episode, at the first appearance of the boyfriend, we thought, "Is it parents weekend at her college?" On top of that, he doesn't exude any charisma or the twisty, evil seductiveness I think he's supposed to possess. Another review mentioned how, for this type of series, an attractive bad-boy lead is absolutely key. They're totally right. The lead in this case, kills interest. (Also wasn't at all drawn in by the lead actress. We're continually told she's an "ice queen" yet she's pretty open and amiable to her new college friends. Didn't really get a sense of her personality much beyond that she doesn't like her mom.)
