I love the quirkiness of the show, and it's obviously carried by Steve Martin and Martin Short. I'm sure there aren't as many roles out there for older comedians like them, but they definitely deserve this chance to shine. And it's nice to see a series like this doing something out of the ordinary. The premise of season three with them putting on a Broadway show was a great choice. Meryl adds a lot, as you would expect. So does the supporting cast. I laughed out loud at some scenes. But I am so tired of Selena's monotone voice and non-acting. It's so distracting. I wish they could replace her with someone else and keep the show going.

Second season disappoints

I loved the first season of this show. It's a fun, bingeable, teen-angsty series. The setting creates an environment you can escape into. The teens were also very well-cast and engaging to watch. The adults not so much, but that could be overlooked. However, this second season drags. Everything just seems sad. It lacks complexity and all the color of the first season. Their cousin is also such a bad actor it's distracting. If there is a third season, I would love to keep watching if they're able to rebound and get back to the energy of the first season. But maybe the "will they, won't they?" drama has played itself out...
