Reviews

Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
