Of course the story is cringe and the drama is over the top but that's what you expect (and want?) from a teen show.
What is really bothering me (apart from the main character's name Ruby Bell, but that's blamed on the books) is the music. It should have been used way more subtly. Like the background music is always at full volume, decreases maybe at voiceovers but gets at full blast without any transition.
Oh and the voiceovers .... If they just consist of generic calendar mottos, then maybe there should not be any at all.
The director focuses a bit too much on facial expressions. But the acting is mostly really enjoyable and the cast in general is very well picked.
Best character is doubtlessly Alistair!

Good things first: the CGI, the world's realisation, the element-bending as well as the fight scenes are extraordinarily good. In general, the visuals are simply fascinating, you can definitely see the effort there.
But the dialogue, the acting and some directing choices were too poor to actually enjoy the show.
The script is awful. Nearly every character expresses itself in an unnatural, vague, prose-like manner. There is no friendship-bonding between these superficial lines, in fact, you do not even get attached to the characters as a viewer. Moreover, the series relies way too much on exposition than actually taking action. Important plot elements happen off-screen, details get explained by characters who happen to be omniscient or major plot points/ plot twists appear underwhelming and far from epic.
The actors' line delivery is so unconvincing, I simply cannot understand some casting choices. Face expressions and emotions are non-existent and there is zero chemistry, charm or easiness to the characters. Due to this lack of charisma, originally goofy characters turn cringe and villains do not feel like serious villains.
The camera work sometimes really highlights the lack of acting since there are way too many close-ups of unauthentic face expressions. The director loves these close-ups especially at the end of EVERY. SCENE. When a character states something totally meaningless but in a kind of poetic way, accompanied with way too loud music.
The soundtrack itself is very pleasant and my personal highlight was the short intro which differs from episode to episode. But that's it, nothing to recommend.

First and foremost, this was very good film making. It was an emotional rollercoaster bringing me to tears, putting me in rage, leaving me desperate regarding mankind.
The story is based on the true story of the infamous Central Park Five, who would be found guilty and jailed for a brutal attack against a woman. The series focuses less on the trial itself, but rather on each individual, their familial situation, their time in prison and how they are coping afterwards. You get extremely attached to the characters and even though they do not always appear as saints you are rooting for them and may be screaming at the screen regarding this huge injustice the five boys faced.
The acting was on point, young and adult actors alike and the dramaturgy was well executed. Nevertheless, it just leaves you speechless and powerless knowing their and many others' fate lie in the hands of unconscionable superior individuals.
