Overall, I found this series entertaining. The characters are great, acting is quite good despite the young actors. I found the music pleasing. The pictures were quite well done, even if it could be described as boring at places.
The negative side is the over the top politicization of a teen drama, and it's unrealistic effects on the story. Just to point out the most glaring for me: at the end of the season, there is no way the main character would rather have gone for Ola instead of Maeve. Maeve's character gave a clear indication of attraction, and the main character is clearly attracted to her as well (she should be his first pick). Even despite his inferiority complex, it just seems outside of character for Otis to just move on with an other relationship, when his whole thing was trying to get close to her. The asking for sex from a random girl was believeable compared to this. This is underlined by Oti's supposedly mature speech (again, very unbelieveable from a teen with first love) at the end of the school dance about letting people who can't reciprocitate our feelings go. Sure, people do that, but not in a few weeks. And Ola wasn't shown to be such a strong love interest to make Otis forget about Maeve either. I understand that writers would want something different than happy end to make things interesting, but this is just a ruined orgasm.
