"Teenagers all over the world acquire guns and start killing and hurting people and destroying things". Replace "guns" with "magic electric bolts from the hands" and you'll get the premise of this show.
None of the characters is likeable or relatable; at first I thought that the show failed to connect simply because I'm male (and not a teenager anymore), but when I asked my girlfriend she said that while she gets the overall theme, a TV series is also supposed to entertain.
I lost all hope to find good storytelling when Collette's character - supposedly a smart and competent politician - saw a five-second movie clip from Nigeria and believed at once that it was quite real and the solution to her current problems, instead of doubting even for a second that it was made with special effects.
I guess she has not received the scam e-mails from the Nigerian prince yet.
