The show often reminds me of a feel-good rom com from the 90s due to the pure, fun loving nature of the trio. However, the show is definitely suited to today's audience with it's references to current societal issues and modern technology such as virtual reality systems. What I really love about the show is that it discusses important and prevalent issues that aren't really talked about. Examples of this include Kat's problem facing online hate/misogyny (which is rather humorous in how true the subject is, even highlighted in some of the comments on YouTube to the show's trailer), and coming to terms with her sexuality. As well as Adena facing harassment due to her ethnicity/religion. But as I stated at the beginning, the main reason why I am already falling in love with this show is because of the girls' friendship. Scenes such as their gatherings in the clothing room, getting excited for each other's achievements, and constantly trying to give support even over the phone when they're not there, are extremely heartwarming (and sometimes hilarious!!) and a pleasant change of scene from some of the distant portrayals of female friendships in the media.
One of the only real issues I have with the show is that I find that the narrative voice in the opening scenes doesn't fit to the show and is often read in a way that is detached/ not flowing well. I'm not sure if that's just Freeform's narrator, but I believe that the show would work better if it was read by one of the trio (maybe in turn) or Jacqueline.
