6/10
It's okay, but could be better

I liked this show, but I would also love to rewrite the whole thing. Season 1 actually is really good, especially near the end. I enjoyed it a lot. Season 2 is okay, although not better than Season 1. I just felt like they made some decisions that made no sense.

Chet and Bret's B-plots are so hard to get through, they are genuinely annoying and a their characters feel like a blatant "let's try to appeal to young boys watching our show" because the show stars two teen girls. They serve no other purpose and if they didn't exist as characters I wouldn't be sad about it.

Naldo was also flanderized pretty quickly into the dumb guy trope and was the most second annoying one for me, behind Bret and Chet.

And why did Barry have a whole "I love you Marcy and I won't break up with you, we're meant to be together" plotline, only for Marcy to disappear in Season 2? I loved Barry and Marcy. In Season 2, Barry gets an unnecessary love story with Daisy instead and in my opinion they had no chemistry. Also, if Marcy's actress had to leave for another show, why not explain that way by mentioning that Marcy had to move instead of acting like she never existed?

Other than that it's a okay to watch, especially as backgorund noise and if you get past the first few episodes being more mundane ways. Spoiler, they end up going through dystopian timelines to fight a whole evil villain.
