The premise behind this show is interesting enough, but the writers did a poor job adapting it for TV. I think it has mostly to do with poor writing when it comes to the characters.
The actors do their best with what they've been given, but that isn't much. The kids are given the full range of emotions that's expected from kids in shows like this, which means they have three settings: belligerence, sass, and angst. Such exaggeration works in comics, but on the screen it results in flat and unlikeable characters with dialogue that sounds rather forced.
Maybe things will pick up further in the season, or in the next one. For now, try the comic this was based on.
