Anyone But Me

The premise of this is good, but it's the forced acting that gets in the way. An episode that lasts just a few short minutes should have well executed lines and hone in on making the scene believable. The episode when Vivian arrives at her Aunt Jody's fell short by a hundred miles. I stopped watching part way into the episode where Vivian reconnects with her childhood friend that lives next door to Aunt Jody because of the painful acting going on by everyone. And the casting seems off kilter. It's difficult to see these main characters, Aster and Vivian, as sixteen year olds in high school; they seem older, a bit too comfortable in surrounding that should be more emotionally charged, emotionally unsettling. Aster and Vivian aren't the only ones in the "seems off" category. The other students, especially the neighbor girl's boyfriend, look like they walked out of an eighties series, kept on aging but still have that not-quite-a-polished-star quirkiness. To the producer/director/writers: if you're going down the "out and proud" scene, making homosexuality something that's not icky and relegated to being kept behind closed doors, then it needs to be done skillfully. Just because we have two girls kissing passionately doesn't necessarily take this over to the edgy side where it needs to be. You have fifteen minutes in which to make mountains move, get on with it. Make everything count. Charge your scenes and give us true sixteen year old unbridled emotions!

Does anyone know what the song playing in the Hulu-created preview is? Sounds like simple divided guitar strumming with some bass.
Thanks
