I'm in my mid 20's so I assume this show is trying to speak to me. There's a certain part of me that loves watching the endless attempts to capture the spirit of the modern youth, and I guess this isn't a bad representation of that. I know lots of people like this: self-important, not funny, walking embodiments of stereotypes. They've succeeded in showing that. But why would I want to watch a show about those people? Plus, I've never seen so many bad cliches packed into 5 minutes as I just did watching this. The nice guy best friend in love with the girl who doesn't like him back? Whoa! The two trust fund kids arguing about whose dad's credit card to charge? Amazing insight! Some random strange introduction of a refugee from Ghana. Just... confusing. But maybe since they don't have much talent for creating round, interesting characters or compelling storylines, the creators will make the format revolve around a bunch of new-fangled high technamalogy that the kids are sure to get. Blogs! Craigslist! Oh man, this show sucks. But so does most of our generation. On a whole, we're childlike, uninteresting, narcissists. Maybe that's why all the shows about it fail. I gave it two stars because even still, it's better than "Two and a Half Men."

This show is a remake of the 1990s cult classic, "My So-Called Life". However, the original show was WAY better than this hollow rip-off. Why all the re-makes of good shows from the past? Has creativity become extinct????

Why did u give it 3 stars then? (Yes you will notice after doing a little research that I did write and direct it)...You will also note I also gave it 3 stars.

With this type of exposure on the line, I would expect anyone with an eternally-expandable premise to spend at least ten more minutes in making this pilot less of a disappointment.After watching the first episode, I don't expect or hope for anything that isn't cliche or shark-jumped. It's not a terrible show, it's just not that good. And if you consider the budget (>$100), you'd expect anyone with a good idea to exploit the opportunity to be hosted on a site like hulu.com.The only problem is, though, that this is not a good idea. This is a huge problem, considering that I'm the intended demographic and subject. To the creators: Shame on you. I hope you never get another big break, which this is.
