I assume like many, I've only see Jacob Batalon in support roles and his parts weren't really enough to let show if he's a good actor or not. But he deserves better than this, at some point I thought maybe cashing in some cheques but marvel money must be better than that. I guess he was hunting a leading role, I just think he could've had better options because this wasn't it. I hate it when people talk down on a series/movie in a review by just calling it trash, worst thing they seen all year, waste of an hour bla bla without actually saying why and talking about the show. So, the script is so bad and feels unimaginative, dialogue is often cliche and scenes hard to believe sometimes, like the prayer. Sure the feelings might be genuine but it felt off saying it aloud. The sets and costumes look like minimal effort was put into them; I remember my sister used to watch "lazy town", I think that's what it was called, and some the visuals and sets are reminiscent of that. It also also not as dramatic as it's put out to be. I guess it'd be hard for actors to make this script work, but it's one of those shows were you can see in every scene that they're trying to act, it doesn't come off natural. I'm finding it hard to see how this was actually green lit by the studio, or how jacob's team decided going from his MCU roles to taking up this role would be good for his career. The two reviews already on here are pretty positive so to each their own I guess. Actually just look at the rating graph and see how the 1 star ratings are piled up. This show probably got on your radar because of Jacob Batalon and it might be good to see him in a leading role but he deserves much better than this. At least that's what I would want if I was a fan of his.
