Why is it so overrated?

I had high hopes.

The story line and world building in the first episode was pretty good. Made an introduction to most of the characters and described the situation a bit in a funny, quirky, weird way.

What I didn't like.
The lack of logic/sense. I understood the obsession in the first part of the story with the exams and having good grades, but after the invasion, what made them think that any faculty would be open if their highschool was the way it was and corpses were a common occurrence?

Also the shelter thing. The logic behind the high number of alien floating bubbles was due to the high population in a certain area. If all of the adults would be somewhere chilling with no care in the world (which also didn't make any sense) , more would appear in that zone.
As well as the frequent, make no sense scenes, like the car key moment that annoyed me the most. Just grab a stick! Don't attract attention, meanwhile them starting the whole amusement park in the middle of the night while screaming....

Characters' lack of brain cells. I get that everyone is "different", young/immature and in highschool, but at some point, the situation needs to be taken into account. No one is coming to save you, and you don't have a clear picture of anything.
I also understood the anonymous votes, but why couldn't they split up? Especially all the whining that lasted until the end. If you want to go, GO! Less mouths to feed and more ammunition. No one would blame you if you decide to get your useless self away from there.

I wanted character growth, more world building and a splash of romance, but getting my favorite character killed doing useless sh*t, and whinny teenagers insted.
