A Mess

First 6 episodes were terrible and I was watching in 2x just to not be bored out of my mind. Then episodes 7 - 13 were actually interesting and I started to enjoy it and then the last 3 episodes were boring with the ending being awful. How am I supposed to rate this?

FL is a computer science student and looks at everything in her life like a computer looks at problems and solutions. She tries to use logic, data and statistics for everything. The university decides to merge 2 departments in the university which leads to some of the students including FL's friend to protest against this. Due to the merger, the ML joins their group for a competition to develop an app. Upto this point in the story, I was bored because it took too many episodes to reach arrive at this juncture. On top of it they had to involve a dildo flying through the classroom scene. Funny for some, didn't appeal to me.

FL has a 3rd friend who has an interesting plotline with her neighbour across her window. She has a crush on him but presumes he's gay. That development was fun. Then the FL and ML start getting closer so this was great too. He comes off as dumb but extremely popular but his charm is that he's actually a nice guy and pays attention to what the FL jabbers off. And she starts to develop feelings for him. Good point in the story. Her other friend is a lesbian and dating a clingy toxic woman meanwhile a disabled student in a wheelchair starts hitting on her. Again an interesting point in the story.

The final episodes introduce a new man from FL's past which was an annoying plot point. Unneeded in my opinion but I suppose they were trying to show (and failed) the FL's character development? Or maybe it was to throw us off. And then the friends all suddenly start fighting and the final episodes revolve around a few students still fighting the school administration while the app competition is being held and live streamed. The story ends on a cliffhanger without any conclusion as to what happens to the students rioting.

I'm really not sure what I am supposed to make of this? Is there going to be a second season? I hope not. I won't be watching.

If the good episodes were a 9 and the rest of the episodes were a 2, plus the non-ending - 5 is what I can award this show . Maths!
