So let me start off by saying at this point I have watched 3 episodes and am about to start the 4th episode but felt it needed a review.

So far I am enjoying the story line of the show and the acting is good. However, there are things that i really like and some that really irritate me with the show.

Ep 1-3 What I like:
So I like that Jared and Farrah have a great family bond and they try to help each other out. I also like that Farrah's two friends seem like they are always willing to be there for her and help her out. I did like the friendship between Jared, Parker, Diamond, and Kidalt in the first 2 episodes. I also love how Uno's mom deals with things.

Ep 1-3 What I don't like:
So let's start with Uno's abhorrent behavior when it comes to sportsmanship and his inability to even recognize that he has a problem. This can be seen not just from the basketball game but also during volleyball tryouts. During tryouts he constantly knocks other people over and doesn't apologize or even help them up. Then when we have the scene with Farrah being mad at him she caves and helps him out, when he still doesn't even acknowledge that he did something wrong to Jared back when they were friends. Sure at this point we have only heard Jared's side of the story but do we need to hear Uno's side of the story? Based of the evidence it looks at though the basketball team told him to hit Jared with the basketball and cut ties with him to be able to play and be a starter in the basketball games. Sure it looks as though he felt bad, but he never apologized and even apparently forgot how he treated Jared. Next let's move on to the girls volleyball coach, he's a a**hole all around which is evident by him saying to stop helping the boys volleyball team and cut ties with them. School should promote unity and helping each other out what he is doing is trying to separate students from working together which isn't right. Next let's move onto the new coach of the boys volleyball team. He has an ego and needs to get over himself it doesn't matter if he's the coach or not the team captains input on new team mates is just as important if not more important. Yes, Jared is making his decision partly because of a personal reason, but also because he acknowledges Uno is selfish and doesn't know how to be a team player. While the coach is focusing on Uno's potential since he is a good spiker he overlooks the fact Uno isn't showing good sportsmanship throughout the tryouts as previously mentioned. As a coach he should have had a conversation with Jared separately about why he wanted Uno on the team instead of sidelining him in front of everyone. Even though Uno is a good spiker realistically no coach would have allowed him on a team after watching him knockdown other people during tryouts and not even apologize or help them up since volleyball is a team sport that requires a lot of trust. Lastly, Diamond and Kidlat's actions with the voting and all of that are a huge betrayal in their friendship with Jared. They say that they care about the team which is bs it feels more like they want to stare at Uno because they find him attractive.

While some might find Jared's attitude childish with how he is handling the coach allowing Uno on the team. I personally don't think that he is. My reason is simple ask yourself the following question: if you have a friend that you grew up with one day throw things at you and start picking on you and then cut you out of their life completely to be able to join a sports team and be a starting player how would you feel? Would you want to ever be on the same sports team as them when they have never apologized to you or even admitted they were wrong to do that? I wouldn't want to be on a team with them, because I wouldn't trust them to try and screw me over again or worse screw my teammates over.
