Unbearably awful
STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All CostsWere it not for this Godawful shows cynical manipulation of it's naive teenage girl fanbase,I don't think there's anyway it's over-riding banality would have allowed it to run for nearly ten years.I myself have only ever really caught what you might call passing glances at it but I feel this has been more than enough.I honestly wonder at times whether the 'actors' are chosen on the grounds on any actual 'acting' merit they possess whatsoever as opposed to their viewer-attracting,ratings-assuring sex appeal and good looks.Unless,by the standards of the casting directors associated with this rubbish,'good-acting' consists of shouting very loudly in each other's faces all the time as well turning the most mundane situation in to an opportunity to turn in a master-stroke of thespian aspiration.Mind you,said opportunities are relatively numourous,with seemingly every plotline as contrieved and sensationalist as the next,making the show more detached from reality than it's outline as 'the everyday lives of' a group of people could ever possibly imagine.Unfortunately,as long as it continues to appeal to the lowest common denominator of it's naive audience,it seemingly has no end in sight.Oh well,no one's forcing you to watch,eh?*
