The ads (and yes, there were wall-to-wall ads all over NBC for the premiere) pointed out that this was the first series to premiere on the network from the internet. I almost believed the hype until I realized what the show was about. Pretty White Twenty-somethings With Problems. More of the same whiny, narcissistic pablum that's all over the CW, MTV "reality shows," and pretty much every teen drama ever created after Degrassi Junior High with the exception of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Of course, Buffy was horror. These shows are just horrible.

I actually like the show and hope it continues. I didn't watch it on the web because 8 minute episodes over 30 weeks isn't worth my time... Well it was worth a try.
