Rose finally gets a lead show with A list support and the writing is…eh. It’s a good show especially if you love or participated in college sports. It felt like being back in the locker room. A lot of research went into athletics and how that dynamic works with Deans and Athletic directors etc. Unfortunately the writers either never stepped foot out of church or never spoke to a person under the age of 25 because the writing for the younger people is tragic. It was rough listening to kids argue with the Church -going player. The very religious girl is a staple on any athletic team but the way she talked was like a 50yer old was writing her character. I was very disappointed in Famke’s portrayal. One of my fav actresses but this was not her swan song.
I think it was finding it’s way and deserved a second season. For a smaller network show it has pretty good production value. It doesn’t look like a Hallmark production a lot of it is on location.
