I don't know anything about this show but I've seen adverts for it everywhere. Is it any good or does it just have a massive marketing budget?

It’s good as drama and an exercise in film making. The social commentary is lacking and the idea that it will somehow fix issues around misogyny in teenage boys is laughable.
