How this was ever greenlit is beyond me. The writing is HORRIFIC.
Whoever wrote this doesn't seem to have ever used a computer. There's a line in there about how the bad organization has the best computer security! This is right after noting that EVERYONE uses the same password. Writing a script like this and not realizing that doing code breaking without a computer is pure insanity is unforgivable.
It's rough. Like no one actually checked for any consistency at all. At one point a character talks about saving countless lives when there's a list of countable lines (23. It's 23).
There's no story in here. Like there's no reason given for most major plot points. No one asked "why?"
And the worst of it is the fact that the writing is sexist and horrible. Women are just bad or foolish. Men are masculine and controlling. It feels like those comedic "male authors are terrible" jokes. It was just icky.

I really wanted to like this but after 4 episodes it feels like they're still character building. We get it. He's got anxiety.
It never goes anywhere. We're never treated to anything within the classroom except for an early scene in the first episode. Otherwise it's this weirdly almost college dude hanging with his friends, hanging out in bars and occasionally tending to some obligations. And it's all from a very singular view.
It kind of feels like those stories written by a 10 year old where they're describing EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING in a scene. Once they've written their 3 pages of scene building, they're not quite sure where to go with it. Nothing of consequence ever seems to happen.

Another of those "are they worthy?" type films.
Little girl develops a rare genetic disease and America's health system is broken. So family (almost?) go bankrupt. It's all down to the sanctimonious beliefs that hopefully bring order out of chaos. I mean... they're worthy right?
I wish Hollywood would stop presenting America's broken system and the few people lucky enough to escape it as a "feel good story".
