S01.E01: Dear Diary...

Quote

When her best friend (and secret crush) hooks up with a crude jock, Syd seethes with anger... and her feelings boil over in startling ways.

So this looks like someone watched Juno and thought, 'okay, but what about if they had superpowers?' The main actress is channelling Ellen Page so strongly that I keep having to remind myself it's not her.

I guess we're given to understand that her anger and depression are a combination of teenage angst and the tragedy of losing her father, but the navel-gazing and woe-is-me attitude is already grating.

Nice to see Kathleen Rose Perkins, though. I hope she gets a lot to do.

I'm glad I'm not the only one hallucinating Ellen/Elliot Page. I just found this show this weekend.
