I just have to say that I'm in mega agreement for these thoughts. I thought aesthetically it was neat, there were some nice throwbacks in terms of style, the pacing was pretty even.
Having watched it again, I feel like the balance was slightly better than in S4, in that everyone got a little - and I mean little - moment to shine. But like other people have said, I'm not sure how they're going to do with picking up threads in the next episodes.
Grace gave me whiplash nostalgia for Cassie and Emily. I can't remember the line she spoke, but I wasn't actually watching and just listening, and it felt so Hannah Murray to me.
Mini gives me the anger mist, I swear. Yeah, Katie and Chelle had their moments, but fuck, she's on a whole new level. Girl must have some serious issues. I can't fathom how Grace and Liv are her mates aside from that whole weird peer pressure thing. Liv just seems like she'd tell her to get fucked at the earliest opportunity and Grace, well, I suppose she naively thinks she's good at heart. It's somehow worse to me that they both know that how she's treating Franky is wrong (hell, everyone does) but they're all complicit in allowing Mini to carry on doing it.
Rich and Alo were less annoying than I thought they were going to be.
Nick may as well dissapear. I don't like this preppy rugby jock with hidden depths. I'm going to ignore his presence until his episode.
This was a good opener, with nice moments here and there, but I wouldn't start bandying about that this lot are the best thing since it began. One episode does not a Gen make.
