I stopped watching this partway through. Partly because I feel outside of the target audience - I guess it's aimed specifically at African-American teens - but mostly because it's a clumsy mix of social issues drama and sci-fi romp, neither done particularly well. I'd be more forgiving of the after-school special vibe and the irritating protagonist (fine, she's got anger issues, but in a boring shouty way, she uses all her amazing inventions which would definitely get her an A+ in science (and earn her millions of dollars) to invent time-travel so she can get an A+ in science class (because yeah that's the best way to unveil a mind-bogglingly important discovery - in fact, didn't F4ntastic pull some similar bullshit?), and she's a mega-genius and yet within two minutes of travelling back into the past she's running around like an idiot purposefully fucking up time) if it were aimed at tweens but surely there's too many "fuck"s here for that to be the case.
