I agree Bobby. This season does not have the magic that S1 and S2 did, and it has to do with the scripts for the new cast rather than the quality of the actors.

Was it just me or was there more sex and drugs in every episode at every opportunity? The storylines for these characters (especially Cook) are really a stretch in terms of "being real" and relatable. I don't know of any 17 year old like Cook. Doesn't mean they don't exist but the character was too OTT for the show. The whole cast ended up fucking each other at some point, so it kinda became a 9-some. It was just strange.

It didn't have the same vibe or great storytelling that S1 and S2 had. S3 picked up around mid season but the storylines were too dramatic for 17 year olds and mixed with the overexposure of sex and drugs just showed that they didn't know what to do with these characters but that.

I'm not suprised if it gets cancelled. I'd like to see S4 cause I think it's starting to pick up in terms of settling the cast but I hope to God the script gets better.
