While earlier fans that include young teens are still going for it, critics and other viewers who appear to be more discerning have slammed it. Sample this review on rottentomatoes by Jack L who has awarded the show a paltry 0.5 stars out of 5. He writes that this is a terrible season and “it sucks”. But his namesake, Jack S on the same website differs and awards it a full five stars. He writes, “This show epitomises what a good teen drama, adventure, comedy, romance, action show should be. You have to admit that in all these departments the show has excelled and will continue to do so. The character development and each of their arcs were very fascinating to follow and keeps you on your toes throughout.”

She makes it clear that you should go ahead only if you have been a fan of the previous seasons.
