When I watch a crime/mystery type show I expect there to be a surprise of some sort. That totally wasn't the case here. A young kid is accused of murdering a classmate. You hope evidence will turn up that will incriminate someone else. Didn't happen. He did it plain and simple. Ultimately, I found it to be a waste of time. I know, it was supposed to be about bullying, but I thought it would be more satisfying. It was just depressing.
