The cinematography was a solid 10/10. Every surfing shot was done SO beautifully, it makes you want to surf, literally.
The script for me was a 6/10. It was kind of predictable, when I first started watching I just knew Summer (main character) was going to fall in love with Australia and not want to go back to New York, it was also obvious that her and Ari would be a love interest. Although I liked the drama in both season 1 and 2.
The acting was also not the best but I didn't expect it to be emmy award winning because it's a teen show and you can very obviously tell that the cast haven't had as much experience as an A-Lister actor. But everyone starts somewhere. Some of the cast have so much potential.
Lastly, I loved the Maori representation, I knew as soon as I saw Poppy that she was Maori, and as soon as they started speaking Te Reo later on in season 1, I was happy. Love to see my culture being represented especially on a Netflix Original series.
Overall worth the watch if you like teen dramas.
