"“Here’s to, getting away with it” One of my favorite tropes is dark academia, and it’s even better when it’s an exclusive school for rich kids, but also how their parents aren’t always the most upstanding citizens either despite their wealth. Two soccer moms with BFF daughter’s with a prestigious soccer coach has told both they could have a chance of playing Div 1 soccer if they partake in extra private training with him. Money isn’t an issue and these moms will do anything if it helps their daughters get into college. However, the girls become distant to each other and it becomes aware that they both been lying and hiding things from them. The middle aged moms have their typical cattiness and cheating husbands/cheating friends. Not to mention a school secretary who seems to be everywhere. This was a rump shaker of a great ballsy takedown of a read, but who will get taken down and why? That is the part that is ultimately appalling. I highly recommend this one.

"I think this would make a better TV series, needs to be flushed out more and I don’t think you ever truly connect with any of the characters the way an actor could pull you in. It was good but could even better."
