Dead on arrival in the laughs department.

The show is overly ripe in its writing and spends far too much time exploring the whiny angst of the teens.

The situations are predictable, the writing is unfunny and the cast is forced to overplay every scene in hopes of generating something resembling a chuckle.

As bad as the original was, the sequel is even worse.

This is David E. Kelley on his worst days with wildly improbable plot developments and much forced humor.
