    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The show is like Netflix's 13 Reasons Why and covers a good amount of problems and situations that almost every teen experience, as well as some problems/situations that are rarer but still way too many teens experience. The show covers important things such as bullying, racism, bomb threats and sexual assault.

    If you liked 13 Reasons Why, is it highly possible that you may like this too. This show may not suit everyone as the show, just like 13 Reasons Why, covers some difficult and uncomfortable scenes and topics to say the least. I recommend you watch the show with someone you trust and are comfortable with if you find the topics mentioned earlier disturbing. The cast is doing a good job, and it is cool that a lot of the cast seems to be new actors rather than established and well-known actors. But that does not mean that their acting is bad, quite the opposite. I especially liked Odessa A'zion (Joey Del Marco), Amir Bageria (Siddhartha Pakam) and Thelonius Serrell-Freed (Tim Delaney) and their story lines.

    Netflix has added disclaimers at the beginning of the episodes containing scenes that people may find disturbing.    … Expand

    Grand Army is at its best when it lets the stories of these young people, and the exceptional cast of unknowns who play them, especially TV first-timer Odley Jean, lead the way.

    The result is a dizzying mish-mosh of half-baked stories that is light on meaningful character development and long on tired cliches about people of color.

    All five of the leads put in fine performances. ... But the show lacks focus, at least at the outset.
