After seeing the advertisement for this series, I was honestly leaning towards supporting the Mustangs. But there was something I didn't know about them at the time. They aren't even a normal group of girls who want to be treated equally in football. They are unfocused, lazy and you can clearly tell that they aren't even interested in soccer. They are disobedient in training and complain and accuse the coach of being sexist because of the "intensity" of it.. It's as if instead of proving that girls can be just as good as boys, they show a reason why they are discriminated in the first place! Apart from the boys' teasing and the coach calling out,"Stop playing like a girl", there is no significance of gender discrimination. To be honest, before watching, I expected a plot where the girls actually tried their best and genuinely wanted to be good at football, but get teased by the boys and then prove them wrong by beating them in a match. I would have been more satisfied, but this just annoys me. It's like they are trying to find an excuse to be discriminated against and don't seem to clarify anything meaningful they want if they win, other than a stinky changing room full of pee. In one scene, Marnie shows unforgiveness to Jasper, even though he was the only person in the team to respect the girls prior to the match, for the reason that he "didn't stand up for us, not that we need standing up for", which was just contradictory and just adds up to hostility. After the introduction of Ruby, I thought maybe this behavior is all intentional, but that isn't a great idea anywayAnd the narrator. The freaking narrator just pisses the hell out of me! Always cutting in to tell us facts that most likely no one gives a crap about. I mean, seriously, you might as well put her in the team, as she has more lines then some of the players.
There really isn't much positive things to say about this series. the characters are unlikeable, apart from Jasper, I guess.By the way, I haven't watched the whole series, so I hope I wasn't jumping to conclusions. If so, I might change the rating with this review.

Loved Summahs performance in the show, and it had a great storyline. Jasper was one of my favourite characters, however, he was not developed and I really wanted to learn more about him. Liv and Summah where great characters and they were pivotal to the success of the show. Mustangs 4 life. In Season 2 Jasper must be given a bigger role. This show has a big future and actors for Summah, Liv, Tom and Jasper have great potential to be successful. I really hope Jasper gets more screen time in S2.
