Yes, you’ve seen this story and its fairly flat and uninspired characters a million times before, but, as Hollywood teaches, sometimes a shiny surface is all you need.
Admittedly, Famous in Love could’ve been worse, but there’s not enough here to actually love. This is not the next Pretty Little Liars. At least, not yet.
Thorne is not awful on Famous in Love, but she's thoroughly miscast or misused because the show never forgets for a second that she's Bella Thorne, Disney Channel icon. ... A flatly acted, chemistry-lite Tinseltown Cinderella.
Yes, it's a soap opera. But if this is "character driven," well, it's worth noting that none of the characters (or the situations) seem the least bit believable.
