The writing is terrible and repetitious. The acting is bad. Very bad. Very notable exceptions are Ten, who was excellent, and whoever the acting powerhouse that played his mother was. All their scenes together were gold.
Max who plays Keaton is and is a BL favorite is hot in this, but his only facial expression is "you just ran over my cat!" Not his best effort. And no chemistry. The parkour guy was adorable, but you can tell the actor was starting to phone it in in later episodes - he was probably tired of doing the same thing over and over. He was one of the few characters that seemed innocent, and managed to insert vulnerability and sweetness into his cockiness.
Anyway, a shallow and poorly-written series. One positive note - there are the ubiquitous offensively stereotypical trans characters that are there for "comic" relief, but there is a scene where two of them interrupt a gang rape and it's pretty awesome, so at least they subverted the stereotype a bit.
Anyway, if you came for BL, just skip to the end - you won't have missed anything.
