Lol. I tried to get a cousin to watch it once. They said the same thing - the music is hype but he couldn't get past the voice acting... I personally am alright with it, and they've definitely improved. But those early episodes turn a lot of people off from the series.
It's just "that" accent, y'know that kind of American EVERYONE hates, Ruby just kinda put me off of the thing. The others were "ok" it's just they try too hard to be what they are, like theres the Emo one, then the uptight one, then the thrillseeker one, then the nerdy etc.
