I'm not the biggest fan of some of the actors either. Especially the hacker kid, the 'I have an important mommy' kid and the black girl that's the leader of their squad aren't that great in my opinion. Overall I think the acting holds up pretty well, though. I expected a lot more cringe-worthy stuff but I'm pleasantly surprised so far by the quality of the series.That doesn't mean he has to like it...but yea, he should give it another chance. I'd much prefer adult characters myself, though.
