Roswell - (1999 show) >
Its general theme is set up quickly, and then it has a significant evolution. Overall it's light on the brain, and has generally-believable characters.
Unfortunately, the character who can be most easily seen as the lead is as charismatic as a stone. This is really distracting, and it took most of the season for me to even begin to empathise with him.

19:45 -- Every girl in her right mind would keep this to herself and her bestie , and lie outright if it came up.
39:00 -- Worst lie ever. Which friend? How can they be trusted?
39:15 -- Yes, it was stupid. Hand it over so it can be read then destroyed. Then disown her and move away. Also consider killing her.

Nothing Box lyrics
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain
Nothing surrounds me
Nothing stays the same
I fought so long
To keep from going under
But why hang on?
Nothing matters at all
Nothing at all
I try to hide it
To avoid the shock
But I get pulled inside it
My nothing box
I fought so long
To keep from going under
But why hang on?
Nothing matters at all
Nothing at all
Prick my finger and you suck me dry
So dry, no tears to cry
Take take, fate worse than death
Keep taking till there's nothing left
There was a time in my life
When you were everything, everything to me
Everything, everything to me
For one moment I had it all
Then you took everything, everything from me
Everything, everything from me
You filled me with nothing
Nothing at all
I fought so long
To keep from going under
But why hang on?
Nothing matters at all
Nothing at all
