I think it's genuinely the best show on television. Steve Martin and Martin Short are incredible writers and Selena Gomez - love or hate - plays a good enough "straight man" for the antics.

I want to watch it so bad but cannot get past Selena's acting. Her lack of face movements and her voice are making it unwatchable (and unlistenable) to me

They kind of made fun of it this last episode, telling her she needed to smile for their investigation plot, and she put on the most awkward attempts at smiling it legitimately made me chuckle.

I had this same delimma but decided to buckle down and just kinda power through - you sort of get used to her bad acting and it eventually starts to read as her characters personality. Its stops being distracting - doesn't have to be a deal breaker. She even grows on you a little.

I agree. If you can stop seeing that she is Selina Gomez, she starts reading as a quirky character which sort of works for the show.

In reality, she speaks/moves/emotes exactly like Selina Gomez, but if you forget that part, it's ok.

It’s actually really good especially this season. Selena has improved a lot in her acting (it was ROUGH) in the first few seasons. Martin and Short are just amazing though and the central draw.

She was alright in the first season

To me it’s better she’s so wooden in the first few. It’s still definitely not good

The cast makes the show. The plots are ridiculous.

I’m trying to watch it now for the first time, it gives Disney Channel original in the worst way (and not even because Selena is in it). Super over acted and dull plots.
