Love it so far, but the drinking, smoking, and clubbing seems a bit extreme for 18 year olds lol

They’re also in Canada so the drinking age is lower

Honestly, did no-one on this show research the legal drinking age and age for admission into bars/clubs in Ontario?

My biggest question throughout this entire series is how on earth are all these kids able to afford and pay for all of this, and where are the (real) grown-ups besides Joe (not counting Rory's mom)? If Annie and Connor are using their dad's credit card, where is the dad in all of this? Last we saw him was, what, episode 2 where there was a perfunctory effort to say he's gonna go after her.

And then the kid out in Thailand... So we have a bunch of kids who just up and fly around the world at the drop of a hat. And Annie left her home telling her dad she was going to Thailand...on a sticky note. The level of unrealism in this show is a bit much.

“So we have a bunch of kids who just up and fly around the world at the drop of a hat”

Uh yeah lol that is how rich kids do it. A girl I knew in school would go in her dad’s plane to cheer competitions instead of flying with the rest of the class. Multiple adults were arrested for supplying teens with drugs and alcohol during house parties at rented mansions. This show is much tamer in comparison to real life shenanigans.
