Astrid and Lilly Save the World

Imagine crossing Buffy the Vampire Slayer tv series with the original Bewitched tv series. The special effects are on the same level as Bewitched from the 1960s, with a few exceptions. Watching the first episode I thought the two main characters were maybe 12 tops, based in the way they looked, acted and spoke. When they start driving and using profanity I shockingly realize they are suppose to be teenagers, who stalk guys and look into their windows, both of which are criminal offenses. As much as they try to be positive about their big bodies the first time their monster trainer shows up their is a comment along the lines of "hottie with a body", as for the other males in the series: the jock with the typical jock body, the loner with the trim body and longer hair and the geek skinny white guy but broke stereotype in not giving him glasses. Five episodes watched and the most interesting characters are even the two leads, it's the jock who has problems with his father and the ex best friend who has problems with her mother. Those two characters and their relationships with their parents and the expectations of their parents are more interesting than the monsters that look like they are from a children's show. Just to explain my experience I've watched: Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, Supernatural, American Horror Story, I'll even mention Scooby Doo just because of the monsters. I've been overweight my entire life. Given those facts this should be the perfect show for me and yet I struggle to get to the end of each episode because of the poor writing in the confused and cliche characters and sloppy dialogue and cheap and childish special effects.
