A great option for fans of British teen thrillers without excessive darkness. The charismatic trio of main heroines and the short runtime make it ideal background viewing for one evening.
All episodes were released on BBC iPlayer on February 14, 2022 — this is a spin-off of the British series "Get Even," based on the book series by Gretchen McNeil. Three cheerleaders from Bannerman Private School — Grace, Clara, and Rumi — revive the secret club DGM (Don't Get Mad) to combat bullying and harassment. The plot begins with an incident at a competition: Clara's sister, Leila, faints after being poisoned, and the girls start an investigation, hiding behind the masks of anonymous avengers. The tone is a light teen thriller with elements of detective work: bright cheerleading uniforms contrast with the dark secrets of the school, and investigations are conducted through hacking tricks and hiding in school corridors. The short episode format (26 minutes) is perfect for a binge-watch in one evening. Comparable to "Elite" and "Pretty Little Liars," but without sexual intrigue — the focus here is on teenage solidarity and anti-bullying initiatives.
No, the series is conceived as a mini-series spin-off for one season, concluding the story by the end of the eighth episode with a victory at the competition.
Not necessarily — there are new heroines and a separate story, although the world and concept of DGM intersect with the original. A couple of cameos from the first series appear.
Don't Get Mad — the name of the secret club created to combat bullying at Bannerman School.
The younger sister of one of the cheerleaders, who became a victim of bullying and joins the team — a key character for revealing the main villain.
Yes, rated TV-PG — there is no violence or explicit scenes, just psychological tension and detective intrigue.
