In this series, Alex, the leader of the group, is shown facing a bad fate as he finds himself caught in the middle of the love triangle between Madison, his high school sweetheart, and Juliet, a girl who returns to his past.
Siesta Key is deadly serious about how glamorous and fun its characters' lives are, even as the situations it depicts... are actually kind of a bummer.
It's both appealing and distracting that the cast members are still learning how to have conversations on camera. The genre is mature enough to be unforgiving of such naïveté, but it's refreshing to see unscripted awkwardness.
"Siesta Key" has paid lip service to those ideas, but has largely focused on dramatic hookups and breakups, and characters have become increasingly unsympathetic after cheating on and fighting with each other.
