Reviews
Simple storyline, generational gap, very relatable. It reminds me of many households of my era how parents worries about their offsprings future, what they thought was the best without being malicious and how their children wanted to break outside their parents comfort zone.
Loved it. The playlists were great too.
Perhaps the playlists and singer could be published as well.
