Truly watch to understand all the issued addressed
When I started this show I was not expecting much especially since I don’t watch many series in the comedy genre so I felt very indifferent about it. Consider me shocked when I gave it a shot and I DO NOT REGRET my decision.
I am amazed at the messages this show addresses. It covers a range of issues regarding sex (i.e. "straight v gay" sex [as they described it], communication, kinks, relationships), lgbtq+, pregnancy, and friendship in a very comical (light?) manner. They even slightly address how discriminatory the entertainment industry can be behind closed doors. Although I wish they kept some of the seriousness of it when they are discussed I understand some of these topics are heavy for some. I enjoyed how they managed to put all of this in a very chaotic show-- making the topics somewhat lighter.
The only reason I didn't rate it a 10 is b/c the comedy genre aspect of it somewhat takes away from its many many messages. After watching Ep 9, I must say this show continues to be unique. I loved the communication and the portrayal of the characters at the reality of having STDs, communication with your partner, the scare, and just everything about it. I also appreciated the message behind surrogacy, the right to choose, parenting, and being a gay closeted man in order to protect your employment.
Another thing I enjoy about the series is that it takes time to address all the stories it creates for each character without it feeling rushed or not fully developed.
The preview for ep 10 seems to address the issues of sexual harassment at work and homophobia. I am excited to see how these two issues will be portrayed in the following episodes. This show may even reach a 9 rate if it continues as it is now. I truly enjoy watching these issues being addressed, in general, and I find it new and refreshing that it's being portrayed in a funny "time travel" plot.
Some of the highlights for me are the introduction of a non-binary character and how they navigate themselves in the entertainment industry and surrogacy.
The series was done well overall, I disliked the ending a bit cause it felt like so many things going on but I also understood that the ML was trying to mend things right there and then so that the future does not turn out as it did. Overall, I loved the series due to the number of topics it hit in the alternative future (since it was all a "could have been this way" if the ML made the same choices). I enjoyed the small fluff ending despite it feeling rushed and it gets a 9 RATE FOR ME. I would recommend this show. ALL THESE TOPICS DISCUSSED are phenomenal.
