The unpopular opinion review
So, I rushed to watch this after savoring it for a while, just to be disappointed.
Don't get me wrong though, the actors were really good, they lifted the story quite a bit.
So did the music.
It ends there.
Story wise, not sure if its like that in the webseries, it is bit lacking.
The censorship around their skinship and other intimate moments really ruined it all.
It was ok, to show assault, sexually and other types of asssaults but anything around love was cut out.
The whole romantizesing of forced behaviours upon others really gave some distaste.
The whole near rape and various lack of consent things going on, without proper follow up was disturbing.
To really really mess things up, the last 10 minutes of the end of the final episode felt really unfinnished.
It even pissed me off a bit.
But sure, the chemistry between the actors was top notch, but as I first mentioned, that and the music was what made the series watchable, not the story itself.
Worth a rewatch? No.
I dont get it why so many thinks so highly of this series.
