wasted potential
When I heard the synopsis for this show, I was so excited - we were getting another JaFirst series, we were getting more of Title, and an exciting, different plot. However, the more episodes we got through, the more of an disappointment it was. Em and Name's story is horrifying at best- traumatised young boy meets new friend that he later finds out was a manipulation of his mother wanting to get him talking again. Em disappears from Name's life at the behest of his mother as well during university, again to try and get him talking again. JaFirst's storyline was interesting, but stretched on for 2 episodes too long, Gun hiding his true name and relationship to Golf, to the point where their eventual discovery felt strange that Golf forgave Gun so fast. I gave up after I got to see Gun meeting Golf's incredibly supportive family.
I find it hilarious that Mean has returned to direct a Y series after his history of homophobic statements and well publicised dislike for the industry. He also inserted himself in the show far too much, his storyline also incredibly uninspiring and difficult to be invested in. The rest of the friends had forgettable storylines I can't even speak on, I spent most of my time skipping past.
