Great drama with some weaknesses

The Warp Effect has so much greatness in it, I ended up sending a 5 minute voice note to a friend why it's so good.
It tackles so many problems in society without it being overbearing or too in your face. The writing is very clever, incorporating things without making the viewer feel like they are lecturing us. I kept catching myself beign surprised how many important topics we are talking about, such as how HPV vaccines aren't just for women.

I know a lot of people came for Army x Joe, but honestly, the show in itself is great.

The characters are fun and likable. I have to emphasize how I LOVE that Kat, the pretty and popular girl, wasn't your typical mean girl. No, she was nice and helpful, I enjoyed how Kat embodied a sexual woman who enjoys and wants sex and is unapologetic about it. She knows she's hot and she knows what she wants. Go girl!

In general, the women are written in a refreshing way, none of them are unlikable or annoying.
The guys are fine, too. Though, sometimes I'm not sure if Alex wants to help everyone 'cause he wants to go back or because he genuinely wants them to be better. Probably a mix. I love how he went back and gave everyone random advice they didn't get lol.

Beisdes all the good things the drama does (like how sex-positive it is. I absolutely love it), there are some aspects I didn't like. For example, Nim does not come across to me as a motherly person. She doesn't like kids, she doesn't want them, she looks at kids and feels her energy draining. Why would she have a kid? I understand that she wanted to make her then girlfriend happy, but I don't understand why her character development wasn't "I realized for myself I never want to have kids and therefore we weren't compatable. Not everyone has to have kids." That would be such a strong and powerful message, completely wasted.

There were other things that bothered me, but that was by far the worst one.

Also, it was so unrealistic for all of them to stay together and not have someone have break up. I know, it's a drama and fictional, but I would have appreciated it.

Overall, the actors are all great and fun to watch, the couples have good chemistry. I laughed and enjoyed myself. Very refreshing watch!
