Serpiente (2021) Episode 1: Hidden Desire

I was pleasantly surprised with Episode 1: Hidden Desire. The plot/storyline, about love, friendship, and betrayal, was a bit shallow but the screenplay was conversational enough and acting was quite good. Kaleb, Jao, and Mitch were all natural with their performances. I've watched Kaleb ("Meet My Angel," "Alter") and Mitch ("Amore," "L.A.F.S") before so I know they can act but this is the first time I've seen Jao. He has potential. I hope he's given proper direction on this series. Audio-visuals were ok but editing needs work. The scene with Chona was a bit long. The soundtrack "Di Pwede" (Can't Be/Not Possible) by Lady Martin was ok. Overall, this was a good premiere for this series.
