Friend with Benefits (2024)

Very Blah

This started out as a fun little GL miniseries that I enjoyed, but it soon fell into the pitfalls of (imo) all miniseries, which is trying to tell a story that's too big for the 1-hour runtime they're allotted. Trying to sell us on these two meeting for the first time, having multiple encounters before even becoming friends with benefits, falling in love, falling out, and then coming back together in the end is too much for one hour. And so everything feels rushed, the emotions feel forced, and the conflict basically makes no sense and is resolved absurdly quickly due to it.

The acting wasn't all that great, but I don't have much complaints about it. I think both girls could have done better if they'd had more to work with. I did like the actress who played Noon (Nune? The subtitles couldn't decide) quite a bit. She was the stronger actor of the two, I thought.

In the end, this was quick and alright to watch, with some nice kisses that I enjoyed watching. But I don't think it was really worth the hour and change I spent watching it, so I'd advise you all to pass on this one.
