Let me put my 2 cents in...
So...I had initially thought it wasn't going to be good. Idk why to be honest. Anyways, with it only being 9 episodes, I was like--might as well push through. Here's the good and the bad:
Good:
1. Acting wasn't bad. I liked pretty much everyone, especially after the first episode.
2. I liked the fact that our main leads were able to date around despite liking each other. It isn't realistic to me (all the time) that you would deny having feelings for someone and actively avoid dating them, but not date other people.
3. They had a lot of life events--everything didn't go perfect for them. They had moments of doubt in themselves, anxiety surrounding the future, and hopelessness. None of our characters were perfect. Sometimes they were wrong and other times they were right.
Bad:
1. So many life events happened that I got anxious. While it added a touch of realism, since there were only 9 episodes everything felt a lot.
2. Sometimes I was unable to keep up with what year we were in. Their phones never changed, their hairstyles never changed...so it was easy to keep them pretty present. Like, I knew years were passing, because things would happen off screen in the pieces of the year we didn't see..but there weren't always clear moments.
3. Also... their two friends were so annoying. I did not care about them. Please, no. Like I was so bothered when they would pop up.
