i don't want to review/rate it fully yet (warning: this will most likely go lower. not higher.) cos i'm gonna have think about this show more. i watched half of it falling asleep unsober but...i really fucking wish these shows would consult with people who aren't basically radical liberals. not going to super elaborate but the amount of culling and defanging, whitewashing, and honestly lying, about what it takes to remake (burn) society and the structures we are in—what comes from the ashes; the necessity of risk and sacrifice and clarity; the love that goes into violence—is GRATING and pisses me off. what's worse is the audience reaction. there isn't enough clarity and understanding for people to think of it as hegemonic bullshit. which it is (ideologically/content wise). that aside, besides the weird acting of the light(skin) one, it was alright. definitely one of the better (quite good, and not astronomically cringe) actually sexy sex scenes; at least acknowledging the different way of being even within this genre because bisexuality seems to be very scary for people. haven't seen many speak on that one and i want to but idk. i want to talk abt this politically a lot more. (fuck the military, fuck the police, and fuck rich people.)

apo has gotten way better at acting! kp was a bunch of bullshit to me, made me want to punch him, so it's promising to see this growth. i can see why people enjoyed the show! at least it's different. however i can also see how its wanting. i can't knock the attempt tho bc they went beyond what is typical. i think this is probably one of the better shows of this genre yet and i actually really mean that. this company is at least trying i guess. at the very least they own some great cameras, have good colorists, and directors and crew (and cast but shout out to the film workers!)

i think this genre is oversaturated and real fucked up now but i like it when they come out with things that attempt to be thoughtful. unfortunately they fumble the political aspects heavy along with certain romantic ones yet it gets solidifed as iconic and meaningfully deep with regards to the world, "progress", and queerness but it fails to truly politicize it and antagonize the audience. oh well i guess this my cross to bear lmao

also all these women were beautiful jesus
