Even though the text tries to show that this wasn't the case, Uno really only changed because Farrah told him to. Unfortunately, in the end, that's what happened: he stopped being homophobic and transphobic because Farrah told him to. And it kind of weakens any attempt to show the character's evolution (which is already pretty weak).
The series was very good, with interesting characters, good drama, good performances, and Krist once again bringing a character who exudes charisma to the screen; we root for him. It was great to see their relationship, before and after; I never found it boring or tiresome. Ten episodes was ideal.
My only issue is Jamie and Earn. Was that a bait? It wasn't necessary; it's the only part that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
I think the show wasn't at all convincing about Uno's change. That's a fact. But I really liked his lines, about how he wouldn't use team pressure or a desire to fit in as an excuse, that everything he did was his choice, he chose to be part of the people who bullied Jared.
I really liked it. I like how Keen, despite his lack of physical strength, is a very intelligent character who always faces challenges head on.
My only problem, and I think it's entirely my fault, is that the first few episodes gave me the impression that Typhoon would be a more important and present character in the story. I thought there was a lot of interesting development to be had between him and Thun, but that's okay; that wasn't the writers' intention.

And Paytai? Ramil has done worse... what a bad script.
But the Lucien scene got me. I cried like a baby.

This video of the casting auditions is interesting, Sky Quinzon auditioned to be 'Jared' and River Joseph auditioned to be 'Uno'.
The volleyball match was incredible, so fun.
