A very grown up bl

First, I LOVE that this is a more mature storyline. Can we get more of these? The college kid stories are cute and sweet and fun, I’m not hating on them. But this one has real substance and I wish there were more like it. I’ll admit I had to rewatch the first couple of episodes because there is a lot going on. Along with complex relationships, the show delves into history, politics and cultural issues. One of my favorite aspects of this series is that it makes sense. You don’t have to suspend logic to follow the story, as is common with this genre. Many of the scenes are quite intense, both the drama and the romance. The conflicts between the couples (or would be couples) are realistic and leave you hurting for both characters.
I appreciate how they pulled people from multiple sides of the cultural and political divides and paired them up to really highlight what was happening at the time.
If you’re just looking for a lot of eye candy and romance… well, you will get plenty of that. But it comes with a deep storyline and a fair amount of heartbreak. I’m completely hooked and a little nervous for the ending.
The chemistry between these couples is off the charts. The music is also a highlight, and does its own part to tell the stories. The acting is so good- they just sweep you along on this rollercoaster. The story is not predictable, overdone or illogical.
The only part I don’t like is that hippy hair. But, even that does fit the times.
