Started strong but losing steam
I’m much less enthusiastic after 5 episodes than I was after 3. The first story arc was interesting and engaging, but now that has wrapped and we are getting into the other stories. It feels slow and not as strong anymore.
Three episodes in, The Crow Club is much more fun than I expected.
Four men work at The Crow Club, where clients can hire a “Crow” for unusual jobs, and that gives us four completely different romantic setups: a ghost problem, a romance novelist looking for inspiration, a struggling band, and two exes with very unfinished business.
The supernatural element is much lighter than the way the show is sometimes described. One storyline has a very real and very angry ghost, but the series itself feels much more like an ensemble romance with a strange-job premise than a supernatural drama.
What I like most so far is that the four pairings do not feel interchangeable. Vann and Rak have had the most development, and their fake-boyfriend/ghost storyline has already become much more emotionally interesting than I expected. The other three pairings are moving more slowly, but each has its own hook and its own unanswered questions.
The Crow Club also has one major rule: don’t get so involved with a client that you can no longer separate the job from the relationship.
In a BL built around four Crow/client pairings.
I’m sure that will go beautifully. 😂
For now, I’m very in. The setup feels fresh, the characters are distinct, the humor works for me, and I actually want to know what happens in all four stories.
