Nah. The script is the problem, with a very poor plot. Moments are simply being strung together with problems in continuity and cohesiveness. Put that together with amateurish directing and very mediocre acting, it's a hot mess.

Both Oat and Boat are better actors than the effort they're putting into this series. They're basically phoning it in.

The pilot for the series had much better acting, directing and scripted lines than we're getting in the series. It seems they started with a good idea and then, during the expansion of that great pilot, they went the cheap route and just phoned in it, because they knew the audience would still watch what's essentially boiled down to slop.

I already encountered one of your baited replies on another person's comment. No, you and I will not be discussing what Big Jane may or may not be, so you can find a pathway to discuss a story you've already read and are chafing at the bit to spoil.

You're not the only one who's read the story. Please practice some discipline and allow others to experience the magic of a story's unfolding for themselves. As a prolific reader, I've never understood why the younger generation hungers to steal others' joy.

Reality? Is this ANOTHER of your book spoilers? Try to discipline yourself, please. I already read one of your spoilers that wasn't tagged as a spoiler. Now, you're dropping spoilers on another's comment.

This series feels as though it was written by AI. It has the ideas of what characters would say to each other, but spoken by humans, those lines are stilted and unnatural-- no human could make them sound anything but empty and ridiculous. If not for how unintentionally funny this car crash is, this hot mess would be unbearably boring.

Yep! 😄

Sweet. 🥳 This series is so freaking good!!

I didn't have my glasses on, so read your comments as "survival instinct of a BEE." 🤣🤣

Great comment, but please place a spoiler tag.

The "crisis" has just begun. If the series follows reality, what was shown in episode 3 is just the tip of the iceberg. Right now, Little Jane is squirming out of the love bombing trap Big Jane was snapping shut. His survival instincts are kicking in, but he's not fighting for himself, yet. He's struggling because of the things that he was told Big Jane was doing to others and what he heard and saw Big Jane saying and doing to his friend. Big Jane has yet to pull out the big guns of manipulation and outright control and aimed them directly at Little Jane. The crisis is going to ramp up when Big Jane realizes that Little Jane is fully willing and capable of freeing himself from the trap.

Regrettably, I can share, from experience, that when love bombing is combined with intense sexual attraction, things move very fast. A true, healthy connection doesn't have time to build, but it feels as though it has-- everything is heightened and it's hard to think rationally. By the time you begin to come to your senses and the dominoes begin to fall as rapidly as the faux connection was built, you're already mired in the engineered relationship and the person who enacted the love bombing, as a control tactic, makes it very difficult to untangle yourself. That's when the gaslighting and guilt-tripping begins, and things spiral out of control, sometimes dangerously.

Sadly, what they're showing in this series is very close to reality.

Let's be honest here: Bees have stronger survival instincts than Little Jane, who is evidently thinking with his "little Jane" instead of his brain.

His lack of a personality can't be blamed on the country bumpkin aspect, as his sister is overly vivacious. Clearly, his mother is very emotionally manipulative and treats him like his life is only worthwhile to get his family's needs met, but come on! His character being so weak makes me dislike the other character who's supposed drawn to him. Why is he drawn to him!? Is it because he'd a limp doormat? Ugh.

I agree. This could have been 8 episodes-- maybe 10. 12 is far too many. Episodes 8 & 9 could easily have been trimmed down to one episode. Same with 6 & 7.

Nope. Just no. Episode 4 depicted a level of patheticness in a character I cannot willingly stomach. I started skipping and fast-forwarding scenes, just to get the episode over with as fast as possible, which is a very bad sign. I am dropping this series with the same level of decisiveness as the ever-present down-turned mouth of the main character.

🤣🤣🤣 Your comment genuinely made me laugh.

Yes, people like me see things through rose-tinted glasses. I am optimistic and naive and I only see the best in life and people; somehow, I am also uptight while being pansexual and accepting of most sexual practices that would make the vast majority of people blush bright scarlet red just hearing about them, much less attempting to practice them. I have been sheltered from the rigors of life and I have never experienced anything that would make others piss themselves or cry themselves to sleep in devastation.

If this is what you need to believe, child, to retain justification for your opinion, then you have my permission to do so.

Say what!? This story is toxic to the max and much of the viewers' reactions are, as well.

I do appreciate that Little Jane found Big Jane disturbing for that type of reasoning. That was the moment when Little Jane knew that Big Jane was no good, no matter how handsome or how he tried to convince Little Jane.

I agree with you, entirely.

Big Jane's behaviors, especially when Little Jane isn't looking directly at him or isn't in his presence, points to someone who is problematic. I keep remembering how he stared at Little Jane with frustration and anger during their Valentine's meal, when Little Jane didn't want to spend the night with him. That's not someone who reads as trustworthy nor emotionally healthy. He also keeps pushing Little Jane's boundaries and is constantly love bombing him and gaslighting him.

I'm enjoying the Big Jane character, but never for a second do I perceive him as anything other than unhealthy and dangerous, and while it would ruin the drama, I would prefer for Little Jane to stay at least a hundred feet away from him at all times.

The viewers who are blaming Little Jane for his very understandable behavior in this story are worrisome. I keep thinking, 'These people have very weak boundaries and the survival instincts of mollusks. Hopefully, they're simply too young and inexperienced to know better.'

Same! 😂

Funnily, our sun is a star, as all stars are suns.
