I just started this. It's excellent. I had originally watched the Netflix version so I wanted to have a good break before I watched this so my perspective would be fresh.
Definitely for viewers who enjoy intellectually stimulating and mature themes, especially of a slow burn, mindbending nature.
they swapped a 40 yr old ML with two FLS 37 and 35 with a 25 yr old ML Its not the same drama anymore
Yeah? Go on. Plenty of adult actors play teenagers, and there are actors whose characters age significantly as well. What does their real age have to do with anything?
ppl need to stop clutching their pearls about this age gap omfg they're both adults and don't even look far apart.…
I think age gaps are more of a big deal when you're young. There's a big difference between a 15 and 20 year old, but between 25 and 30, it's nothing. Providing the younger one isn't like 18-21 and the older one is like 40+ (then it can be predatory and inappropriate).
What's more, they're acting, it's not real life. I don't care what age the actors are, it's irrelevant.
They're acting, it's not real... It doesn't matter how old the actor is, just how they look. Actors play characters who are different ages. Anyway, plenty of real couples have big age gaps. My parents had 18 years. In my experience, the more people move into adulthood, age ceases to matter. Providing the younger one is not 18-21. Age gaps seem much bigger when you're young, but when you cross into your mid 20s and then into your 30s, it matters less and less because you have more adult life experience. There is a big gap between 15 and 20, but 25 to 30 is very close, and the gap between 30 and 40 is also quite small in terms of maturity.
I'm so disappointed. Two of my favourite actors... But my god the writing and directing is so mediocre. I am trying so hard to like it, but it's just so underwhelming. Based on the comments, the second half is worse, but the first half is already boring me. There is nothing wrong with the plot per se, it's the script and the execution. There's no tension, no angst.
