This was one of my most anticipated shows of that year's lineup. The first episode did a great job of setting up the premise and I recall feeling giddy at how everything would play out. WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED after that? How did this end up being so bad? I'm genuinely baffled. They had all the right elements to make this a banger and they fumbled every single one. The story was non-existent, the pacing was a mess, the characterisation was shallow and non-sensical. William and Est and their iconic chemistry did their best with what they had but even the of best actors could not have saved this tragedy of a show.

To name some of the very few positives, the colour grading was gorgeous, and the aesthetics in general were extremely pleasing to the eye. Also the second couple's storyline had at least some semblance of structure (which was completely mia for the lead couple), they also had great chemistry and they single-handedly kept me from completely dropping this from episode 3. Aaand that's all.

Please, don't waste the actor's talent and efforts on lazy projects with non-existent plots. It's disrespectful to them and it's disrespectful to the audience.
