Should have been shorter
If you like rides on the tractor and the slower pace of the countryside, the first seven episodes of Sold Out on You are perfect. The characters' traits are quickly established and then repeatedly reaffirmed. A solid supporting cast surrounds the ML and FL but contributes little to the story beyond support. Familiar tropes are introduced and breezily resolved. Dramatic tension and substantive reveals are largely withheld until Episodes 8–12, when earlier breadcrumbs are gathered and new elements introduced to bring the series to its feel-good conclusion. In their opposites-attract, caretaker/wounded dynamic, the ML and FL establish their initial positions so thoroughly that the attraction itself feels less compelling, though viewers who enjoy the leads will certainly get plenty of screen time. Given the material, I would have preferred fewer episodes, but the elements of a better series were clearly present. Sigh.
