The problem with this series isn’t that the script is weak, it’s that it’s fundamentally misguided. I can deal with a weak script if the core idea is solid but just poorly developed. But deciding to base the plot around an alleged rape and treating that as a good narrative choice? Sorry, but that was a huge misstep. Dragging out the false rape storyline for two whole episodes was wrong, and the way the topic was handled, so carelessly and without depth, made it even worse. It was a string of bad decisions that should never have made it past the writing room.

I don’t blame the actors, though. They did the best they could with what they were given. Overall, I actually enjoyed the performances of the six main actors and thought the chemistry between the couples was strong. Arm came off a bit stiff at first, but he grew into the role nicely. Tum and Klah definitely deserved more screen time. The jealous female characters felt unnecessary. I look forward to seeing this cast again in future series, but with a better script.
