Amusing at times, but over all not for me
May 2025
Generally, this was an OK watch, but I have to admit that if the ML had been someone less watchable in my eyes, I might have dropped it.
KJW is a great actor; he can do anything, from silly, shy, naive, to mean and terrifying. His side eye and comic timing is great, too. All (and only) that, kept me engaged.
Many of the characters were hard work, and it went on too long, with some scenes feeling unnecessary.
The FL character went from insanely put upon, to manicly fierce, and I didn't find it believable. Her ability to carry on functioning pretty much as normal, given her diagnosis, was a step too far. Even with that, I found her hard to like. No problem with the actress, though.
Not awful, but not memorable either. I completed it a short while ago, but am behind on reviews... have forgotten much of it already!
