Not what I expected by a masterpiece in its own right
This was not what I was expecting. I thought it would be a lot sadder and more angsty.It’s simply a story about two Christian boys falling in love, and that’s the beauty of it. Both go through a lot of mental turmoil trying to reconcile their faith with their life experiences and love, only to realize in the end that they didn’t HAVE to choose.
I’m agnostic, so I’m not a big fan of organized religion, but this show didn't feel like Catholic propaganda to me, and I think interpreting it as such is simply due to a misunderstanding of the characters and their choices. In the end, they both choose a much more personal relationship with their God that gives them peace. I think this show is unlike anything I’ve ever seen and people struggling with similar battles might be able to watch this to gain a new perspective without feeling like they’re being attacked simply for being Christian.

A fun way to pass time
The story isn’t too complicated, but it also has some substance. The actors did a great job and had pretty good chemistry. Some parts read like a PSA on having good dental hygiene, which I thought was cute and worked well for the plot.Overall, if you don’t think too much about it, you’ll have fun.

A beautiful story
This is a really beautiful and well-done series. Yes, you’ll be confused 80% of the time, but that’s the point, and it’ll mostly make sense in the end. I saw a few reviews that said most of it wasn’t necessary, and the story could’ve been told in fewer episodes. I kinda agree, but I also think that the journey is the best part of the series. This is definitely the kinda show where you rewatch it and start noticing all the details that you hadn’t before.Was this review helpful to you?
