Sorry, but I have to get something off my chest.
Those producers/writers are damn lazy and have never seen a real lab and know nothing about science. From those silly helmets with LED lights to those test tubes with colorful liquids (yellow, blue, pink) to the big screen data projection. I know it's supposed to be futuristic, but it's silly. I just watched Chris writing something on his iPad while looking at that big screen where you see some colorful brains rotating. What is he writing? Whatever data he collects, it will be sent to his computer where he can do a statistical analysis, which nobody does on an iPad. There is no need for a projection on the wall, and sure there is no need to look at that wall and then take handwritten notes. If I had to work in such a lab, I can guarantee you, I would never look at that big screen. What am I supposed to do with the shiny data? Get inspired by the colors?
There are some grown ass adults involved in this series, but they do zero research. They don't care. They don't even think about it logically. It just has to look cool.

Lol, no wonder I was looking for Omegas in the OMEGAverse since day 1, and didn't find any.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're incredible talented and creative. I have never seen that plot before.

I think the writers wouldn't even know what to do with them if they had more screen time.
I hope there is no season 3. They will ruin their relationship for sure.

Soooooo we will get KimKenta together for maybe 3 minutes in the next episode?
And I waited 5 weeks for it?
That's crazy.

They are mocking us, aren't they?
Since ep 8 we got nothing.

"Grandios" würde ich diese Serie jetzt nicht nennen, aber Geschmäcker sind bekanntlich verschieden.
Btw: Warum schreibst du auf Deutsch? Das werden hier nicht viele verstehen.

You're joking. For real? That's unfair, though. I'm glad they get paid well, but ... I mean, screen time should matter.

I wonder what those actors get paid. They are involved in promotions and stuff, but almost no screen time.

The actor playing Tony is the producer of the show.

You really wrote that ass long comment without any common sense?
So you're a coming at me ... with what?
I talked about MDL, a site I visit since 2017. People here are very critical and mostly polite. There is not much hate on this site, mostly frustrations if people are disappointed in a series. It can get too negative sometimes, that's true, but in general this is not a site where people are just hating for the sake of hating.
You want to disprove my point by linking Reddit posts?
What ...?
I was not talking about Reddit, I was talking about MDL!
So I have no life? That's your argument? Very creative. Never heard that before.
I know the swamp, the (gay) porn wattpad/fanfiction swamp so well, because I was part of it many years ago. I crawled my way out of it, not as a reader, but as a writer. I have a passion for gay romance/BL still to this day. I know those stories, and how badly they are written. I know those "fans" and how crazy horny they are. I wrote my fair share of gay porn too in my life, that was the moment people recognized my "writing talent" - when I was writing gay porn. Makes me shake my head to this day. There is nothing wrong with having a guilty pleasure, but let's not pretend a trashy series is a masterpiece. Or well, let's pretend, why not? It doesn't matter. How you see from my 1st post, I wish those actors all the best and hope for a better series. If such a trashy series is needed to make those boys popular, then so be it. I'm not judging. I'm not writing hate comments. I'm not writing bad reviews. I'm just saying this is bad, which everyone whose brain is not between his legs, should recognize. Or not. Honestly, it doesn't matter. We all have to make a buck at the end of the day.

You find the most constructive criticism on this side. People aren't hating. Read the comments. People are talking about this series much more than it deserves. And don't come at me, I know the swamp better than anyone.
This series is based on a crappy wattpad porn story how so many others. Those stories are popular, because they make the readers horny, so the companies know there is a big fanbase. That's their way to minimize the risk of a series not doing well since they are always short on money. Those series are low budget. Old story. I'm here because I love BenzGarfield. Only reason.

This series is crap.
That said, I'm really glad, if it's true, and it‘s overall well received. I find those actors very charming and wish them all the best. I want to see them in better projects. Really nice guys. I enjoyed "Boys Journey" where they were playing games. So fun and lovely. Much more entertaining than this kinky sappy cringey sci-fi racing omegaverse wattpad porn story I have to endure to see them.

What's imsy?

I watched TayNew first in Kiss (2016). It's almost 10 years. Nobody thought back then that those couples would last very long, or that they would be still in the industry when they are over 30. They did BL to get popular, to earn a quick buck. It was all about young and pretty boys being cute. Nobody took the BL genre serious.
They have come a long way, really.
Tay is 33, looking better than ever. Same for New.
I'm so glad that those actors grew up with their fans. I'm looking forward to more projects of older actors.

This series is full of kinks and fetishes. Most likely the reason for the popularity. Seeing such a big muscular guy like Garfield being abused turns people on. I said what I said.

I lost hope that this company will give Garfield and Benz their own series.
Maybe that's for the better. They concentrate on couples that will do heavy NC scenes. Most likely, BenzGarfield must go down the same route, and I'm not here for it. The company will milk them to the last drop. Also, since those two have crazy chemistry in real life, and Benz is shameless when it comes to fan service, those psychotic shippers will crawl out of their holes and cause drama.

Out of topic: But am I the only one who thinks the BL industry should stop doing so many NC scenes? It's getting boring. They rely too much on it. I'm a sucker for good NC scenes, when the moment is right, the chemistry is right, the writing is good. But that's rarely the case. Lately, I find myself constantly skipping NC scenes. I even watched the censored version of a series, so I don't have to deal with this crap. I miss the good old days, when people were going crazy about a couple's chemistry. A kiss alone was highly anticipated and when done well, shared all over the internet with excitement. The hype! Now it's just ... meh. BenzGarfield are still such a rare couple. If they are smart, they won't do too many NC scenes in the future. It will kill the excitement. That's my whole point: it kills the excitement when you have seen it all. I was never a fan of the CharlieBabe couple, but nobody can force me to watch them getting it on the 100th time. Give me a break.

There won't be any. They would advertise it like crazy. They didn't. So no scenes this time either.

I have to disagree with you on the MethasJJ story in TLDHLB. It was simple, yes, rich guy with sad backstory who thinks he can buy everything with money, good guy who teaches him about real affection that cannot be bought - but it was not cringe. Maybe it wasn't your type of humor? It was funny, cute, romantic, and despite the simplicity of the characters, Benz and Garfield acted the hell out of what they were given. I swear every facial expression was on point. You can rewatch their scenes many times, and every time you find something new. Especially Benz had the time of his life acting as Methas. Not to mention that we got many "intimate" scenes like every physical therapy scene, how they came closer, physically and well, emotionally. I honestly loved Garfield's soft voice in many of those scenes. I loved his friendship with Plawan. The character was very likeable and lively. On the other hand, Benz was meant to play the beautiful cocky prince, who wasn't really that cocky, how we discovered early on. It's a feel-good story, very heart-warming. Compared to that, the Pitbabe drama with Kenta being a dumb loyal dog (he is not the smartest), and Kim having zero charms since they put him in those grandpa clothes in s2 is damn depressing. The whole series is toxic, dark and puts you in a bad mood. I must say I prefer MethasJJ.
I agree with everything else though.
