It could've been waaay much better...
I went into this expecting a simple rom-com with a quirky dystopian twist. And honestly? It had the potential to be exactly that: light, funny, and clever. But somewhere along the way, it lost itself.
The premise is actually very interesting: a world where only 1% of men remain, treated as rare, almost sacred beings, raised in isolation at the Farm and turned into something untouchable. The social commentary about gender imbalance, power, and commodification of men started off strong. It felt satirical, fresh, and full of possibilities. But instead of balancing comedy and critique, it slowly weakens both. The humor loses its sharpness, the social commentary fades, and what could’ve been bold becomes oddly safe.
The romance between Day and Son also feels watered down. It’s there, but it lacks depth and emotional payoff. Sorry not sorry. And I kinda feels Day little forced... I mean, the script wants her to be charismatic and revolutionary without properly earning it. I don't know... I just can't feel it in her.
What frustrates me the most is the ending. There’s an entire arc about exposing the truth behind the Farm, about breaking the system, about changing things from within. And when they finally exposed all the shit, I though: "Now they gonna be free for real and end the whole shit".... but no... they just run away... AGAIN.
And the open ending with cliffhanger?? The post-credits hinting that Son’s missing father might be alive, suggesting more story to tell, and not given me a 2° season????? B*tch you better be joking!!!
But I have tbh, it’s not a terrible series. It has good moments, the concept is fun, but overall it wastes its own potential. And that’s more disappointing than if it had just been shallow from the start.
