Enjoyable
If Only Friends: Dream On only existed to showcase how insanely talented Mix is as an actor, then honestly, it was already worth making.
That one-shot scene from the bathroom to the stage? Absolutely incredible. Easily one of the standout moments of the entire series. I also really loved Boston and Nick’s scene, which hit surprisingly hard emotionally and wrapped up their storyline from the original series well. Overall, the acting across the cast was genuinely strong, especially from Mix, Boom, and Earth.
But that’s also kind of where my praise stops.
I don’t think this is a bad series at all. In fact, it’s still entertaining and easy to binge. But there’s just something missing that keeps it from fully landing for me emotionally. Maybe my expectations were simply too high after the original Only Friends, or maybe the series never fully reached the emotional depth and intensity it felt like it was building toward.
I can’t fully explain it, but by the end, I was left feeling more impressed by individual performances and scenes than by the story as a whole.
Still, I’d definitely recommend it to people who are curious. It’s an enjoyable watch, and the cast alone makes it worth checking out.
