FKA REY

One interesting creative choice in this series is that none of the three main characters is likable. They’re all toxic to varying degrees, which gives a certain charm to their interactions. The story strays a bit from the beaten path to explore emotions that are less conventional than usual. The three actors know their craft and deliver strong performances; it’s good casting.

That said, even when the show surprises (in the script, the narrative, etc.), it never really takes risks — as if the viewer always has to stay on familiar ground. That’s somewhat unfortunate, because the series loses depth because of it. The ending is a good example: very conventional, and inevitably a bit disappointing. A little more boldness might have turned this good series into a very good one.
