It's not slow, but it's thorough.
Only light spoilers, nothing big.
This series was never high on my list until I loved Santa in P10L and had to watch his back catalogue of work.
Instantly this became one of my all time favourite series. It is slow in that each plot point is really dealt with slowly and authentically. Things don't magically get fixed or become better. Everything seems realistic, all the difficulties and all the celebrations are relatable. Its set in the 1990s-2000s and when the two main characters get their first mobiles, it's fun to watch them have to top up so they can send messages. They see the wonder of MSN Messenger. And as the audience we get to see what effect these have.
I'm not good at reviews, sorry! One thing to know before you go into it, if you wish to, is that it doesn't contain any NC scenes. There are lots of kisses and cuddles though - LOTS! I'm normally a 'more naked the better' viewer so for me to say this, it's a big deal, but I didn't need the NC. Watching the emotions comes through was enough.
The entire cast are excellent! I was a little irritated by Seeiaw's whining sometimes because for me, as an English person, it was very nasal and whiny which I struggle with. It wasn't a big deal though. His actual crying in the sad scenes was excellent - the acting from Santa and Earth is Oscar-worthy.
I know I'm going to watch this again already!!
