Definitely worth watching
I have seen so many shows with a unique premise that just abaddon it within the first couple of episodes, but not this show.
They actually use the premise throughout the show, sure sometimes there is less focus on it, but it's never ignored and always has some relevance to what's going on.
Caged again is about two zoo animals (a penguin and a panther) who both end up becoming humans. They both have different views on what it means to be human and free. Since Son (the panther) has been human longer, he has seen a lot more of the bad things humans can do, and therefore tries to protect Junior (the penguin) from getting his bubble burst and seeing how bad some people can be.
This leads Son to hide things from Junior that he definitely should have told him, both for the sake of honesty but also for the sake of safety. Even though he did it with good intentions, it is not okay to hide the fact that they are in danger from someone, but no-one can be perfect, especially when they are new to the whole friends thing.
Son and Junior's cemetery is so good.
The acters did an amazing job portraying their emotions and feelings for each other. The way they look at each other with so much love in their eyes and how they protect and care for each other feels so genuine.
Jodd and Jeng were so sweet.
You can see how comfortable they feel around each other. Just being around the other made them feel at ease, without needing to say a whole lot.
I wish we could have seen more of an actual relationship between them, and not just "friendship". I don't get why they didn't make them an actual couple earlier when they so clearly were ready for it.
Ton and Nat are iconic.
Like what do you mean they have a happy relationship with mutual understanding and respect for each other? What do you mean they don't play into any stereotypical gender roles? What do you mean they wear animal costumes and roleplay in the forest?
It's just iconic behaviour.
I was kinda annoyed that the outro is just white text on a black background, because the song is a banger, and it's annoying not having anything interesting to look at while listening to the outro.
If you are looking a show with happy and healthy relationships between both teenagers and adults with no toxic gender norms or stupid misunderstandings, then you have come to the right place.
