So Much Potential, So Little Payoff
The concept was good. But the drama lost its way.
At first, it was a tight, claustrophobic social experiment. A girl cursed with this “gift,” a detective hiding his own broken past, a society rotting under moral policing. Each storyline, whether a SA victim shamed for her "excessive" lines or a brother reckoning with the hypocrisy of his cheating family, reflected an uncomfortable truth about how people judge sexuality.
And then… it happened. Suddenly, we’re in a dystopian fever dream. A teacher-turned-cult-leader summoning some “desire dimension”? Allegory, sure, but messy, rushed, and tonally WRONG. The characters stopped being people and became props. Even the boyfriend’s death felt cheap. Shock value over meaning.
Instead of finishing its moral conversation, S Line bailed, hiding behind symbolism and leaving its most interesting ideas to rot.
