It's just an episode from a series, nothing special, it should not cost 10$, it's a cash grab.
Watched it primarily for the second couple hoping that the first is good as well.
What I enjoyed
The second couple had plenty of little moments, you can see their bond in all of their scenes, they behave like a couple that is dating for a while, they know what the other needs without words, they work together so well. I adore them, wish they would have had their own series but it is what it is.
They filmed in several locations, the cinematography looks great
What I didn't enjoy
The first couple is made of a rude bully with a good heart and a stalking, shy, nerd. Not my cup of tea.
The exposition dump was awful and the way the script was written was even worse, the editing was choppy, done with a scene, let's move to the next, wish the scenes were better connected. Characters are ,,stuck,, like a cartoon character doing a pose until the others finish doing what they were supposed to be doing, it's not natural. I won't say who but one of those actors really needs to improve their acting.
For me the price of this ,,episode,, is more than what I would pay in the cinema for a good movie so I will grade it as a movie. An 1 hour and a bit ,,movie,, 3/10.
If it was just a regular episode that you would not have to pay for I would give it a 5/10.
If the majority of the scenes were focused on the second couple considering they did not get an exposition dump, just naturally showed us their bond and that I personally enjoy that type of couple I would give them an 7/10.
I did not pay for it, would not recommend anyone pay for it because it is not ,,special,, in any way just an episode.
