swam in circles (watch suggestions)

Overall: yet another miscommunication/refused to communicate trope that dragged on waaaayyyyy too long. Aired on Viki https://www.viki.com/tv/40857c-somethings-not-right

Content Warnings: unwanted outing, stalking/harassment, coercion

Watch Suggestions (focus on sweet moments with the main couple)
- episode 1 watch 13:55-15:55 and 25-end
- episode 2 watch beginning to 5:10
- episode 3 watch 6:30-13:15, 20-23
- episode 4 watch beginning to 1:25
- skip episodes 5 and 6
- episode 7 watch 16:50-21:30
- episode 8 watch 15-20:55 and 28:30-end (can watch in between 20:55 and 28:30 to watch endings for the other characters)

What I Liked
- easy to understand premise
- the friend group (although they shared 1 brain cell)
- visuals
- production value

Room For Improvement
- the cliche lack of communication plot, completely spineless and gave up after he refused to clearly communicate, acted like a jerk to his friend
- one main character was unbelievably dumb/dense
- the near non con kiss (I don't think it actually happened)
- the third character got on my nerves
- multiple flashbacks
- running cliche
- nonsense writing: the reason why a person doesn't confess romantic feelings to a friend is they don't want to ruin a friendship; however, since a character in this series was totally fine blowing up their friendship, it made zero sense to me why he refused to clearly communicate
