did not work as a romance
Overall: there was no redemption arc after what we saw in episode 4 and what happened afterwards. 10 episodes about 1 hour each. Aired on WeTV https://wetv.vip/en/play/obtd828nav226mm/e4101k2fgrj-EP01%3A_Yesterday_(Uncut_Ver.)
Content Warnings: murders, attempted murder, sexual assault, implied rape off screen, blood, kidnapping/held against will, stalking, manipulation, beaten up, violence, near suicide off screen, blackmail, self harm, non con kissing, gaslighting, past murders
What I Liked
- chemistry/intimate scenes done well
- different type of plot
- styling
- two smart and capable women
Room For Improvement
- the continuous time jumps back and forth made it confusing/choppy even with over an hour per episode (finally more clear in episode 4 but that was way too long to be confusing)
- after a character who supposedly loved another character attempted to murder, (I can't believe he said "I tried to hold him back") his best friend, cut his face so no one else would find him attractive/want to be with him and then raped him in episode 5, the romance was ruined, there was no redemption arc that could make me want that character to be in a romance with anyone and the near instant forgiveness felt fake
- nonsense plot and character actions continuously took me out of the story, a few examples: a character didn't find it odd he had no verbal/video communication from a certain person, turned out he had his phone the whole time?!, cameras were everywhere until they weren't
- did not care about the business drama
