solid coming of age/romance story
Overall: unique premise with stellar acting. 6 episodes about an hour each. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/7716/ticket-to-heaven-2026-e01 (in US, UK, Germany, France) ; Viki https://www.viki.com/tv/41493c-ticket-to-heaven#episodes ; YouTube https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLszepnkojZI7uWKLBqfRqXvmH3uACl2iw&si=FTX9_Ypgk6M-RZ8E
(available in most countries in Africa and Southeast Asia (not Thailand))
Content Warnings: homophobia, bullying, (past homophobia, child abuse/violence and murder in defense can skip episode 4 57:40-60min), past death
What I Liked
- acting
- premise/setting
- cinematography (and how people looked like real people instead of dolls)
- a trans character who was not a stereotypical comedy relief character
Room For Improvement
- the Catholic Church had done and continues to do a lot of harm to many people, this was very glossed over
- didn't address the unfairness of his mom's prison sentence
- at times it was slow but then in the finale we rocketed past things
