News better as it went on
Overall: the beginning was cringey; however, the series kept getting better and better. 12 episodes about 50 minutes each. https://www.iq.com/play/mr-fanboy-episode-1-1dyrv206y2o?lang=en_us
Content Warning: panic attack, manipulation, slap, intimate partner abuse (not between the main or side couple)
Watch Suggestions (to cut out a lot of the manager/show drama and focus on the romantic relationships)
- I might go back and re-watch episodes 1 & 2 for timings
- episode 3 watch 18-24:30, 41-49, 53-58
- episode 4 watch 4 3:40-4:11, 17:15-22, 43-45:20, 49-end
- episode 5 watch 16-end
- episode 6 watch 18:10-22:30, 43:45-end
- episode 7 watch beginning -7:30, 33:45-37:20, 1hr-1hr 6
- episode 8 watch beginning-35:50, 40:45-end 8
What I Liked
- showed other acting pairs with cameos
- acting, James in particular was fantastic
- sweet moments
- intimacy (good consent in episode 8)
- chaos gremlin
Room For Improvement
- the stalking thing in episode 1, he was in the wrong but then threatened to drag the company on social media so then the company caved
- fan stuff was a bit cringey
- too much with catty managers (felt like stereotypes of effeminate men/trans women)
