Loved, loved, loved their chemistry ❣️

When I heard that we would get to see these two boys in a series together again after ten years, I was incredibly moved. I knew before the premiere that it wouldn’t be their story after Addicted, since they didn’t get the rights from the author, so I was expecting something different.

The first four episodes was overall good. Even though it was clear from the start that the series had a fairly low budget, the shots throughout were beautiful and the chemistry between the two leads might be some of the best I’ve ever seen. That chemistry was honestly what kept me watching until the end.

The script, however, had holes from the very beginning, and the direction didn’t help at all. Aside from the gorgeous cinematography and the main couple’s chemistry, I didn’t find much else interesting. Each episode felt worse than the one before, and the writing became almost nonsensical in the final episodes. For such a short series, there were far too many filler scenes. I won’t even comment on the second couple.

Despite all that, I finished it, mostly for emotional reasons and out of respect for these two amazing actors, who kept the promise they made to their fans even ten years later.

I can’t give it more than 7 out of 10, and even that seems pretty generous overall.

Still, I really hope to see them together again in another project with a tighter script, their chemistry is absolutely chef’s kiss. 🤌
