Not bad but not good.
This started great, but somewhere along the way it got lost. The show kept setting up interesting plot lines and then not delivering.
Thee is supposed to be in lots of danger, to the point that he carries a giant gun all the time and has a security detail follow him 24/7. But then Peach is uncomfortable with all that, so Thee stops and that's it. That's the end of that plot.
Thee isn't allowed to fall in love, and doesn't want his father to know about Peach and this is set up as very serious, but when the father finds out, it's fine. All that buildup and the dad basically shrugs it off. There was the plot of the rival mafia guy and that was built up like it would be a big deal but it ended in two episodes and isn't ever brought up again. Perth and Santas characters pop up and then disappear randomly. We're shown a breakup scene which implies a lot of angst and unresolved problems within the relationship, then they just get back together. Towards the end Thee gets jealous and has to have the concept of jealousy explained to him, which I didn't understand because Thee was jealous over Santa's character previously.
Oh, and Peach reveals that he's never been with a man before. That's a big deal and it's presented in a serious tone.... and never mentioned again.
Anyway, I was waiting for Peach to start showing some affection for Thee but it didn't really happen? Thee was so obsessed with him and the whole show Peach seemed totally neutral. Even when he was proposed to he seemed lukewarm. It just feels like this had so much potential, with a lot of plots that should have been good, but none of them went anywhere.
