look, william & est's chemistry are the only reason this has a six and a half rating from me. if their solid acting and chemistry were absent, this easily would have been a two.

the headline is a flabbergaster because how the hell can something be boring and be rage-worthy, at the same time? well, they sure made it happen with this. dean & moth's toxic ass push / pull dynamic had me literally throw a towel by episode nine. by episode six, the sh't was boring as hell then i was just agitated watching the cat & mouse BS happen every episode. i wanted so badly to root for their relationship but dean was the worst. his reasons ended up being rooted in trauma but his non-committal promiscuous crap was just so gross. nothing about him was relationship material. i am glad that moth chose furthering his career path instead of staying.

dean & moth clearly fell in love earlier on in the show and it was actually reasonable enough to believe. they spent lots of time together and even had moments of good communication THEN THAT DIED. even by the very end, they never had a real confession of their feelings. forget that though, tell me how they just decided to skip dean's cruelty to moth on the second to last day of dean's father's funeral??? that broke immersion for me instantaneously. truly, there was no way they ended up just acting like everything was okay after dean admitted the deception and severed their relationship because of the events going on at the time. i was flummoxed and they absolutely exhausted me.

the quality of the production was there. there were some blips but they were easily overlooked. the writing / story, however, is not excusable. the casual sanism and AI usage were not it at all either. shout out to barcode and the greenflag dr. punn [kin].
