I don't think that was the case at all. I mean, that's an element of it, but I think the film was about the dark world that preys on young gay teens because they have to turn to sketchier places due to the fact that they aren't allowed to be out in the open. Elijah's inclusion wasn't meant to be a juxtaposition to poverty, but a symbolic lamb to slaughter purely because of a world that looks down on him for his sexuality. As for the love interest... continued in a spoiler below.

Is he not gonna be in Between Us? The actress who plays his sister is listed as being cast.

They're casting in December, so this won't be out until next year. But at least it's coming out at all! I thought this would be another dropped project.

Thanks for the clarification!

It's not canceled, they just have to recast it, since Jimmy had to drop out, and Tommy came with him out of solidarity. They're gonna show Bed Friends first instead for that reason.

Ugh, okay, thank you for the spoiler! Too sad for me. Yet another interesting drama I'm gonna have to skip. >_<

Came here to ask that! What a bummer if that's the case. With the episode length, I suppose it would be more like a movie split in two.

Do people still not remember him? Like he never existed?

I understand that. I've seen shows that were able to lift me above their flaws due to their other merits. I guess it didn't quite get me this time. I do think the "life is unresolved" ending can work, but it takes a certain amount of skill and finesse to pull it off.

I feel like it may have been better if they just cut certain elements, or changed the circumstances. I can see places where they could have tightened things up and still maintained the overall story and feel. But that's just my opinion. I would have cared less if I'd hated it from the start or something, but it was because I liked some of what they were doing in the beginning that I felt let down. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though. It seems like a lot of people did, and that's great. I hope those actors do more BL.

There was a lot to like here in the first half, but it was just too short for what it was trying to do. Like the potential antagonist that they never explain who shows up to cause some minor mishaps, then just vanishes, despite his big plan to take over. The stuff with the family isn't even slightly resolved. It felt like it stopped halfway through the story. I feel like it was meant to have at least one more episode, but then it never came together. I dunno, I'm just sort of bummed. It wasn't a sad ending, but it definitely stops in the middle of the conflicts it presents, and it never explains anything. Like the whole "you didn't even let me explain." Well... can you tell us? No? You're just gonna go back to making out? Okay.

Drat, I was afraid it'd be another rerun. There are several more 2022 shows that have yet to secure release dates, three of which are either still filming or haven't even started filming, so I worry about release dates. I'm so impatient.

Thanks!

Can anyone verify how many episodes this show actually has?

Thanks! I'll give it a chance in that case.

...In the tag section. You have to click on it to see all of them. It has an LGBT tag too.

I'd like to know too, since it's tagged with a gay male lead, but that could mean different things.

Can someone tell me what the LGBT tag refers to (as far as what happens in the show)? I highly doubt there's anything substantial from what I'm seeing, but I'm trying to smooth out some lists.

Can anyone tell me (in a spoiler if necessary) who the "gay male lead" tag applies to? I'm on the fence with this show, but if one of the stories is LGBT, I'd like to check it out at least.

Can I ask for a spoiler with the ending? It seems like such a sad story, a sad ending too makes it feel pointlessly miserable. Is it more bittersweet? Or just mercilessly sad?

Haha, exactly!
