Great leading couple, everything else is background
Flash review--
THE GOOD
The leading couple is everything in this. Their portrayal. Their chemistry. The way they treat each other (except--). Just a pleasure to watch.
Some fun magic.
The FL characterization is just fun.
The 2ML is a cutie both in appearance and his characterization
THE UNREMARKABLE
Pretty much everyone else in this are painted in shades of gray. And it kinda works? Like, it mostly just forces the focus to stay on the leads and that is great because they are wonderful
But seriously, almost any time there's another character, I'm like "who is that" followed by "why do i care" but blessedly also followed by "oh good they're offscreen again quickly, back to the leads"
THE BAD
There is some really unpleasant plot stuff about halfway through. And unfortunately it isn't brief, it drags on for multiple episodes, way longer than it needed to.
Multiple times the FL is sidelined or has her agency removed. Really frustrating, especially when she's carrying the series.
