Disappointing
They should NOT have made this series at all. It should have ended in that movie which was bittersweet and dramatic.
I get it. The premise is great. What if it was a whole lie? What would happen? How would Bank cope and deal with the whole truth? How would he react? What really happened back then? Can Golf make Bank understand his circumstance back then? Will they be able to reconnect and ignore that 5-year-gap? Such a great premise! And they have Fluke Natouch (the sole reason why I even watched the whole thing), a great actor playing as Bank. I was excitedly expecting great water works, hysteria and all that sh*t because.. well.. every single person he trusted in his life lied to him this whole five years!
But what script did they gave him? Did they even give him a script? Considering all the screen time with no dialogues..
The whole series focused more on the other couples whom I had a hard time connecting to the main couple (oh I found out later on the series that they went to the same school the main couple did back then and that's just that. This would have been great as they were some sort of an "inspiration" for the later generations of lgbt+ couple if only they had placed a little more importance in expanding this point. Sadly, it was just thrown in as a conclusion of some sort).
The focal points that should have been stressed for the main story wasn't highlighted at all. It all just revolved in some teenage drama which isn't my cup of tea at all. In my opinion (keyword : MY), all of the sub couples' story didn't have that much of a substance plus zero chemistry between pairings.
What could have been a great story turned lame. They wasted their actors' (main) capabilities. Forgettable soundtracks. Such a waste.
It was depressing and agonizing to watch. I endured watching the whole series just for the sake of finishing it. I highly recommend NOT to watch at all.
On a side note, I was pleased that the issue of under-the-table things that happen in the entertainment world was addressed. I wasn't pleased that it was addressed wrongly. H*ll, even that perv producer (?) was highlighted more than the main couple.
