How refreshing it is to have a series about people and emotion with all its insecurities and peaks and troughs. Also reveals much of where we're at in times of relationships. It's never been easier with apps. It's never been harder to make anything work.
Refreshing in the sense, that it's not tainted by the over-inflated obsession with wokeism, which seemed to have started in America and now is common in certain aspects of other territories (eg BBC/ABC). They think they're 'opening doors' or saving the world or some such grandiose rubbish but all they're doing is segregating people into race and gender groups, the opposite of what they purport to be against.
All people all flawed. All have qualities. That's clear here. The emotions are raw and real and universal. It has that quality of truth lacking in most productions today, no matter how good they may look.
Not having seen what this is based on, it's hard to credit the writers with the story and content but whoever came up with it deserves credit. It's the honesty we need.
If there were some sort of survey, I guarantee you'd find that relationships are lasting for less time and fewer people are creating new ones. 'Fur babies' seems the preference over human ones. We've lost the art of real life connection. We've inadvertently, perhaps through the introduction of the internet, created a self absorbed culture. Where everyone's pretending to be happy, smiling face!... to keep up the social media façade of a great life.
And now we're seeing the results. People are floundering. They're lonely. There's never been so many people crying out for something real. This series reveals that. We want more 'realness' and less of the superficial. A phone cannot make you happy. It's a pretense as company but it's empty.
This is the antidote we need.
Very well made, in all areas. Acting, direction, music. And not stretched out to ten episodes like a lot of Netflix and co. Shows today. To the point.
Loved it.
