I have always yearned for a gay themed series that isn't afraid to tackle good conversations and good character narratives. However, I lost so much interest right at the beginning of the show when the guy was dismissing the architect coworker based on them being colleagues (acceptable) and that he still collects pokems. His latter reason reminded me of how superficial the masses can be. I struggled to root for his character after this because that character who was dismissed based on these 2 notions gave a chick flick mean vibe.
I had hoped for deeper and more meaningful characters, that I could go on and yearn for their comeback in another season. The deep conversations could simple stem from pushing away the stereotypical narratives of what's considered right to date. The LGBTQIA community is well known for trend setting yet we fail so dismally at portraying our wide diverse love for people who are not so adequately social than us or perhaps different than masses. I want to see the shy boy get in love, I want to see how he navigates his shy vibes through either a good or a toxic relationship. There must be a reason that they are interested in things that the masses aren't interested in. I want that. Not the "let's catch a Starbucks coffee while shading everyone else we deem unequal". After watching there's nothing to it, the feelings don't last. I don't think about it. There aren't profound life lessons that make me want to hold onto it.
