The Flatshare (2022)
5/10
Could still recommend it.

Interesting premise, want to call it avant-garde, it's not the amazing but it's definitely original which is why I thought it'd be interesting enough for a watch. Thought it'd be more of a comedy as well. I had a senior roommate in my freshman year and with our different schedules we literally almost never met so that's what caught my attention for this. It's nothing mind blowing, but it's no where near as bad as it could be or I expected it to be. If you're looking for a groundbreaking new show this might not be it, but it makes for a pretty decent pass time.

You can pretty much guess how it's gonna go as the characters have this "will they, won't they?" lure, not really from the chemistry they exude, more about the story just leading here naturally. Some of the side plots somewhat just as predictable. So the show's premise might be unique, but the characters not so much. I'm a sucker for awkward meet-cutes so I'll take it wherever I can. Still manages to throw in a couple surprises. The shows nothing spectacular but if you don't take it seriously, it's not the worst way to spend an afternoon, pretty easy binge with only 6 episodes.
