Monstermilo 5,172 Posted December 12, 2025 Share Posted December 12, 2025 if theyre going to go through 10 years worth of storyline time 6 episodes is not enough, especially when one episode is dedicated to SKIP i actually like skip more as a couple and i felt like last episode was the strongest of the four released so far.

Jacob Tierney would've fought tooth and nail to get this show greenlit and they've done a fantastic job bringing these characters to life on the screen. Do I wish we had more than 6 episodes? Absolutely. Do I think they've done a faithful adaptation? 100%. Episode 4 was EVERYTHING. We're definitely getting another season with a higher budget so just watch and enjoy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see someone else agreeing with episode 4 😍 The start of the club scene with Ilya and Shane seeing one another’s friends and knowing they must be at the same club starting to looking around … 🧑🍳 💋 Edited December 12, 2025 by Hachi Update 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUTELLA 15,483 Posted December 12, 2025 Share Posted December 12, 2025 Finished eps 3 & 4 Sorry to spray Haterade everywhere, but I’m amazed by how boring/hollow all of these characters are- both individually & when interacting with each other. This show is just (very tedious) p0rn…. & even then, all of its sex scenes feel weirdly sexless?? lmaoooo Will keep watching.
