Does it get better as it goes along?
First episode wasn't bad, but it didn't pull me in either.
A bit too teen-oriënted for me.
(Which is a total bogus-reason concidering some of the stuff I watch. But it felt like it was a show aimed and marketed at teens, and exactly that. Whereas some teen-oriënted shows at least pretend to offersomething deeper.)
It definitely gets better with each episode. I mean, at the end of the day it is technically a teen romance, but (imo) thematically, it’s dealing with some of the most basic and inescapable aspects of the human experience like intimacy, grief, and the relationship between choices and consequences. The age of the characters was not something I noticed so much as the story went on. I think it’s maturely told story, and the stakes are amped up pretty quickly by the end of episode three. No lazy teen drama tropes or cliches in this one. This is all just my opinion, Ofc. It could just be that I really like English accents, and I think Alex Lawther is the most weirdly beautiful man on the planet. 😛
In any case, I think you should see it through to episode 4 before you decide to quit on it.
