Not as enjoyable or memorable as I would have liked :-(
Finished this by skipping through most of the final episodes.
I went in with pretty high hopes because I found the first few episodes promising. The actors are all wonderful and I enjoyed the idea behind the show, but, for me, it wasn't as enjoyable or memorable as I would have liked. Why? Let me tell you quickly below...
1. The guys and their friendship should have been a highlight for me and at first it kind of was, except when that friendship came before anything and everything, especially wrong and right.
2. The guys... most of them were truly big ol' 15 year olds in 41 year old bodies. They didn't grow up. They didn't change as a result of the things they'd been through etc. Most of the show was them covering for their cheating friend, dodging adult behavior in favor of teenager-like behavior, and so on.
3. The romance I wanted to love, but it was lackluster and after a cute scene or two, was pretty much boring and unbelievable.
I wanted to love it. I only liked it instead.
I wouldn't re-watch considering I barely finished it, but it wasn't horrible either thanks to the wonderful actors.
