I was… slightly unsure of how to rate this one to be honest. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Was it actually good? Not…really. In the end I settled for a 6.5, because if you don’t mind turning your brain off for a bit to watch some sometimes dark, soulmate adjacent, occasionally clunky, mindless television, well. This show is certainly no hardship to binge.

To speak of its faults, like I said, it’s sometimes clunky. Some of the dialogue is a little stilted. The romance swings between between sappy sweet and darkly obsessive (with a hint of dystopian flair) with characters sometimes having little noticeable motivation for the switch. It also kind of just…ends? I genuinely don’t know that I’ve ever seen a show speedrun an “actually everything is fine” conclusion faster. And that’s not to mention the questions we didn’t get answers to.

HOWEVER. The premise is intriguing as hell. The characters are interesting. The romance is far from the stiffest I’ve seen. And some of the issues the show does have (pacing, dropped plot lines) clearly come from the fact the each episode is so short, which isn’t something they could have done much about.

To sum it up; no, the show isn’t really all that amazing. But I did watch it all in one day, and for me, that’s a feat. So take that as you will.
