Wonderful, but sad
This show really caught me by surprise. I’d barely seen any mention of it and didn’t hold out much hope for sticking with it, but without realising it really did pull me in and grab my attention.
Some of the acting was a little wobbly, but I find that a lot with these type of shows; luckily, the leads were fantastic, and really managed to capture the characters in their own unique ways.
I also feel like despite being a supernatural-comedy-drama, the series managed to tackle serious topics. One part that really struck me was the video of Phob’s mother admitting her true feelings; I found it very powerful and raw, and just so 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵. Also, the way Phat and his mother’s relationship developed slowly over the course of the episodes felt so natural, and I applaud the writing for that.
One thing I am angry about is that no one warned me how devastated the finale would be. I don’t know why I went into this thinking a story about a ghost and a human falling in love would have a happy ending, but I genuinely thought Dream would work some witchcraft or something and find away to keep Phob around; however, I can also admit that that may be a cheap idea and not all love stories can run as smooth as that. However, whilst they got to be together in the afterlife, the fact that Phat had to live a life and try and move on without Phob broke me. (When Phob came to take him away when it was his time, my poor dear brother received a bunch of voice notes of me sobbing my heart out, so that’s gonna be fun to live down.)
I do feel there were quite a few loose ends left over. Like, there was never anything resolved with Dream’s daddy issues; I genuinely thought something important would happen with the books she was left, or that something more would come of it, but there was nothing. Then there’s Luck’s whole thing with his parents and UFOs; we didn’t get an ending to that. Like, the bright lights he kept seeing, what was that all about? Was he just imagining it?
I’m glad I gave this show a watch. I really fell in love with the cast and despite how devastated I am by the ending, it was worth it, and thoroughly enjoyable.
