Good trashy TV

This show is... wild. I may have a lot of criticism but despite it all it was quite entertaining. I was fully engaged with the show for a good 14 eps, I fully watched up till ep 18 and then skipped through 19-22 then dropped it. I actually enjoyed the show up till about ep 10 or whenever the ML started being too toxic for my liking.

Story- The pacing of the story is very choppy and fast, especially in the beginning. The episodes are short (11-20ish mins each). Pretty much every other scene is some kind of whacky setup for the leads to end up in a raunchy situation. This is kind of fun and entertaining but it becomes a bit much after a while. I'm all for soapy, cheesy, and crazy plots but the execution is not quite there for me with this one. I REALLY liked the leads' dynamic in the beginning but then the ML got crazy controlling and toxic, and the aggressive non-consensual stuff was a huge turn-off for me. Also as I got deeper into the show, I kept having more and more "huh??" moments, where things just didn't make sense and the plot holes were just too big for me to look past.

Acting- I don't have any complaints about the acting. The leads definitely have great chemistry which really holds the show together.

Music- The songs themselves are good, but the way they're used/edited in is pretty bad. The Foley effects are also noticeably bad. I don't expect anything great as this seems to be a lower budget series but I've seen so many low budget productions manage to pull off music and sound design much better than this.
