It's Okay to Be Sensitive (2018)

I wouldn't have watched this web series if I hadn't seen a viral clip on it on twitter and I'm grateful and glad that I did.

While it's mostly an episodic series, it manages to tackle a lot of issues that I think is important for the youth to think about even if it means character development and story is pretty much stagnant. From the teaser you practically already know who these characters are because they pretty much stay the same throughout the show. Even though it's like this, you can't help but root for the characters and love them.

I think it's a must watch because it raises a lot of issues and point of views and serves them all in bitesized episodes that are easy to digest and binge watch. It may not be that popular of a web show but it's a damn important one.

I really enjoyed it. It was funny and smart and satisfying. I tend to prefer full dramas to web dramas but they utilized their platform really well. Even though the episodes were short, they didn't feel like it and they managed to feel complete. This show did an excellent job telling compact stories that still together created a cohesive narrative.

These actors were nearly all completely new to me but they all did an excellent job. The characters were different from one another but their relationships were believable and felt familiar and realistic. Their growth and change was subtle but excellent.

I found myself laughing during most most episodes and I was also very impressed with the powerful lines and lessons they all contained. Each episode deals with a different issue, ranging from creepy and sexist professors and sexual harassment (#MeToo) to navigating relationship problems, and they're handled well. But it also deals with the very real issue of the culture of sexism and misogyny and the pushback against change. The show discusses fear and power and fighting back against injustice.

This webseries is both very enjoyable and also extremely relevant and important. I am very glad that there is something out there like this and I hope that it is something that will inspire and empower others.
