In Between (2020) Episode 12: Pagtanggap

I love Episode 12: Pagtanggap. The plot/storyline was clear. It's all about acceptance -- acceptance about himself on Nin's part and acceptance wholeheartedly given to him by his Boom Harot gang. This episode was definitely the #Pangs episode that will surely jumpstart their spinoff series. Screenplay was good. It wasn't overdramatic and preachy. If it were another series, there would have been a lot of unnecessary crying. This episode was handled beautifully. It had some magnificent lines. As expected, the shirtless pool scene with Tau, Otep, and Nin was nice but the dialogues were nicer. For example, Tau said "If they will judge us, then let them. What's important is we are not hurting anyone." During the big reveal scene that introduced Makisig to the Boom Harot gang, Nicole had this to say: "Remember, there is no problem in loving... What's wrong is people's dirty minds. We are very proud of you... We will support you all the way." Speaking of Nicole, she deserves a good storyline! Across the board, acting was good. I continue to like the audio-visuals of these last couple of episodes. Experiencing the effects of the pandemic, there's something about the beautiful outdoors that calms me. Somehow, it tells me that things will get better. Last two episodes people! I hope this series continues to get better as well!
