Alt.Gameboys (2020)

This is how you do a teaser!

We were introduced to two of the main characters in Gameboys S1. We all know how that one turned out: as close to perfection as a drama could ever get. We got to dislike one of the characters, then saw a redemption arc second to none for him.

Riding on the wave of popularity of the original comes Alt. As a teaser, it really expands the Gameboys universe. It re-introduces us to the malaligned character and gives us insight into his situation. As an introduction to S2, it seems to be the perfect segway to the expanded universe.

IdeaFirst is now a household name in the BL and Asian Drama community and if Alt is any indication S2 will be as spectacular as S1!

CANT WAIT FOR THEIR OWN STORY

I sincerely believe their story will be much more interesting than Gav and Cai’s.

They’re both experiencing the shitty side of things and they’re both trying to get past the mess they’re in. I love how shows like Gameboys give importance to the supporting roles. It’s not pushed and everything about this seemed natural.

I’m glad they met each other really!! AND I AM SO STOKED TO SEE THEIR OWN SERIES!!

I’ve just heard of the Idea First company and so far, by watching Gameboys, and now this, I’m pretty impressed by how they roll. Still yet to watch Pearl Next Door. NICELY DONE, TEAM!!

must say this felt unfinished - not cause it was lacking - but what can one except from one episode - watching this i was sure this was just made to redeem Terrance's character, who was a major douche in the drama Gameboys, and his "sorry" or apology didn't wipe out the dent made by his character.
that's why when he and Wesley hit it off, everyone watching mirrored Pearl's disgust. so here he is being humanized, so he (his character) will be worthy either of Wesley or whoever.. but i think his interaction with Achilles - or putting him off once again, for greener unknown pastures (that ironically turned out to be Wesley..) makes u wonder is this dude really someone, i should care and root for?!?

in this one episode the only one that shined for me - the one i want more off and hope he gets his place to shine is Achilles, he was sweet, vulnerable and yet strong with a huge heart that i feel has been trampled over too many times, so i for one hope he gets a part in the 2nd season or a spin-off of his own.
