Pit Babe (2023)

It was good, there were some details, but I enjoyed it.

When I first saw that it was omegaverse I was taken aback, but after seeing the chemistry and friendship of this 12 boys I decided to give it a try and I don't regret it.

I really loved the series but they rushed too many subplots, everything was a little over the place, the acting and chemistry saved that, even if it was resolve in some way, I wish they accounted those plots more detailed.

I wish we could've seen more of Kenta and Kim, Pete and Way, etc, they were left out.

I won't complain about CharlieBabe and AlanJeff, they ATE and did an amazing job making me love their relationships.

I watched this because of Ping, Nut wants this man to be his partner and the whole casts always teasing them. I thought that they will change the story of Pete and Way, but I was wrong. Hope that they will give Ping and Nut a bl series.

I really want to watch theast episode but there's so many spoilers so I don't to watch it anymore.

Acting:

Pavel: 10
Pooh: 7
Sailub: 8.5
Pon: 8.5
Nut: 10
Ping: 8.5
Michael: 9.5
Topten: 7
Garfield: 8.5
Benz: 8.5
Pop: 8.5
Lee: 7.5

Pavel is a great actor. He really did his best in this series.

I like the omegaverse theme but I'm so disappointed on what happened to Pete and Way.

Watched it for Pavel, ended up falling in love with Nut; overall entertaining watch

I will start with what I didn't liked :

1. My first complaint I'd why promote the other couples when we are going to have basically nothing of them in the series. I was soo invested to see the developement of other couples.. but not only there was barely anything, but we also didn't get the backstory of the characters. That Would have made the series really interesting.
2. The plot in the mid felt a bit boring; I was really uninterested in Babe and Charlie. I was really bored of Babe being disappointed in Charlie, them immediately making up and a love scene and the same thing repeating again and again.... Some of the love scenes between them could just had been edited out and gave room for the other aspects of the story.
3. Charlie's acting felt a bit weaker than the other cast, or maybe the other cast's acting was better so they just outshined him.
4. Sponsorships of toothpaste etc in the story , took most of the time and made me feel a bit disconnected somehow. (I know they are important, but there were just too many of them taking too much time)
5. The storytelling was also not the best( the Omegaverse concept was not properly introduced, it was hard to follow for someone as me who has no idea of that multiverse)
6. Shitty, ending!!! They had one chance to wrap the story up with a fantastic ending but damn !! They ruined it. They could have ended it up in a way that promotes the series for potential spin-off with other couples, but no!!! They really ended it.

What I liked:
1. Offcourse the acting, all the cast did a good job. The ones that stood out the most were Pavel and Nut. I just can't praise enough of how good their acting was. Specially, the the emotional moments. I was crying my heart out.
2. Good production value.
3. Engaging characters and new concept
4. The songs are also good.

Overall, i wouldn't say it's an excellent series. But definitely is an entertaining watch. I enjoyed the series.

into the omegaverse

I remember seeing the trailer for this and thinking, huh, a story about a wannabe racer becoming the sugar baby of his idol, that sounds fun. And Pit Babe isn't not that, exactly, but boy what a mislead! At least the show itself makes it clear within the first five minutes that this is also a) omegaverse and b) a new and exciting take on omegaverse.

I want to be critical of the plot, but having read the novel in a futile attempt to see if I could make more sense of the world-building in a format where censorship didn't force them to sidestep male pregnancy, I know that they did their best with what they had, expanding on all of the characters outside of Charlie and Babe and integrating them, especially the rest of the racing team, into the wider plot. Really, I think the pacing was off--there were a lot of scenes that dragged on too long, especially the racing since that ended up being largely incidental--and it was of course hampered by the fact that they couldn't explicitly say that the villain's evil plot was to get Babe pregnant. Just that they'd make him "have a baby." Have a baby how!! I kept yelling at the screen. Whatever, it's fine.

(It is very funny how the omegaverse stuff manifests in a medium where they can't, apparently, say anyone is an omega. Honestly, the omegaverse aspect of the novel is more a vehicle for the male pregnancy to human trafficking scheme, since very few other common omegaverse tropes appear. I do like the innovation of "special" alphas etc., both because it's funny and because it's something new. I am less sure how I feel about enigmas and them being able to impregnate alphas, mostly because it raises existentially horrifying physiological questions. Do alphas have vestigial uteri?? Do they DEVELOP one when they're with an enigma??)

As for the show itself, it is well-produced, except for the absolutely hideous opening credits sequence, and clearly made with a decent budget. They did about as well with the action scenes as you'd expect from an average tv budget, and even if the racing bored me personally, they did not skimp on those sequences. A lot of care clearly went into making this show! The sponcon is not subtle, but isn't that delightful sometimes? I think the funniest one was when Charlie was given a carton of soy milk to "build up his strength."

The acting is somewhat variable, but in general I think everyone did a decent job! Pavel had a lot on his shoulders as the main character and the main emotional anchor of the show, but he handled it well, and looked beautiful doing so. The script writers said we are going to make that beautiful man cry, and he committed. His chemistry with Pooh formed a great foundation for the main relationship and even when they were saying cringe stuff to each other I had to go aww. They really did match each other's freak.

The other actors also put in the work. Standouts to me were Garfield as Kenta, a character who is almost nonexistent in the novel, but was given depth and pathos both from the writing and the performance, and Supanut as Way, bravely playing someone trying to be a top even if I think Way would actually burst into tears if he had to top for real. Sailub and Pon as Alan and Jeff provided a much-needed dorky awkward relationship foil to the nonstop hornytown that Charlie and Babe.

On the whole, I don't know if I would recommend Pit Babe to just anyone. If you can take some nonsense and some cringe, and want to watch something that just has a lot going on, this might be for you. It's a popcorn show, the same way a Fast & Furious installment is a popcorn movie. Come for the pretty people and high production value, stay for the implied mpreg...? Extremely curious what they're going to do with season 2 since they've already finished up what's in the novel--and I'll be there, with my clown shoes and red nose on, ready to watch.

Dont look for logic !! Just watch with open mind !!

Man ..this has been a wild ride. I seriously thought this was well cast. Pavel as Babe literally lived the character and you could feel his inner feelings almost in every frame. I liked him as Forth in 2moons2..but here I just loveee him. The other cast members did their roles well with what screenspace given to them. I liked all the couples here..they all had chemistry and NC scenes werent cringey.

The main issue was the loophole filled plot, with halfassed execution of the script..not enough screenspace for the large cast and short running time. Either they could have gone with 10EP with longer running time or go for 15 EP..it felt rushed and incomplete towards the end. The fight sequences could have been better..editing was random at the best. For these kinda stories a tighter editing is half work done, along with some great action scenes and some solid car race sequences. Even if the script was fantasy/fanfic type it still could have been enjoyable if v know the characters in depth and get into the story more. Pavel's was the only fleshed out character along with Sailub's which sorta made sense and made them utilise their acting prowess.

Overall can watch if you wanna watch something new with a lot of great actors and specially for Pavel ??❤️

Bonkers ass setup

My favourite part of Pit Babe were the characters. I love pairings that subvert stereotypes, so I was absolutely in love with Charlie, the sunshine puppydog character being the top and Babe, the badass cool racer being a bottom, truly a highlight of the show for me. Pavel is also an excellent crier which the show certainly took advantage of.

The side characters/pairings were also charming, none came across as especially annoying or bothersome, so it was fun to watch even when the focus shifted away from the main pair.

However, the plot unraveled a bit towards the end, and there were too many characters thrown in that kept running around which made the ending really messy. There was really no real reason, OR any true benefit to Charlie faking his death at the end, and he could have let the team know he was alive and well way earlier.

I don't really like A/B/O, but I would have loved if they truly committed to it on national TV but alas, I'll be campaigning for mpreg on S2 lol

I'll definitely come back to this show to rewatch everything before the fake death, the story up until that was really enjoyable!

Not Captivating Enough For Me

First couple episodes i was really interested I've wanted a motorsport/car racing series when I first started watching BL's and to get some glances at it in like LITA and others was cool but like I wanted one that dived into the racing scene and from the pilot trailer i thought that is what we were getting. Then the first episode aired. I got some racing and didn’t look at anything else then everyone was like omg an omega verse story and i was ok I would watch and see where this goes. Fast forward through to episode 6 and everything was good. Then I completely got bored, the racing scenes and the fighting scenes were meh...and i got tired of the smechx real fast LOL. Wished they limited down the racing scenes some more so that they had more time to explain all the trafficking and the A/B/O stuff or just write it better.

CharlieBabe - I can write an essay about how these two irritated me and I would be hated for it. These two did not have enough chemistry to try and keep me watching their scenes. Pavel did a amazing job, but Pooh acting reminds me of Dunk's in how they keep that one tone and be void of all emotions. Also, they annoyed me at the fact he was supposed to take over for Babe and was terrible at it. The miscommunication was the dumbest thing because like if you’re going to have them do this don’t have Babe forgive Charlie every single time and then have him forgave him instantly. Even in the final episode like wouldn't you be pissed if the person you cared about the most lied and faked their death where you had a grave and everything for him to see just show up as you were getting your ass kicked. That along with the mama papa thing that annoyed me.

AlanJeff – When Charlie and Babe weren't captivating enough these two were next on the chopping block, was confused the entire time because how did they go from oh don’t touch and talk to me to Alan showing up outside a random coffee shop with cards to apologize like they were in a Love Actually scene. I honestly can’t tell you anything that happened with these two. Nice scene in the final episode can’t remember anything else.

PeteWay - What could have been would but would never be. Arguably would have been the most powerful couple in the show but nah because Way redemption was death (would have been more impactful if all the spoilers didn’t exist). Like a person who can read minds and one who can controlled them POWERFUL duo. Also, Way was probably the most well written character, technically all the villains were well written, probably the only good thing the writers did.

NorthSonic - Listen they came and did their thing and I’m not mad at all. Wished they had more scenes, and they should have been together from the beginning. Also would not call them to rescue me at all.

KentaKim - A figment of all our imaginations. Also found it hilarious that Kim is the only professional driver in any of these teams as this guy came from Korea and had Charles Leclerc (Monegasque F1 driver) as his teammate which i found funny as hell. I love Charles but they could have gone for Alex Albon (Thai F1 driver). Also, Kim was locked up and hidden better than Jeff was, and this man had no special abilities at all.

WinnerDean -They would have been the most amazing villain teammates ever. All Winner wanted was to beat Babe, yet he had to settle for Charlie and Dean just wanted to drive for the team and he got shafted but guess who got to drive Charlie (LOL) my man just wanted to experience life as the lead driver till Babe recovered. He cut the brake line for the car, yet it flipped...be serious you can’t convince me that Jeff and Charlie didn't know that it was cut because something else would have had to happen for the car to flip ON GRASS. Yes, he touched the curb but still they have had to do something. Justice for Dean

You either like it or you don’t.

I honestly didn’t think I’d be finishing this series anytime soon, but here we are. As someone who was new to Thai bl when I started watching this, I had very mixed opinions. I wasn’t very intrigued by the plot at the time and I had so many other bls on my watchlist that I just completely stopped watching this all together after about 4-5 episodes.
I think it really depends on the person. The plot is a bit rough at first, but when I did eventually return to this series I became really invested into it. I did NOT expect to like this one, let alone binge the rest of the entire show within a couple of days. I must admit that I did not like this show at first cause I felt there wasn’t enough plot, but then the series picks up about midway through and gets good.
Does this have plot holes? Yes absolutely. But it’s super entertaining and keeps you on the edge of your seat nearer the end.
I won’t give anything away, but I actually cried like twice while watching this. No normal drama can make me cry! I can’t even remember the last time one did! I must give it to the amazing actors who did such a good job with portraying their characters and emotions. Like, this series isn’t even that sad, but the actors were just so emotional that I started getting emotional too lmao-

If you’re thinking about watching this I would go for it, but be warned because the first few episodes may be misleading since the series does get much more intense and interesting as it goes on. I know there are a lot of negative reviews on here, but I actually did really enjoy this in the end, despite the rocky start :)

"Pit Babe the Series": A Captivating Journey Through Love and Betrayal, Led by a Brilliant Cast

Story :
"Pit Babe the Series," is a whirlwind of emotions, complex characters, and tangled relationships that keeps me on the edge of my seats.

Acting/Cast :
Starting with the character of Babe, portrayed brilliantly by Pavel, this series takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of his life. Pavel's portrayal is nuanced, capturing Babe's savage yet charismatic persona perfectly. Despite his cold demeanor, Babe's depth and vulnerability are slowly unraveled, making him an irresistibly compelling character. Particularly noteworthy are the scenes where Babe is brought to tears, showcasing Pavel's exceptional acting skills. These moments are deeply moving, demonstrating a profound level of emotional depth that adds layers to Babe's character. Pavel truly excels in these instances, pulling the audience into Babe's world and making his struggles and pain palpably felt.

Charlie, played by Pooh, is the epitome of cuteness, combining innocence with a mysterious edge that leaves you questioning his motives. His interactions, particularly when wronged, tug at the heartstrings, showcasing Pooh's ability to balance charm and complexity with ease. The chemistry between Charlie and Babe is electric, their contrasting personalities clashing and melding in a dance of emotions that is both adorable and intense. Moreover, the fighting and naughty scenes between them are portrayed with a remarkable level of authenticity and intensity. These moments are well acted, adding a dynamic and exciting edge to their relationship. Pooh and Pavel skillfully navigate these scenes, maintaining a perfect balance between aggression and affection, which serves to deepen the complexity and appeal of their characters' connection.

The subplot involving the duo of Sailub and Pon as Alan and Jeff adds another layer of depth to the series. Their relationship, filled with subtle gestures and unspoken feelings, is beautifully portrayed, capturing the essence of their connection. The dynamic between these characters adds a rich layer of intrigue and emotion to the series, making every scene they share a highlight. The support leads, North and Sonic, add a delightful touch to the series, their friendship providing moments of levity and depth.

Overall :
However, the series is not without its flaws. The storyline involving Way, Pete, and the unresolved themes of human trafficking and the mysterious Alpha concept leaves the audience craving more clarity. The conclusion of the series feels somewhat rushed and unfinished, with certain plotlines dangling and character arcs left incomplete. The climax, in particular, seems jumbled and confusing, detracting from the overall impact of the narrative. The problem for me is that when a series gets off to a good start, I get greedy and my expectations grow, expecting a complete and satisfying conclusion. Alas, I didn't have that with this series. The initial promise and the build-up raised my hopes for a well-rounded finale, but the end left me wanting, highlighting the challenge of maintaining momentum and fulfilling my heightened expectations.

It's impossible not to commend the exceptional casting. This ensemble of young actors is not just visually stunning but also immensely talented, each bringing their unique flair to their roles. From the leads to the supporting cast, everyone involved has contributed to the series' magnetic allure. Their performances go beyond mere portrayal, embodying their characters with such conviction and depth that it elevates the entire viewing experience. This fantastic group of actors has indeed nailed their roles, making "Pit Babe the Series" a standout in the BL genre. Their collective presence on screen is a testament to their hard work and dedication, and it's clear that they share a chemistry that transcends their performances, hinting at a promising future for each of them in the industry.

In light of the remarkable talent displayed by the cast of "Pit Babe the Series," it's only fitting to extend heartfelt wishes for their future endeavors. The dedication, skill, and sheer presence these young actors have brought to the screen speak volumes of their potential for even greater achievements in their careers. As they move forward, may they find themselves embarking on a multitude of projects that challenge, inspire, and further showcase their versatile talents. The industry is indeed brighter with their contributions, and it's with eager anticipation that I look forward to witnessing the continued evolution of their craft. Good luck to the entire cast of "Pit Babe the Series" – here's to many more projects that allow them to shine even brighter.
