Influencers (2020) Episode 2: Unlocked

While there were things to like about Episode 2: Unlocked like the discussion of cancel culture, sex roles, bottom shaming, outing, etc. and the tribute to other Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) series, there were exaggerations in terms of script and acting that were too distracting. Romeo's character Cholo was right when he said "You're both influencers and you can't even widen your understanding." There was a lot of animosity between Ram and Migo that wasn't justified on the screenplay. Their disagreement was such a minor issue. Chollo, Leon, and even some of the supporting cast members overacted on this episode. There were too much shouting and unnecessary hand movements. Production technicals were largely satisfactory though. Cinematography was also fine with some cool camera shots. Editing was ok. While there was a "Medical Advisory" inserted, I would just like to point out that peeing on a jellyfish sting isn't an effective treatment. There are also questions about the effectiveness of using vinegar for treating jellyfish sting. To be honest, I don't know how to feel about Migo urinating on Ram's jellyfish sting, lol! Anyway, let's see what the next episode has in store for the viewers.
