Never Let the Ridiculousness Go
The scriptwriters of Never Let Me Go are not good, but at least they are self-aware. Recognizing how ridiculous the series' plot is, they decided to embrace this ridiculousness. The result is a surprisingly funny combination of historical fantasy and the fated soulmates trope. It is as full of plot holes and convenient coincidences as Never Let Me Go, but it manages to be entertaining because neither Pond nor Phuwin, nor the other actors take themselves and each other seriously. If you enjoyed watching the series despite its many drawbacks, you will like these two episodes too. Just keep it in mind that Ben and Chopper do not make an appearance.
