Great Story; Lousy Connection
I was thunderstruck by the theme of this series. It is one story in an anthology labeled Club Friday. Its content is one I have never seen before and certainly involves a very controversial topic. If they had been more adult about its fruition and handled it like a ruminative production, this would and could have been up there as the Best BL for 2024. However, in my opinion, they lacked the courage to push the envelope here to make it more consequential. While the story is of great significance, I just wish it would have gone deeper, uglier, rawer, darker, and more profoundly emotional – as real life would have been. Nonetheless, I applaud this series for telling and bringing to the forefront a unique story. Kudos for a subject matter rarely if ever posited. The stepdad obviously did not want to be in this series. Would not kiss.
