Absolutely adorable and heartbreaking at the same time
I was saving this series for when I had time to pay proper attention to it since so many people SWORE by Gameboys and they were absolutely right.
This was adorable on another level. One of my favorite things of this series was the fact that they could make the whole series work through a screen, considering that taking this different perspective could easily become their worst enemy and made the whole series confusing. However, it worked amazingly. You would know whose screen it was everytime, at least for me there wasn't a single confusing moment concerning that.
The main characters were absolutely ADORABLE. The dynamic they had was so very sweet, the actors did an amazing job and their chemistry was amazing (I can barely stand when actors don't feel comfortable with each other bc if they're not just A+ actors, you would definitely notice the awkwardness). ANYWAY, speaking of characters let's just put out there that Pearl = Queen, she's so funny!!! Ngl, at the beginning she was too loud for me but she kinda grew on me, i want her to be my friend omg. So, characters... One of the things I didn't enjoy that much about Gameboys was the side couple/friends of the main characters (obv not Pearl, again: Pearl = Queen). I found Terrence too annoying, immensely intense over what he shouldn't be and just, everytime he appeared I wanted to skip the scene... Same thing happened to me with Wesley, I felt that these characters had just more screentime than needed.
Another thing that I found insane was how realistic they portrayed the pandemic, considering that where I live it's been months since all restrictions were lifted I feel that the pandemic was aaagesss ago, and it was just two years ago... Everytime they showed the news, the "wear your mask" announcements on social media and all that stuff, including the struggles everyone went through in the pandemic, it hit right in the feels. I cried a couple times just seeing myself in some of the characters during the pandemic, I just love how realistic it all was.
In conclusion, Gameboys was amazing, please watch it.
