Started strong, but…

The series is a continuation of My Story that also can be found on Oxin Studios YT page.

We see how Fifth and Zeke’s relationship progresses over the next year-ish and how they cope woth the different challenges that comes along the way. Personally I dont find the writting particularly innovative or creative, but rather boring and predictable. They managed to make the characters so lovable and relatable in the previous season, that its pretty surprising how they manage to completly wreck this in this season in my opinion.

The most interesting part of this series is their friends and their story arc. That actually got some fleshed out plot and quality content. The GL side couple is there, and in my mind could just as easily been cut to give more screen time and place to actually explore the main couple. The hetro couple and the older gay couple was not needed and frankly the acting by the actors playing in the hetro couple was horrid.

My main complaint about this series is this: We knew there would be obstacles that Zeke and Fifth had to overcome. However, when one write one of the character to be so unlinable that there is almost no redemption arc to be found for them, then the choice that the writer took was a cheap cop-out that soured my taste and overall enjoyment.

I will maybe on a gray and boring evening rewatch for Joel and Jason’s story line, fast forwarding over everything else, and regret my life choices by it all over again. But, it will definitivly not be for anyone else.
