xx --- So spoilers ahead --- xx
I honestly thought it was pretty entertaining and I loved Boom she was a class act till the end :') I really was shipping her with Tor but he literally became so much of a jerk I was getting pissed and there was no underdog theme with his character because the true underdogs were Bern, Boom, and Stud. And none of their endings felt right to me. I was really hoping Boom would end up with Bern, they were both so supportive and understanding and just generally kind at the core.
As for Stud, another SLS disappointment lol but at least this one I was ready for. Because I knew the spoilers ahead about the love triangle. I mean they couldn't even give him a proper loving kiss with AJ!!! Ffs.
The thing is this show has some good writing if not great, but where it failed for me was the repetitive nature of scenes. Basically the entire second half was Sam saying "nothing I'm doing is good enough for you " and Earth giving some variation of "I hate you for what you did" seriously it got tedious after a while. And tbh despite Stud being 'slutty' there were truly MAYBE two proper HOT SCENES and one of them was Stud and Doc ! And yes why was Arm's character even THERE. he's GORGEOUS , CAN ACT - so why did you not make him part of the story when there was literally no content in the second half.
Another thing that majorly pissed me off was Stud, Bern being called losers because they didn't have a job such typical capitalist propaganda it was just wrong. And Stud man another total fail like Art's arc in WTD. Bunch of racy scenes and after that confession omg I cried for him lol but just a total mess of sl like Rambo. Just literally they could have talked about why he was so impulsive, a mental health issue or even if it is just typical fuckboi behavior give it some nuance.
I didnt even mind Joss was such a text book fuckboi cause he wasn't part of the story, he was just there for Boyo to grow. And Oh and btw Lee and the girl lol I just couldn't get into them as a couple. Literally ended on a HANDSHAKE and felt forced. He was clearly in love with the Joss of chicks lol and when she turned out to be married he finally goes to Boyo. How is that love? And dont even getme started on Boyo lol the woman was an entitled bitch who called her friends sluttyy, shamed them, and even when she'd supposedly grown because she had a career I just couldn't believe she had any real feelings for Good.
As for the happy ending for Sam Earth - tbh I feel cheated. It just feels like an easy way out. And again characterization was lacking here as well, so we never quite understand why Sam is so attached to him. Maybe just staring into eyes isn't enough, and most of their script composed of the same rehashed 'i love youso much, u love you too. The only nuance there was like i said it was either in the Earth Stud relationship or Sam Stud . I know it sounds strange but that kissing scene in the bathroom bw Sam Stud was just SO GOOD!
And when Stud confessed to AJ and even stopped himself from screwing him, he goes 'I ruined the life of the person i love the most.' Like ffs. That's really something. Before till that point it felt like Stud was into Sam. That he wanted to be in Earths place but from the beginning he was trying to come to termswith the fact that he Earth is no longer available. Arm was right all along and probably he realized at some point too that Stud willalways love Earth so he doesn't get close to Stud either.
Anyway so I did enjoy it and going to watch season 2 pretty much just out of curiosity XD hopefully they'll do better
