Don't Say No...Until Episode 11!

Okay first off. I had no idea this was even happening. These 2 (Fiat & Leo) were my least favorite couple in TharnType season 2. So I was really hoping this series would give me more reason to like them! Especially with Fiat's character. Well, I can honestly say the series did just that! For the most part. Let's get into it.

By episode 2 I think I went; "Okay yes they are doing exactly what I wanted them to." AKA, giving Fiat a story arch/family background and not having him just be a bratty homewrecker. Were finally seeing repercussions and I started to feel for him deeply! His reasoning behind not expressing to Leo his feelings become clearer. The way he reacts to situations or people (like his stepmom) become crystal clear due to his psycho manipulative and abusive mother. Dude clearly uses sex in order to cope with his trauma and unhappiness. That was really smart to go down that path! Though of course being "promiscuous" isn't a bad thing, however using it as a coping mechanism is not good. Poor baby! We move onto the horror that is his exes. Nobody deserves to have their business out like that. Meaning the sex tape being leaked. It's also illegal due to lack of consent of distribution! First's acting really shown during these scenes. One thing though I wanted to add was this show going into Fiat getting tested for STD's. Because that's for his own safety and Leo's. As well as very important! Overall though I think episode 3 is the strongest in the series. Side note: The underwear scene had me DYING! Fiat you into some sexy underwear good for you!

Moving on to Leo. All I could think during the majority of this series was, Leo is so f-ing sweet! Why is he so sweet!? We love a consensual king! Orphanage donations, checking Fiat's mouth out after he burned himself. Bi***! His character still isn't the most rounded out, butttt he's a lot more likable in this. Though the way his character shifts dramatically at the ending is problematic. But we'll get to that. Let's move on to Fiat & Leo together. Seeing Ja and First together was very believable. Behind the scenes too, they are hilarious! Good job selling me on the drama because they are the opposite. They are so compatible together as actors. Even during the spicy scenes, the chemistry never waned (it actually skyrocketed during parts) so good job! I loved that we had a series FINALLY with a couple from episode 1. Let's see the trials and tribulations of being in a relationship, and not just how they get together. Like Fiat being more experienced sexually, whereas Leo is not experienced at all. All very real and interesting as hell to see!

Side couple time. At first I was like...really? Leon and Pob? But as it continued I was like...YES! I didn't think I'd end up liking Leon's character at all. He's the stereotypical wealthy player, but the series quickly dropped that after he starts pursuing Pob. Which was great! Also good on the series for using the terms pansexual and non-binary when discussing Leon's past relationships. We need more of that diversity! So Leon and Pob's relationship started out with a cat lol and of course the cat died. Which I knew was going to happen! Their first kiss was adorable (and bougie lol). Their first time was actually even better than Leo & Fiat's in some ways. Their kissing was on point! Snapped for real.

All of this stands. But I still want a Cir and Phugun series though! Anywaysss, so everything was pretty great with this series. Until episode 11. Booooo. We had huge hypocrisy coming from Leo's character. I wanted to strangle him for how stupid he was being all of a sudden! We had more blackmail. Which was good the first time around, but now was getting stale. What happened? Like why series!? So that was bad enough, but then....the last episode airs. I'm going to give you an accurate interpretation of my thoughts during the episode:

"Fiat be looking GOOD in this final ep. Okay this convo between Leo and Fiat is giving me toxic vibes and that's not good dude! No he cannot lock you or tie you up baby! Were not repeating this mom nonsense Fiat. Like I'm all for the kink, but this was not done well enough to project that into the actual story! It's just coming off weird and uncomfy. Way to mess up a great side couple too with a weird out of nowhere breakup. Like WTF I hate this episode. It seems like its setting up for a second season though. And we're gonna go from a sad fu*****scene to KINK. WHAT!? But its hot lmao I can't, Fiats moaning lmao and they're shaking the painting on the wall bi***! Fiats jacket has been buttoned and unbuttoned like 3 times. Okay we don't combat revenge porn with more revenge porn. Lets get that straight. Kissing on the court YES, but where's the ring!?"

And end scene. That pretty much sums it up. I was angry, slightly amused, shook and then disappointed by the end. Watch this series over TTS2 FOR SURE, but honestly stop at ep 10. It'll save you heartache!
