This show is hated for absolutely no reason
So, The Hidden Character. What a show.
The hate it received in here and on social media was too much and very unfair, so I decided to offer my own opinion about it in the form of a brief review.
From the get go, let me just say this: I like BOC. I like what they're doing for the industry, I like their ideas and ways of expressing them and I like their aesthetic when it comes to their productions. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us in the future.
If you come into this show determined to hate it, because you hate Pond or BOC or whatever, then that's what will end up happening. If, however, you keep an open mind, you'll really enjoy yourself.
First things first; THC is a reality show. This means that it does indeed have some annoying reality show things in it (for example making the contestants call their moms to make them say "I love you", thus making them all emotional for obvious reasons) but during the majority of it, you spend time getting to know these guys, who they are, their past mistakes, their personalities and how they'll connect with BOC and the rest of the seniors, so it's worth it.
The games they get to play in the beginning are fun, if not a bit convoluted, and as the episodes pass, you realize that every person is distinct from one another. I started this show not knowing any of them and ended it with having a fully formed image about all of them. They were delightful and fun to watch and their chemistry was natural and refreshing. The episodes in which the KP guys were also a part of were very enjoyable too. They bounce off of each other well and I hope we'll get to see them all in a show soon.
The decision for the show to start with those games and then make them reenact scenes from KinnPorsche was brilliant in my opinion, because it gave us the time to get to know these actors as people, before they showed them as performers. It humanizes them and gives us the chance to connect with them and it makes them memorable.
All in all, if you're curious about watching something a bit unconventional and fun, I would suggest THC. I had a blast watching it and I'm going to miss it. If not, do the cool thing and skip it, instead of trash talk about it or hate watch it. You'll save yourself some precious time and you'll spare us of your whining.
