venus in my eye
This probably should have stayed as a 20-minute long "pilot" on youtube. They had a general idea and they then tried to stretch the concept into...ten episodes? 12? That, and the episodes are an hour long each, so this is a lot to slog through. The acting is pretty flat, it was jarring to see his brother and his boyfriend slappin' hams in the first episode, and a lot of the 'comedy' just isn't funny. I don't understand, really, what the crux of their whole relationship is, Venus said he liked Sky, Sky said he wanted to stay friends. Why, all of a sudden, is Sky super obsessed with Venus? Why did it take them almost halfway through the series to even come to a mutual understanding? Venus is REALLY hard on Sky, which is weird because one would assume that Sky was just being honest about wanting to remain friends. It doesn't even seem like he was bread-crumbing Venus, so I don't know if that's a plot point that will come up later, but that would require an actual plot. So far, much of the plot of this show is hanging out in the 7-11 and going out to eat (Sky has a weird obsession with taking Venus out to eat). I don't know, it's really flat, really boring, there isn't a lot of chemistry and it just seems like a vehicle to get these dudes half-naked and rolling around in bed. I guess that's fine, but at least TRY to make it interesting.
