Chemistry and Adventure Galore

This story is one for the hall of gay fame. Max and Tul are performative masters at capturing subtleties and gestures in gay features. There isn't a single dull moment! I would say one of the more profound elements of this work, aside from the stellar Max and Tul, are the budding relationships and powerful onscreen chemistry between the supporting actors and actresses to steer and tell the overall narrative of the story.

Manner of Death was not lackluster in the suspense or action side of this story either. Max was made to fight. He definitely needs to be in a plethora of homoerotic style action films and TV shows before he closes the door on his acting life. He kicked ass! And he fashions the bad boy style so well. And Tul having serious dialogue, being a ethically competent and thoughtful Doctor was brilliant. His machine mind solving mysteries and his character, Dr. Bun, with his pure passion and headstrong approach to doing the right thing never felt overstepped or as if it would lead to utter doom. That really validated a ton of the story process for me.

I am not sure anyone who watches this can keep a dry eye, even the tender parts not meant to display any sadness but to touch on the kinship and love between some characters, notably That and Sorn and hints of intimacy between Gun and Inspector M, was just a heartwrenching, happy, tear filled mess. And I have to say, you will absolutely love it.

This story is phenomenal. More complex than almost any gay drama I have seen. And doubly more consistent. Everything flows chronologically, all the plot holes are closed (not that there even ARE plot holes, which is exquisite!), and all the mysteries eventually, with a slow at first but quickening pace with each revelatory episode, unravel and unfold into a memorable tapestry of fluid watching that you will probably enjoy for a long time.

This show is 10/10, a rare rating for me on anything. But certainly lives up to the hype. And MaxTul never fail to steal your heart and leave with it. Hope you enjoy.
