so cute i shat tears

11/10 will watch again.
Is it cheesy at times? Yes.
Does it make my heart warm inside? Also yes.

Sh**ting Stars doesn't have the BEST plot of all time, but for me it's the ultimate comfort show that brought me a lot of joy during an admittedly challenging process in my life. It's so incredibly wholesome - from the chemistry, witty banter and occasional 4th wall breaking - I absolutely adored it all. I also appreciate how the characters are so emotionally mature and communicative with their partners. While the show did take some creative liberties, it is ultimately a rom-com that knows how to make hearts flutter.

I also appreciated the effort the team put into the more darker themes of the show (eg: abandonment issues, suicide, public scrutiny, workplace pressure etc.) Although it wasn't fully delved into, it was solid enough to be believable. As the show is ultimately a "rom-com", I understand the decisions made regarding these even though it can considered "shallow" from an objective point of view. It added some depth to the characters and the way they are, nor did it ruin my viewing experience.

I love how all the characters each have their distinctive personalities and how they're all so supportive all each other. It's a nice break from reality and a comfort show with lots to give.

If I have to describe it a physical sense, it's like a cup of tea on a rainy day. It's not extraordinary or groundbreaking, but its something that can warm you and take your mind off things, even if it's just for a little bit.
