Heartfelt but Needed a Bigger Budget

I think the writing for this is sweet. The dialogue is believable and personal. The ending wasn't what I expected, but I also liked it more than what I was expecting. I liked the message of coming to terms with oneself and growth.

But the delivery of those lines? Sheesh! The acting was not good. Sometimes the actors seemed to be performing as if the other person was in front of them. It didn't feel natural at all, especially since the characters are supposed to be on the phone the whole time.

The production quality is pretty low. I understand this was filmed during Covid, but they must have had almost nothing for the budget. The camera crew are obviously untrained, and the camera quality is pretty bad as well. Sometimes the characters aren't fully in focus.

If you're looking for a story about a bisexual character, and enjoy tales of personal growth, I say watch it anyway. These aren't very common stories in television, so there aren't a lot of options right now. But, don't go in with high expectations. I started watching it at 2x speed by the third episode.

Did I enjoy it? Meh. I liked most of the writing, and I enjoyed the ending.
