Never Fair (2025)

Low production, cute/handsome actors

Sukfilm is known for their short series with few actors. While I feel some tensions between the actors, it's not the best chemistry. The series is partly steril. That's the fault of the settings. Even the bar feels lifeless. The locations besides the appartment are not choosen well and as always they can't fill the void with extras.

The story is cliché as usual. Childhood friends reunite and at least one of them is (still?) in love after 15 years! It's a bit much imho. I can't say it's bad, but it's also not good from a story telling view. It also makes the story not believable when you have no background at all. The clumsiness of the "writer" is partly cute but partly annoying. So I'm divided on this series. At least it felt not cringe or childish. You have to deceide yourself if you like this series or not, at least it felt not a waste of time.

controlling writer and his doe eyed prey

Overall: I did not enjoy the dynamic with the leads and they once again inserted a useless love triangle. Aired on Sukfilm's YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYfaogVGCvwTLtMP5RnShUW6BHVbJmk9R&si=ydgeYlQSObe6tvN4

Content Warning: non/dub con kissing turned consensual

What I Liked
- visuals
- production value was good for an indie series (though the music should be quieter when they were talking)

Room For Improvement
- how the writer was controlling (told him to come home earlier) and made the other guy feel bad for the sticky note, he apologized and said he wouldn't do it again but was again controlling (gave him a curfew)
- love triangle with a much better candidate for a boyfriend
- the naive guy voiced his inner thoughts
- the drunk kissing trope
