A panther and a penguin walk into a bar

Guess who just binged this entire show in one day? Me! I did not think I was going to like this, solely based on my friend's description (shout out my girl Kat one time we in Thailand right now), but I actually like this a lot. It was really fun, and I do not know who came up with this, because shit was so crazy; I do not even think AI could come up with this, but I low-key enjoyed it a lot. Y'all did your big one. I would give it a 9 (8.85) out of 10, and I am going to say what I liked, what I did not like, and then an episode overview. So let's do it.

Starting off strong with the premise of the show. I think I found out around episode 3 that it was a penguin-and-panther love story because I did NOT look at the cover art or read the description. I just was like, okay, it is a penguin. I know that, but then they introduced the panther, and I'm like, oh fuck, what are we doing right now? AND I should really hate this. I really should. It is weird, low-key borderline bestiality and low-key some furry shit, but I do not hate it. I think it is really unique, and the actors as well as the writing really brought this to life, because they actually did their big one with this. Would this work in reality? No, not in a million years, but thank God it is a Thai BL and not reality. Okay, so basically the plot of the show is a panther who longed for freedom got the freedom, and then a penguin who longed for freedom and got the freedom. And basically it is a take on animal cruelty and how the way we treat animals is bad and how it is very normalized but really should not be. I also think they did their big one with this in terms of social commentary, so good job for that, too.

I saw these two handsome men in the Fourever You episode, Season 2, when they randomly got grouped in lmao. Hopefully they make a season 3 for that shit because I don't play about these two now. They are also in Be My Player two, and they are cute as fuck. And my friend's like, yo, they are also in Caged again. And I'm like, the fuck ass furry bestiality show? She's like, hell yeah. So I'm like, okay, let me just watch this shit. And it was so good. They did such a fucking good job, and they were what, like 19 in this? 18? Such a good job. They are both so handsome and such good actors, because they really brought it to life. On top of that, they also have a lot of chemistry, so shout out their chemistry one time. But yeah, I truly could not imagine this with another pair of actors, because they brought this to life in a way that I do not think anyone else could have, because of just the way they fit it. I can understand a bit of criticism with Benjamin, I think his name is, being low-key skinny as fuck, because how he a panther if he is skinny as fuck, but low-key they did their big one with this, and I fucking loved it, good for them. I hope to see them in more stuff, soon as the main pair. Let's go.

Another thing I like in regard to plot points. I liked the kissing. I feel like they were macking a lot. I was like, oh my God. Sometimes it felt a little off, but it was still really cute, and I just love to see them together. But yeah, I also liked the whole instincts thing, even though I should not have liked that. I was like, okay, this is a little bit weird. What are we doing? What is going on? But I loved it. I was like, okay, shit, I cannot hate the players; I have to hate the game. I liked the whole thing with him holding back his instincts, and they added that because what do you mean a penguin and a goddamn black panther are together? But yeah, just phenomenal job with these two.

I think the final thing that I liked was our side couple and their four-year-long situationship. They were really fun together, and I want to see them in another show together, because I feel like they really brought their characters to life. It felt really natural with them along with the other characters in the show, just very natural overall. Some parts felt a little rushed, but I think they built the world pretty well. Even though this was a slow burn, I still think they did their big one with this, so shout out to this show one time.

Regarding my criticism, lowkey nothing comes to mind, and that is kind of crazy. We know I hate slow-burn stuff, but they did fine with this, so I cannot hate on the slow burn. Yeah, I do not know. WAIT I found my critique on this show. I think that they killed the villains off too easily. The first time was fine, but the second time, I feel like we did not really get any clarity with them, and they should have literally been skinned alive or kept in a cage. Something like that to make it ironic for what they were doing. And then ALSO the thing with the North Pole. You have already been told penguins don't live there; why do we still wanna go? I'm confused? OH and Nam got completely faded out. I just realized that. If we wanted to do that, we should have done it better because that was just irritating. And that's all for my criticism.

Okay episode 1: “I like the little moment with the headphones and him, like, them sticking their tongues out at each other. That was kind of cute.” Episode 2: “I don't know what weed we were smoking when we came up with this, but I can get behind it. I actually love this a lot. They have good chem, and it's not a lot of brain power, so love them and love whatever bs plot is happening right now.” Episode 3: “I want more lore on the zookeepers but I also just want them to be happy, so I am good off that lmao.” Episode 4: “I just need y’all to fuck immediately to excuse the animal cruelty.” Episode 5: “They just kissed under the covers.” Episode 6: "The instincts part where he rolled over, so cute, literal chills from that. "Also, you see somebody possessed in the forest. Why are we walking towards them? Right." Episode 7: "Talking about some skipping school. We do not go to school anyway. We just hang around the campus and sleep. What the hell? We have not been to class in a decade. We are for real. Oh, but the alcohol is not accurate. We have never met teenagers before. Talking about skipping school. We do not go to school anyway. We just hang around the campus and sleep. What the hell? We have not been to class in a decade. We are for real. 'Oh, but the alcohol is not accurate.' We have never met teenagers before. They have to get lit all day, every day, constantly. It is a never-ending state of getting lit. Let's go." "And the catnip, he knew what he was getting himself into with that." Episode 8: "You are a literal panther chasing after the car, but no, our instincts are not intact. Bro, you are afraid of fucking gunshots and fireworks, still lock the fuck in and go chase them, bro. Panther versus two guys, panther is fucking winning. Bitch, lock in." Episode 9: "I need you all to fuck at least three times in this episode, in animal form and human form, lock it in."

I would 100 percent recommend this; this was such a fun watch, and their chemistry is great. This show is full of so much whimsy and joy, and the couple is so fun, so please watch it. Okay bye!
