Not what we were promised
I really wanted to like this series. I was so excited and I waited so long for it to finally air. But it’s awful and now I’m sad. I’ll start by saying that I LOVE Boat and Oat. I love their energy as individuals, I love their chemistry together. I can’t help but smile any time I see them. And that makes this show even more of a disappointment. The writers and directors failed them horribly.
First of all, the plot just got lost somewhere. One entire episode was them preparing for a meeting and driving to it. That’s it, that’s all that happened. There’s something vaguely resembling a story line, but someone forgot to finish it.
The series has a few amazing actors, but they don’t have anything to work with. There is also some terrible acting. I’m not sure if this is the fault of the actors or if it’s the directing. The housekeeper is incompetent and keeps screeching. The father is one dimensional. The brothers show some promise but the directors never let it fully happen. I was looking forward to the steamy romance scenes (because I KNOW Boat and Oat can deliver). But they were cut short and made awkward. Scenes with other characters were similar. The creators relied too heavily on the pheromone display instead of letting the actors do their thing.
And so, I tried. I watched for as long as I could, just to see my favorite actors. 9 episodes is all I could take. I hope their next project provides a story that is more deserving of these talented young men. And I hope it happens soon. I hate to rate their show so poorly, but someone needs to hold the writers and directors accountable for this mess.
