4 epidodes too short

I don't know why I keep falling into the 8 episode trap. Most of them would have been much better had they chosen 12 episodes instead. These series usually start off strong and then fizzle after episode 5 or 6. The last episodes are rushed and dissapointing because we are missing so much explanation and filler that makes the story flow through until the end.

After they decide to date the story just jumps pretty much to date 100. They are supposedly madly in love enough to get couples rings but we just don't feel it because there has been NO feeling of any romance. They are the same two sitting on the swings just talking like the best friends they have always been.

Those extra episodes we are cheated out of would have made the last episode so much better. We would all have been feeling the anxiety, the disappointment, and the joy together. Instead it was more like "Well OK. Thats a thing that happened."

Will I continue to watch 8 epidode series? Probably because every once in a while a gem does come along. Sadly though this was not one of them.
