Maybe I'll come back to the review after this ends idk I'm not rlly a fan

I think the series started off strong, the first episodes were well done but as it went on and the storylines kept getting dragged on for no reason (HillTer I'm looking at you) it slowly started descending until crashing. Yea the last 4 episodes could be good but even then I wouldn't bring myself to rate this above a 7-7.5 and that's mainly for a few reasons

Easter pisses me off and makes me wanna turn this off, Hill is fine I like when he's on screen (whenever his romance with Ter isn't getting strectched) but with Ter I can hardly find any redeeming qualities, I heard he's the same the novel but I still don't like him. Particularly with his weird shipping tendencies, like girl your best friend is stressed out of his mind by the amount he owes to Johan, how's he gonna pay it off and also North has to deal with his own and Jo's feelings, what a good friend would do is support him not SHIP him the debtor!? In what world is that a reasonable reaction. Love you Earth but Easter annoys me to no end

But even if the whole debt didn't exist it would still be borderline creepy shipping him with Jo when North hasn't given any indications or signs that he likes Johan. Yea, we're shown that North indeed has some sort of feelings towards Johan but like, Ter doesn't know that yet he continues to ship them to the point where its genuinely uncomfortable to watch, I just feel like fast forwarding anytime Ter opens his mouth bcs I actually don't care about what he has to say. Just take the antidelulu pills and take about ANYTHING ELSE. I like Hill tho he doesn't annoy me

What does annoy me is how Hill and Ter's story was dragged on for more than needed, wdym it took them 12 whole episodes to become bfs when they knew they liked eachother from the beginning, this is no longer slowburn this is just torture to watch as they make ZERO progress 😭They could've very easily wrapped it up by ep 5 and gotten out of the way to leave space for the other couples instead of making part 1 and 2. THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THEM TO HOG SO MUCH SCREENTIME

Now for JohanNorth, I really liked Jo at first, but recently he's been weirding me out with his borderline creepy behavior, not bcs of the debt (that's justified as North kinda trashed his house) but the way he's pursuing North is just not rlly nice to watch. Buying all the places North works at? excuse um wtf that's not cute that's kinda stalker-ish behavior. Idk I feel like Johan's approaches could've been written better like just give advice to North as to why he shouldn't work there instead of BUYING THE DAMN PLACE, he was also doing an awful job at showing his feelings but that's not rlly a problem. I still have some faith he won't be an overly possessive bf bcs I really want to enjoy their story

Anways that's the end of my rant, idk if any of this made sense but thanks for coming to my ted talk

It was like watching a car crash but I still loved it idc

Where do I start with this disaster? 😭

Let's just say, objectively speaking, ITS NOT GOOD, but I love it way more than I would like to admit, its PEAK trash TV and I was SAT every week loving this mess and getting frustrated with both Pat and Elyes.
Maybe its bcs I grew up on trashy melodramatic soap operas but I WAS LIVING for this

Is it bad? Yes
Is the acting good? Not really
Will you want to push Elyes down a flight of stairs? Yes
Was half of the love drama necessary? No lmao
Do I love this? YES
Do I want more of these two? YES
Would I rewatch this disaster? YES

Conclusion: This is Unforgotten Night 2.0, so bad its somehow good, camp at its finest and I'm not 100% sure whether I mean it as an insult or compliment
