The Disney BL drama I never knew I needed
OK so I didn't go into this show with high expectations and full disclosure, I nearly gave up on it after the 2nd episode but I am glad I didn't. I read in places it was like if Disney had made a BL series and I can totally see why people would see that. Some of the parts were so totally Disney (I wont reveal which but you will know them when you see them!) but then you reach the steamy scenes and Disney it is most certainly not!
Story
-------
The story was a bit of a mess to be honest but a good mess. The first few episodes were all over the place and very fluffy and a tad ridiculous but once the main plat kicked in we were left with a solid romance that built well and some strong messages about acceptance, support and forgiveness. This was not the story I was expecting but I'm glad its what were were given. My only gripe was the way Moira was portrayed and the forgiveness that was given way to easily considering what she did (again you will see what I mean when you watch).
Acting
--------
The acting was for the most part excellent. The main leads had very obvious chemistry and delivered this in spades, the steamier scenes proving this but also in just their every day interactions. The rest of the cast delivered well with Sky's family and Miss Becky being a highlight (Miss Becky being a character I didn't think I was going to like but grew on me over the course of the series).
Music
--------
The sound track was ok. I liked the theme tune and how they used a more orchestral version for a certain scene that worked very well. ITs been added to my Spotify so I must have liked it!
Rewatch Value
-------------------
The production was surprisingly well done and, apart from a few issues I noticed as I was watching, was decent for this type of drama. I'm not sure whether I would watch it again, maybe if there is a season 2 but I'm not sure how likely that is considering the issues going on there.
Overall
---------
Overall, I am very glad I stuck with this. It was a surprisingly emotional, funny and decent story in the end with a bit of a shaky start. It wont go down as one of my favourites but I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to nice light series to binge :)
