Fede

The show promises to be deep and profound, but it's actually shallow and feels unfinished. It hints at many topics without actually developing a plot.
The following are the critical points:

- It could have been fewer episodes;

- It was wrongly advertised as a love story or bromance, but the relationship was shallow and not developed;

- They tried to portray different tropes, leaving them all unfinished;

- Arata's storyline was left unfinished, in spite of being best friends, Ryu easily turns the page, just like quitting hockey, being a nurse or when Yohan left;

- It's supposed to be about Yohan and Ryu, but by the end it's all about Sumiko and Kanau;

- No character development. Ryu never shows any emotion or passion, apathetic;

- They wanted to portray a queer family outside labels, but then Ryu marries Sumiko "just for the sake of the child";

- The ending felt rushed in telling Yohan story and wrapping up their relationship from Yohan point of view. The timing of their relationship is off, after living together for years, it's unrealistic to only confess after years of not seeing each other and never before.
