A great step in the right direction.

Pearl Next Door gave me anguish, happiness and sadness in the short amount of time that it aired. The acting was great, the intro always brought a smile to my face; The vlog style of it was cute and the production was just as great as it's parent drama (GameBoys). The story was a bit frustrating at times tho with Pearl being in love with someone who could devalue her sexuality because of their past trauma; I honestly was so annoyed with Kathleen's Biphobia, definitely team Alex.

I fell in love with the way Alex handled herself against Kathleen and knowing what and who she wanted from the start, so I was surprised when she revealed her red flags, didn't stop me from liking her though cause she was only showing that she's human too regardless of being amazingly understanding. Pearl's friendship with Fonzy was also another one of favorite things about the series; The side story with Fonzy and the polygamous guy had me cracking up. It's nice to see all types of lifestyles being represented in a GL, hope future GL/BL scriptwriters, novel writers take note.

The ending was satifying and I would rewatch it again. I look forward to a possible second season? To see where they take these characters next.
