Music 7.0
Rewatch Value 2.0

an indie production that missed the mark

Overall: too much of the story took place off screen. I watched all episodes together in a now deleted video, here is the official playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlpSUv8-x1mCRDCXRB4T7gHLWJxelv2Gy&si=JZNSs5NuiPy2hhbN
Note: around 15 minutes of ep 1? there is a very intense strobe lighting/effect

Content Warnings: manipulation, violence, held against will, stalking

What I Liked
- the premise
- beginning seemed spicy but that all vanished which is extra strange considering the setting

Room For Improvement
- we don't see relationships develop, just suddenly they are in a relationship
- no characterization other than their names and they wanted to make money
- rough subtitles hindered my understanding of what was happening (note: 'brother' doesn't mean biological brother, it means friend, I think the only people related were the woman, her brother/cousin? the club owner and someone's mom or aunt)
- that open ending/cliffhanger was bad when a 2nd season isn't guaranteed
