intriguing premise with underwhelming writing
Overall: wish Boat and Oat had a better script/editing.12 episodes about 45 minutes each. Airing on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/knot-episode-1-c3hbjhxtcg?lang=en_us?lang=en_us
Content Warnings: non con touching/attempted assault, fight scenes, murder off screen, non con kissing turned consensual
What I Liked
- chemistry
- styling (sometimes it missed the mark though)
- unique premise
- a character has fighting skills and is not just a damsel in distress
Room For Improvement
- world building dump and character info dumps (text on the screen)
- the end of episode 1 had nonsense/too coincidental (characters happened to be at the same place at the same time in what appears to be a large city), also how rare/secret is the secondary gender that a character has no knowledge of it (and then later in episode 3 a woman made it seem that it was common knowledge)???
- comedy moments did not work (comedy sound effects did not help)
- nervous about the pacing and number of characters
- odd camera angles/close ups
