A Good First Project

The writing is a bit meandering, introducing a whole new character without any preparation near the end of the series and never really answering any questions - I don't need everything to be explained, but it wasn't clear at all what happened between Mark & David, whether David even knew he was talking to Mark, or whether or not David was serious or playing along.

The acting was fine, not spectacular, but Marky is good at playing cute and sexy (or maybe he's just plain cute and sexy) and was a standout for me. The role didn't really stretch him as an actor, so it's hard to tell how good he is - plenty good for this role, though.

The prodcution values were just too low - there are basics of sound, lighting, and continuity that are flubbed. With only one actor on screen at any time, it should be easy to retake and edit to avoid some of the mistakes. There does seem to be basic artistry in the cinamatograhy, so with improvement in technical execution there seems to be some potential for this production crew.

Anyway, while this isn't going to make your list of favorite BLs, it's not a waste of time, and the characters continue on in Hook Up and Where We Were, so maybe some of the holes in this story will be filled.
