Physically Unskippable Title

Watched this on a whim solely because of the title and because I saw that the whole thing was only thirty minutes long altogether.

Despite being such a short series made for some kind of drama app thing, I still really appreciated a lot about it. This show actually looks really good visually despite being a very small, probably fairly low-budget production made by a small company. The acting was pretty good, I feel like they managed to build up some decent chemistry somehow over the course of only thirty minutes. The series definitely feels very fast-paced because it is trying to tell a story that is ultimately too complex for the amount of time it has to tell it. There are a lot of things that are clearly skipped over for the sake of time which makes it feel rushed. But it does manage to tie things together in the end for the most part. I do think the acting and production carried this overall though. Also the oddly good soundtrack?

I gotta say, something about this leaves me feeling a little empty though. This could have been an EXCELLENT full-length series or even a movie. But sadly, it's not, nor do I imagine they'd ever go back to try and turn this into something bigger like that. Oh well, it is what it is.

I really can't rate this any higher than a 6/10. Not bad for what it is, but not the best thing ever.
