Now I'm ready to freefall

I knew nothing about the novel, didn't see the first trailer, only saw the second one and when I saw the pool scene in the trailer, I was so surprised that there would be an explicit onscreen sex scene like that. It felt like an amazing flex of sexiness, luxury, and audacity. I was definitely wanting to give this series a watch and as it started, I felt like "sexiness, luxury, and audacity" must have been the series' mission statement and I think on those terms KinnPorsche was an absolute success.

During the first half of series, I found myself liking this series and this world more and more. Then learning about the production story and all the starts and stops, I could better appreciate them for rallying and delivering this series. I don't think it's perfect by any means and the plot and pacing and which characters get focus and which didn't often left me wanting more. I feel like another few passes in the writer's room could have helped because sometimes the script/plot felt like it was getting hard carried by the actors and the brazen chemistry of Mile and Apo.

VegasPete, KimChay, TimeTay all were really under utilized in this season, honestly I was very surprised to see Porchay again around episode 3 then I was confused because it seemed like he and Kim were supposed to be the 3rd couple but Porchay and Kim had such little screen time. I think they did really make the best of their screen time and Barcode I think was my biggest acting surprise this season, sometimes the cutesy uwu genki characters are best animated and are very annoying when done in live action but I think Barcode made Porchay a real character and not a caricature and I was really impressed by his acting. I became aware of VegasPete through fans and the hype and when it finally started happening in the season, I wished it started a couple of episodes earlier so I could care and feel not rushed and always thinking "3 episodes left, 2 episodes, last episode coming up" during their scenes, similar to KimChay but they did start earlier but disappeared more. And TimeTay... I mean they were there like every 4/5 episodes and then would also disappear.

Also, it was very weird that Kim was never in a scene with Kinn until the last episode. That always struck me as odd.
But anyway, those are mild quibbles at best.

I did look forward to every episode of KinnPorsche and I think the season peaked around episodes 6/7 but the hype, the fan community, and the sexiness kept me engaged and happy as a show watcher. I am very much looking forward to the next season. I think the KinnPorsche actors have picked up the torch from MaxTul for highest heat and I am glad that ceiling is getting raised.

KinnPorsche was raunchy, sexy, funny, absurd, and just enjoyable. Not perfect but I mostly didn't care.
Also the theme songs are bangers and I love the different instrumental remixes of them.
