I think it was good. Not great, but good.
It's not so much about romance or sex. But modern issues.
Have you watched it?
I thought it raised some interesting questions about relationships today.
One that stuck out was episode 5. A "hot" girl picks up an average guy in a coffee shop whose apparently been stood up by his latest social media first date.
The guy is annoyingly insecure. He talks too much, over analyzing everything, continual self-deprecating comments, and he wears his feelings on his sleeve.
Anyway, eventually she confesses she is a flirt and manipulator. She says she usually sabotages her relationships by constantly flirting. When her boyfriends complain, she denies it, and accuses them of being insecure and paranoid, inevitably leading to a breakup.
It came across as her saying flirting was wrong. I disagree. I think flirting is healthy. The dishonesty was the problem.
She should have just responded to her boyfriend's complaints by saying, "Yep, I'm a big flirt. But I have never cheated on you. And I never will."
That would have been the end of it. If her boyfriends still couldn't handle her style, that would point to them being insecure and controlling. But there is no reason for her to stop flirting. But just be honest.
What do you think?
