I won’t torment myself, I’m done with this after four episodes, I really can’t be bothered with it. The two protagonists are just insufferable. It’s well made, with a great soundtrack. (2020.11.11)

The choice of Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal for the main roles was probably the best thing the creators of this series could do. I have no complaints about the acting side here. However, it is worse with the actual theme, which quite precisely shows the relationship of two millennials of today and confirms to me the idea that I understand young people less and less. It's somehow too oversensitive for me, almost extremely so. Fortunately, the soundtrack really entertained me and made me finish the series. (2023.07.08)

The formative years of my generation perfectly captured with all the benefits as well as the problems brought about by the digitalization of life. The inability to fit in, communicate and express yourself clearly, problematic relationships, and pretense. All that is amplified by the fact that the characters are rather introverted, which is why the story makes even more sense to me. The soundtrack is good and the actors, especially the two protagonists, are absolutely perfect in their roles. But there is a hitch. The story is often frustrating, and the characters often behave irrationally or simply cannot communicate clearly, which can make the viewer just as frustrated. It was probably intentional, but the result is that a lot of people probably won’t finish watching the series, which is a shame. The year you were born will probably make a huge difference.
