Review by BRETT MOORE

June 17, 2024 certified reviewer

What I liked

James and Nicole have a wonderful and natural chemistry, and the writing and ebb-and-flow of the dialogue and energy between the two characters feels as natural as the tides. Hat tip to Elizabeth Birmingham and Cameron Rose for the direction that makes this so subtle and relatable.

What I didn't like

I wouldn’t change a thing.

My overall impression

An absolute delight! I got so much more than I expected from this adaptation. The sense of dramatic irony heightens the tension, and creates an empathetic bond with the audience that takes the show beyond mere comedy or drama.
