What I liked

I loved how true a neutral the characters were portrayed, giving a very honest sense of the fact that all humans are flawed and have varying beliefs that can very much clash even though you can be so interconnected with someone.

What I didn't like

It doesn’t openly tell you to draw any conclusions, as you don’t know what happens with the court sentencing or what happens after. I wouldn’t change a thing. I think the dance breaks add an element of surprise and you could make your own connections as to why they are there, but I think it gave the perfect shape of the show being a display of complex relationship dynamics that don’t make sense sometimes and can be as jarring and emotional as a dance break

My overall impression

Visceral, emotional, thought-provoking. A true and honest attempt in diving into the intricacies of relationship dynamics when it comes to personal beliefs, problematic behavior, and the meshing of personalities. How love and tension can be so intertwined.
