... when this production works at all it's because of the actors... they're an odd-lot but combine to make an interesting 1st series... of course the two leads do most of all the heavy lifting, and for the most part they both do commendable work... it's not 'Normal-People' quality, yet an overall IMDb reviewer rating of six-something is about right
... the on-off-relationship comparison is an obvious one... it is in the writing where the main differences lay... Normal People is a much quieter-more-subtle work... here there's a lot more flash, but less substance... it's enjoyable viewing for a time, but can get tiresome as reviewers have pointed out... does there have to be a season two.. not as many would be rooting for one as if were NP.
