I don’t think I have ever been this hooked on a show!! I started at 9:30 PM on a Thursday night when I had work at 8 AM the next morning but I literally couldn’t put my phone down. I ended up staying awake until 2:30 AM and I finished it all in one sitting. Everything about this series is amazing: from the INCREDIBLE actors, who I just found out we’re improvising many of my favorite scenes, to the soundtrack, it is without a doubt a top 10 show that I will forever be recommending to everyone I know. What makes this series stand out from the other shows that Netflix, Hulu and any other streaming service has put out is the portrayal of teenage emotions. The fact that these actors looked innocent, had the acne and were relatively young makes it more appealing to a teen based audience such as myself. I have never had a show give my butterflies for the main protagonists when the love interest touched them for the first time. I’ve never seen an actor act out my anxious ticks so accurately before. The audience is able to connect with these characters emotionally and go on a rollercoaster of pain and suffering but also joy and excitement that Wilhelm and Simon are going through and that’s so beautiful.
