A multi-genre series with hints of progressive content
The story alludes to the rise of investors in local beaches which poses challenges to the local residents. Also, it alludes to the threat of extrajudicial killings. I noticed a juxtaposition between the provincial life and the metropolitan life through some characters and through which, some stereotypes are introduced. There is also a juxtaposition between conservative and liberal values through some characters. This situation that brought them together has resolved a lot of repressed issues and the story is well-resolved.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

Fun, quick watch
I just needed something light and short to watch as I was working and came across this series. There really isn't much for me to say about this series, as again, it is relatively short and the story is pretty straight forward, so I won't be writing an as in-dept review like I usually do. With all that being said, I ended up really liking this series. It was fun and interesting. Also a huge fan of the Nameless Kids so I love the opening theme music.-------------------------------------------
● REVIEW
-------------------------------------------
LIKES:
-- There are a couple of relationships going on and one of them is between two male friends, so that was nice to see some LGBTQ content in here. What I really liked thought was some of the dialogue surrounding it. Very progressive. There's actually a quite a few progressive and/or heartwarming conversations throughout.
-- I enjoyed the friend group. They all looked out for one another. Even when they fight, it's out of concern and they are quick to apologize and make up.
-- I love the vibe. I don't really know how to explain this one well, but I just enjoyed the overall coastal setting and the days of youth before going off into the bigger world. Maybe it's the inner southern Cali surfer boy in me, but it hits a certain feel/vibe. The trouble they get into, obviously, is dramatic, but the idea of getting into hijinks with your buds as kids is something relatable.
-- With the given time, they did a good job of setting up the relationships and dynamics between the characters.
DISLIKES:
-- Nothing really comes to mind that I disliked. The worst I can say is that the humor/comedy element was just ok for me.

● NOTE
-------------------------------------------
I'll always conclude my review by saying that ratings and reviews is not really a indicator of whether you may enjoy something. We all have different criteria and standards. Don't let a bad rating, review, or comment discourage you from watching something. My advice will always be to give something a chance if the premise interests you, and only use the ratings/reviews to determine priority if you have a list, or if you're deciding if you want to continue it due to time limitations.
