Influencers (2020) Episode 1: Damn Space

In a lot of ways, Influencers is an improvement of the Filipino (Pinoy) girls' love (GL) series Chasing Sunsets. Chasing Sunsets and Influencers belong in the same universe. Chasing Sunsets' Farrah is the half sister of Influencers' Migo. Like Chasing Sunsets that dealt with mental illness, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), rape, etc., Influencers also had something to say about various social issues like cancel culture, sex roles, bottom shaming, outing, etc. Kudos to Camp Avenue Studios for always aiming not only to entertain but also to educate. Influencers is less preachy than Chasing Sunsets. Influencers still needs to embed social issues more naturally into the boys' love (BL) story though. The same can be said of its screenplay which also needs to be more natural. While watchable and better than their Chasing Sunsets counterparts, the actors of Influencers still need to improve their acting. Production technicals also improved on this series. By the way, this account, Pinoy BL Series, is appreciative of the series for including this account in its post-credits. Overall, Episode 1: Damn Space was a promising start for Influencers.
