Pit Babe: Uncut (2023)

it was a fun ride

Overall: I enjoyed this series, though I watched most scenes at a faster speed. 13 episodes about 45 minutes each. Aired on iQIYI uncut & YouTube cut which reduced NSFW scenes. Note: this was based on an omegaverse novel which I read but reviewed the series on its own.

Content Warnings: murders, sexual assault, blood, kidnapping, parental abuse, punch/slap, beaten up, stalking, manipulation, stalking, non con recording/sharing, violence, child trafficking

What I Liked
- supportive friends
- sweet moments
- Jeff & Alan
- excellent truth about how family isn't always the best
- pretty good NSFW scenes
- visuals

Room For Improvement
- quite a few characters were introduced at once and it took awhile to figure out who was who, there ended up being too many characters and not enough time to fully develop the relationships
- I realized they wanted mystery but it made it difficult to really support the Charlie/Babe relationship and the fact that they changed that plan from Jeff's idea to Charlie's was a mistake
- total nonsense/huge plot holes, many characters shared 1 brain cell
- cliche ghosting trope, Babe also shoved Charlie a bit too much/frequently
- the NSFW needed to be a longer (even in the uncut version) and were choppy at times
- cartoonish villains (and stupid)
- I wish they had either leaned into the omegaverse and explained it more or just omitted it entirely
- not sure how I feel about a certain character's redemption arc

AEAWOW, this BL series was an absolute trip!

Seriously, I can’t recall ever watching anything quite like it- even beyond the Boyslove universe.
It all kicked off with a sports racing star and a groupie fanboy sexy story. The vibe was all about that, you know? But then, out of nowhere, it took a wild spin into… (You need to watch it yourselves, really—NO spoilers). And guess what? I managed to dodge all spoilers, so I could savor every twist and turn to the fullest.

What did I like about it?
-This BL was so incredibly sexy and Engaging!
-I adored Pit’s character, and honestly, all the actors nailed it—perfect job, in my humble opinion.
-Tony’s Charm: That freakin’ (and devilishly handsome) guy named Tony.
-The intriguing originality of the BL and its unexpected plot twists (though some were quite predictable )

Now, let’s dive into some points for improvement:
Omegaverse Explanation: Yeah, it would’ve been nice if they’d thrown us a bone on the whole omegaverse thing.
Where Are the Ladies? I’m scratching my head here. Aren’t there any girls in this omegaverse universe? Seriously, this series won’t even pass the Bechdel test. It’s like all the girls vanished into thin air.
Tears, Tears Everywhere: I get it—emotions run high. But maybe—just maybe—a tad less crying would’ve been easier on us.
❤️ life’s too short for boring series! Keep up the good work!
