Started with a bang, ended with a fizzle
Expanded review title: Started with a bang, ended with a bang that fizzled out so fast that maybe I imagined that gunshot?
When I started Wednesday Club, I was telling my friends that it was like P.S. I Hate You and Not Me had a love child. The elements of PSIHY with the toxic messy friend group and the beginning of the show starting with a death (or threat of a death). The elements of Not Me with political intrigue and borderline gang activity. It was what Only Friends was supposed to be! And for most of the show, that's what Wednesday Club delivered! But once again, I fell victim to the fast paced = good story myth. It was a good story, just kinda fell flat at the end.
What I liked
- May and Peem's friendship, genuinely so refreshing and their plotline with Mink/Karn had me rooting for MayPeem every step of the way
- Kun's storyline, heartbreaking really, he was such a complexly written character and the buildup to him holding the gun in the end had great payoff
What I disliked
- Kong/Palli/Tam love triangle, we wasted soooo much time on Kong and Palli liking Tam when it was pretty much resolved immediately AND it didn't even get called back to later on in the series/in the finale. Like Palli and Kong moved on and Tam was pretty much relegated to support character
- Ranking of the characters in the credits, this is me being petty but no way in HELL should Piploy be the last in the credits, May had the most character development of the entire ensemble
- The finale, specifically part 4, I just hate endings where two characters basically have a rundown conversation of everyone's endings, BORING!
- Nani's acting.......my dude.......where are the acting workshops???
