This series is terrible. An apt one for 2020 because everything that could go wrong goes wrong. And then it sets itself on fire.

I’d like to say that the script is groan-inducingly written, but that would presume that a script was written in the first place. Sometimes it seems like the actors were simply told how the plot should end and were ultimately given the responsibility for finding their own way to get there. It just all adds up to a big, amorphous ball of confusion where there is uncertainty with everything from character motivation to where Ace parks his cars (We’ve seen where he lives and can safely conclude that a carpark isn’t annexed to his home). This series begs for subtlety in all aspects, even in product placement.

The only point of redemption is the obvious and organic chemistry of the leads, including their predilection for double entendres. So you do end up cheering for them somewhat, and forgiving their bad acting in the same way you overlook the bad acting in porn.
