Pit Babe (2023– )
8/10
Shaping up to possibly be a really great show...
2 December 2023
I've only watched the first three episodes at the time of this review, but I have to admit. This is shaping up to be a possibly really great show.

When it comes to Thai BLs, I have watched many of them, and they can be hit or miss. Like most dramas, they can become a bit formulaic and, in my experience, that's been no exception for Thai BLs, but Pit Babe has got me hooked and eagerly awaiting the next episode each week. It has that feel of what's expected and comfortable, but also gives a breath of something fresh and new.

There's a lot to be appreciated about the show in just the first three episodes, although that Thai BL angsty drama is ever-present, the storyline and execution of the premise has thus far been really well played out.

Storylines set in the omegaverse have always been only a fictional premise that I have read about, but never seen in a show. Pit Babe is actually delving into this incredible fictional universe, even though it's only just dipped its toes into it so far, it's still really fun to see this fantasy idea played out on screen.

I've found myself interested in the side characters and their arcs just as mush as that of the leads, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it all goes. Great job so far with the acting and writing, I really am enjoying it.

It's yet to be seen if the rigors of the Thai BL storyline conformity will set in, but so far, I'm liking it and looking forward to more.

Edit: now that the show is done and over, I am left wanting a bit. I will say the show was good, but not necessarily great. However, it kept me tuned in every week, so for that I will give Pit Babe my respect and love. Regardless of what it was lacking, it still kept me entertained.
