After the last episode was sincerely waiting for a significant improvement over the rest of the series, but unfortunately this did not happen.
The series continues to try to create "myths" for the series, but these are visibly forced.
In this episode the idea of bracelets does not work at all.
First because the idea was introduced in haste without any sentimental value and second, and by far the most important, the relationship between Sophie and Jesse is not credible.
Now let's talk about characters.
Charlie and Ellen are by far the best characters, because they are the only ones who have faced real problems and managed to solve them, despite everything being very fast.
Valentina continues to be an insufferable character, keeping as her only characteristic being a woman obsessed with making jokes about sex, drugs and alcohol while being a terrible friend and girlfriend.
Sophie is practically non-existent in this episode, so there's not much to talk about.
The big problem with this series is the way they create and solve problems in less than 5 minutes. For example, Jesse and Sid decide to close themselves at home to be able to do productive work, but in less than 1 min they both stop what they are doing to go see tik toks...
After 3 scenes they reveal to each other that in reality neither of them wanted to do the productive work...
But that was already clear, in fact they close themselves at home for the same reason.
It would be much better to have one of them "sabotage" the other's work, and then have both of them talk about the reason for that same sabotage...
But even worse is these two problems that Jesse and Sid reveal, it's resolved in the scene immediately following.
In doing so, writers prevent characters from growing and developing.
By the way, stop obsessing about making sex jokes... they're not funny and don't fit the way you want to tell the story.
In short, having 6 characters and trying to tell a story like that is practically impossible.
If any of the writers have anything to do with it, it's okay for some episodes to focus on just one character and ignore the rest. I want to like this series, but this is almost impossible.
Jesse and Sid continue to look like strangers who happen to live together when they are supposed to be best friends.
