This movie doesn't know what it wants to be: wannabe queer love story turning into a twisted whodunit sprinkled with a couple of kinky scenes? There was no character development except for the unravel of Oliver's real nature. The initial villainous character was a queer person of colour (seriously?). The movie had some great actors and they were given the personality of a wet cardboard (Rosamund Pike, Jacob Elordi). The plot was all over the place and irrelevant in places, probably why they had to show how Oliver managed to do it all. Beautiful image overall and some interesting sex scenes (minus the sexual assault of Farleigh, that was absolutely unnecessary and nauseating). I genuinely wish I haven't wasted my time watching it.

Fleabag
(2016–2019)
Quirky and heartbreaking

I don't remember when I last laughed so much at a series. I was hooked from the first episode and season 2 was the perfect amount of romantic and heartbreaking.
Fleabag is all of us, so-called adults going through life blindfolded, struggling with mixed feelings and addictions and trying to find someone to tell us what to do, how to live.
The series is perfect, the only thing that could make it better is more seasons.

Modern Love

Disgustingly romantic and wholesome
30 May 2021
This series is easy to watch and it brings out a lot of feelings. The episodes are not connected, each one has a different story with one thing in common: unconventional romance. I'm not a person that easily watches romantic comedies but this one got me hooked.

Overall terrible
16 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The fact that the idea of kidnapping is being romanticised (which only goes when the guy is good looking and rich, right?) and the victim is persuaded into developing a relationship with the abuser is not even the worst thing about this movie. There are a lot of plot gaps and the acting is mostly terrible.
