Herma (2021) Episode 1

Given that the main topic discussed on "Herma" has already been tackled on "Metamorphosis," a well-made movie about the struggles of an intersex, it's difficult to fully appreciate this series. While this series can be lauded for its efforts at highlighting a sensitive and serious topic like intersexuality, it should also be noted that everything about this series screams school project. The scenes on Episode 1 were disjointed and hard to follow. Intersexuality wasn't explained properly. Screenplay had cheesy lines. Dialogues weren't conversational enough. Acting for the most part, felt scripted. Some of the actors didn't fit their roles well. The actress who played Algiro's Mamay (mother) was too young for her role. Audio-visuals were weak. There were distracting background noises and sound volume fluctuations. There were also dark camera shots. Editing, especially scene transitions, had issues. Overall, this was a weak start for this series but I'm hopeful this series improves on succeeding episodes.
