I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable this was, considering the experimental filming style and difficult themes it took a while for me to actually give this series a watch. However, once I did, I didn't regret it at all, the characters felt very real, dealing with current real life problems, and as a result I couldn't help feeling attached to them and also be rooting for the main couple to end up together!

This series is filmed through social media interactions, so there is a lot of calls and social media posts updating on the characters interactions. There are a couple of situations where the characters meet in real life but these parts are expressed with either video footage taken by the characters themselves or 'drone like' recordings so I'd say it's a very interesting style, definitely something I haven't come across before.

The story follows the main characters as they are in a lockdown, because of COVID-19. and highlights many issues that hit close to home for a lot of us I'm sure such as loss, social distancing, isolation etc. Because of this realism I thought that it would be difficult for the plot to not become messy but the story was very cohesive and interesting. The actors did a great job at expressing the characters emotions, considering the difficult themes, I'd say the acting was really good overall. However, there is a lot of crying in this series, not necessarily a negative, it's just INTENSE, but I think this is understandable considering everything they are going through. The only other criticism I have really is that there is a massive overuse of the word "baby". As cute as the main couple are, I really got tired of them calling each other this by around the 20th time.

The side characters are also nice, and are good aids to highlight how difficult being in a long distance relationship can be when other people get to involved. I really liked Pearl, her voice is something you've got to get used to, as she's loud and very enthusiastic about the main couples relationship, but she's very supportive and brought a bit of fun to the otherwise depressing themes. The other characters, Terrence and Wes, I didn't care much for, but they ended up being 'villains' that I felt a little sorry for and were necessary for the story to progress.

I'll definitely be checking out the other releases that involve these characters, I'm a little invested in all of them now and can't wait to see what happens to Cairo and Gav!
