Fun and Dumb
Fish Upon the Sky is a comedic drama that is definitely not meant to be taken seriously.
For all its strengths (comedy, great actors, an OST that slaps) futs falls short on one crucial aspect of storytelling which is, well, the story itself. The main couples' relationship is sloppily told and emotionally concerning at times. The pacing of their storyline is horrendous and leaves many issues unresolved until the very end. It also feels at times as if the writers weren't quite sure what the cause of their conflicts were as explanations tended to change throughout different episodes. In terms of storytelling, futs is a hot hot mess.
So, why is it still getting a 6.5 from me? Well, it's genuinely so funny and endearing. The side pairing of Duean and Meen was handled incredibly well, especially in comparison to the many things Mork and Pi were put through. I laughed until I cried so often while watching this show. I went into it wanting something light and funny and, for the most part, that's exactly what I got. Many things didn't make sense and this show had such potential to have a phenomenal story but I cannot deny that I enjoyed myself every single episode.
If you are looking to have a lot of fun, see one of the best sibling relationships I've seen on a drama in a while, and aren't looking for a cinematic masterpiece, this show might be for you. For all its faults I don't regret any time I've spent watching it. Thank you for the laughs futs, I'm wholeheartedly looking forward to a season 2.
