anyone else feeling sort of mixed-feelings about kinnporsche?

putting this under the cut in case you don’t want to see less-than-glowing reviews

i really thought porsche would be more capable. i get that the storyline is going for this fish out of water thing and he’s primed to end up being the only one who is there for kinn, but the initial episode set him up as some sort of badass and then the writers decided to give him sort of mary-sue ‘i’m such a clutz’ tendencies that they seem to continue milking in the next episodes. the reason why this bothers me was because i was sort of looking forward to a more ‘we’re equals as rivals’ sort of dynamic - not Porsche gets kidnapped and beaten up and Kinn has to swoop in and save him kinda thing.

i’m actually kinda…disappointed? ??? ? at how quickly they did the sex? i know i’m probably in the minority, and i know the series isn’t drained of all the tension now, but it just seemed like such an odd place to put it and…well, i won’t talk about the optics of it, y’all already know

i’m not a huge SCREAMER about how media shouldn’t show problematic stuff but date rape drugs? reaaalllly?

vegas is a creep - i’m all for you being allowed to dead-dove-don’t-enter but ICK. he’s not even a fun kinda creep (please don’t throw stones at me, i’m not the type to tell you how to enjoy media or what you ship, this is just a personal feeling)

so far the ‘storyline’ has been kinda…slow? they’re four episodes in and i’m still not super sure where they’re going. i don’t know if this is REALLY a pacing issue or if the series is struggling with the same stuff thai bl’s seem to struggle with in general….pacing and where to put plot.
