At face value, you may consider this yet another stereotypical high school romance flick but I was caught off guard by how very close to reality and far away from a fairytale it was. It had all the emotional roller coaster and the weight of actions and consequences I didn't expect. It felt a lot like realistically taping a romantic affair between any two individuals in high school.

I also want to point out how amazing the representation of the parents was, especially the family dynamics of Dawn (Karen Pitman) and Eric (Wood Harrison), how they as successful parent actually set thier kid up for success by guarding, nurturing and protecting him but still give him grace to find himself, make mistakes and do better. This is something that we don't often see in black storytelling. This is in no way disregarding the struggles of a single mother Shelly played by Xosha Roquemore raising a teenager with a community, trying to make ends meet while protecting her at the same time.

Also shout out to the judicious use of black music to literally interpret ever scene.

Overall it was a very good watch and I absolutely recommend.

Classic tale of "I have money so I can make my own series and cast myself as the star since I am paying for it".

Who start a series with spoilers???

I am not going to lie, this story had a lot of great potentials owing to the fact that it was focus on social media tech as it emerges in our recent world which have never been centred in a Nigerian story. Overall, the character development was very poor, the story arc was almost linear, terrible subplots which was a huge mistake considering the calibre of actors playing supporting roles.

They highs were the beautiful editing and colouring, Akah, Stan Nze and Big Mummy.

I wanted more.

Like no one should remember this as an actual film that was made. 3.3million dollar in the drain, mtcheew. This thing (its an insult to call it a film) is not worthy of a review so no not gonna waste my time.
