This is the second vertical AI BL drama I've sat through, and honestly I went in knowing better. I had it on while I was doing cardio at the gym, and what struck me was just how much the plot echoed the last one I watched. Same step brother romance angle, same mystery girlfriend showing up near the end, same extra guy pining after one of the leads. Genuinely the only thing going for it was the runtime, the whole thing wrapped up in forty five minutes flat. The setup kicks off with Finn moving schools because his mom just married into money. He finds out his new step brother Aiden goes to the same place, and he's warned to keep his distance from him. Their first run in at school is rocky, just like you'd expect, but there's this odd pull between them neither can shake off. Finn keeps telling himself not to read into it because Aiden's straight and openly homophobic. Things shift when some kids start bullying Finn and the student council president, Ryan, steps in to ...
A happily committed couple Cam and Greg are looking to liven things up by adding a third to their relationship. They've already auditioned the hot younger Princeton with a make-out session; and now it's time to go all the way. But their nosy lesbian neighbors will have none of it. Even though it was Cam who wanted to experiment, turns out Greg gets all attention from Princeton. But as you can imagine from a whacky show like this, things dont go exactly as they were planned. In every episode we see this couple trying to expand into the brave new world of polyamory despite one hilariously awkward sexual debacle after another, complicated even further by the persistent Princeton, who wants more in spite of the less-than-ideal circumstances of their first encounter. We also see the relationship develop between the couple. Add a drag mother, since Cam is also known to do drag (in a wonderful scene, we see his skills).
The show is very watchable thanks to its two very charming leads who not only are very easy on the eyes but they act superb also. We do see a bit of over-the-top absurd humor but it works. This, almost like a comedy of errors kinda show show us the growth of the couple, details about Princeton, a new player in the game who actually wants Cam but not Greg (in a hilarious act of so called threesome). As you can imagine we do get to see a lot of sex scenes but none done badly. I mean, after all it is a show about sex, centering on characters exploring their sex lives. Each of the six episodes has its own classical sitcom structure, but they all stack together to form a complex arc of opening up, shutting down, and trying to escape from an unexpectedly sticky situation. You may think that the show tries to stereotype things but there is enough character development too. Like any sitcom couple, Greg and Cam find their way back to each other time and again. The actors bounce off each other with a zany energy, and become more central to the storyline than you might expect, but the show's leading men share a sweet chemistry that can withstand a demon twink or two. (7.5/10)
