This show is nothing like Off Campus. It’s basically “hooking up to relationship” …. The plot is about how they start out as just hookups who start falling for each other. It is an excellent show and gets better with each episode ❤️

Yay.. a new reactor! Looking forward to delving into your catalogue (some great movies there) and going on the HR journey with you 💚 I agree, the only things OC and HR have in common is ice hockey and that they are romance book adaptations. HR far exceeds OC in terms of just about everything (storytelling, adaption, cinematography, acting, lighting, use of music, original score). Dont get me wrong, I enjoyed OC - they did the hockey better, and had some great mic drops, but that's not hard when you have Amazon backing you financially. I felt like there was actually too much superfluous nudity, like what was the point of Allie taking her top off in ep 1, and the completely redundant locker room scene in episode 8 WTF?? I also felt like there was too much exposition and some of the arcs/plots felt rushed and incomplete. I only needed to watch it once. It's a little forgetable for me. The plot in HR is there, in everything thats not said. So much plot! Every single intimate scene tells you something about where they are in their relationship and their lives at the time, if you pay attention and look, its not what they're saying. They're crap at communicating properly! The show doesn't spoon feed information, like most do. There's no endless exposition, which I love. These characters a real and flawed, and very young during this episode (17 to 20). It feels pretty real - far more relateable than all the cookie cutter fairy tales we see in typical romance these days. I know you've watched and posted most of the episode reactions as of today, so you may have picked up on some of that stuff by now. But if not, once you finish reacting and other commentors give you more context, you should watch it again and see if your view point changes from this first reaction. Its infinitely rewatchable for a lot of us and after multiple rewatches, I still pick up something new.. Btw, Shane is super awkward because he's autistic (undiagnosed). The show never addresses it and its not in the book but the author has confirmed he is, and the actor played him that way. Not super important to know for the story telling, but as a nuerodivergent individual myself, I loved the representation - it's one of the best portayals I've seen in media.
