[AnimeMania]

Premiere Date: September 13, 2024    Hulu

Oh nooooo.  Not Carlos.  I thought he was giving off a really sexy vibe but he's not only bad at sex but he's also married. 

Ugh. 

[possibilities]

The stealing of the other woman's credit card is hanging like the sword of Damocles while I watch... I just know that's going to fall just as she starts to be happy.

I guess that she and her brother will have a mutually assured destruction situation now, with her using his social security number and also knowing he's cheating on his wife. Unless he and the wife have an open relationship, she will have that to hold over him when her use if his soc sec # is discovered. 

I don't know what she was supposed to do about the medical bill, though.

I really like Tamika and the bartender whose name I don't know.

I like that the show has her being so in demand. She's likable, she's sexy, she's all the things. But it's also a little upsetting how tv and movies make it look like a person's problems are all about self-sabotage. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have not noticed most people having multiple suitors falling all over them, instant friends everywhere they go, and job opportunities falling in their laps.

I felt a little bad for her ex's fiancee. She seems genuinely cool, and everybody is lying to her. 

I hope this isn't a rom com where she reconciles with her ex and he breaks the fiancee's heart at the altar or something like that. It would be nice to see that even if you let go of the person you think you wanted, you can still find someone else-- and maybe a better match. The one and only soulmate, and the "one that got away" trope, are kind of overdone. Plus, I don't trust him.

Does Conrad R always play gay characters? I think this is the third role I've seen him in, and each time his character was gay.

Well this is where I give up. I kept waiting for this show to get good but it never did. The main character is such a horrible person, it doesn't help.

That's because casting directors are making more of an effort to cast gay actors in the roles of gay characters.
