First and foremost, all the actors are truly exceptional. However, as I delved deeper into the narrative, I began to question whether I was witnessing a profound human drama or a story about a mentally unstable man. The chaos surrounding the protagonist seemed largely self-inflicted, leading to a sense of confusion. While the grooming scene was remarkably authentic, the confession and coming-out scenes felt somewhat contrived. Perhaps I am still struggling to understand why he identified with Martha and why he fell so deeply in love with Teri. Nevertheless, I find myself intrigued by the genuine events that inspired this story.

Is this a powerful true human story, or is it a tale about a mentally unstable man with exceptional actors?

I loved the casting and the setting of this series. There's no gender segregation or Hollywood-style drama here; it simply portrays children and parents living their lives. Carli was particularly appealing, and I'm glad they didn't portray the East Asian girl as a stereotypical character.
By the way, it's clear that the characters are quite wealthy. With their huge, beautiful doors, spacious kitchen, wide bathroom, Koi pond, and annual trips to Greece(?) with their dad, they definitely come from privileged backgrounds. While some aspects may seem unrealistic, the heart of the story revolves around Mia's battle with an eating disorder.
Despite the somewhat 'unreal' elements, the kids and teens in the series are charming and vibrant. This drama is aimed at a youthful audience, and I appreciated it because it presents a vision of a better future. It avoids discussions of race and sexual orientation, creating a world where everyone is free to be themselves.
