The plot and concept were good, but seems like the execution of it fell short. The main character is difficult to identify with because her personality comes off as superficially amiable but otherwise emotionally immature and intellectually dull. It moves so slowly that it's easy to forget the overall story and just get literally lost in each scene. Aside from the overarching theme being portrayed very two-dimensionally, there's really nothing to hold your interest except for the persistent wishful thinking that if you just keep watching there's a chance it might get better (it doesn't). The characters just lack depth, and it's not really a "slow burn" because there's really no tension building up...it's just "slow," period.
