Another Netflix series. I had my reservations. After Breaking bad, nothing could quite match up. And why would this be any different?
But I was pleasantly surprised. I read the graphic novel, so I was a reluctant starter. The first two episodes were decent. But then the characters came into their own.
What was so delicious about this was the awkwardness. People kiss awkward. Dance bad. Run funny. Freckles arent airbrushed over. Bad hair days are plenty.
And its all this that makes you love the characters more. Because we all are like that. Awkward. Tripping, spitting, bunch of loonies.
This happened even in Arjun Reddy. Where the first time the two leads kiss, is not this picture perfect kiss but an awkward moment, which made it all the more watchable.
So the next time you make a movie or write a story. It would be nice if you could think of this. How can the characters stumble a little? Trip a little? Say something off putting? Embarass themselves?
For thats how we all are. Perfectly imperfect.
