Puh… okay. So in theory, I love a good hero x villain romance, and this wasn’t even bad per se, I actually really liked Mal, but maaaan did Danny get on my nerves. Like, I get his trauma to a certain extent, I really do. But the way he kept treating his family and friends like absolute trash over and over again? That was… a lot. But okay, people deal with trauma differently, I’m trying to be understanding. HOWEVER. Sir. Why did everything have to revolve around him. ALL. THE. TIME.😭 And the crying?? So. Much. Crying. And every time I thought, “oh finally, we’re going to explore Mal’s trauma now,” Danny would somehow manage to make it about himself again two seconds later. Mal was out here being injured and still somehow taking care of Danny emotionally?? Make it make sense. I just wanted to grab him and be like: please, for the love of everything, give Mal ONE moment. Also the plot? Painfully obvious. And the fact that Danny is a detective but misses the most obvious clues?? Sir, what are we doing here. Anyway, enough ranting😌 It did have some genuinely good moments, and like I said, I really liked Mal and some of the side characters. But yeah… Danny and I? We were not vibing. At all.
