Pit Babe

I've only watched the first three episodes at the time of this review, but I have to admit. This is shaping up to be a possibly really great show.

When it comes to Thai BLs, I have watched many of them, and they can be hit or miss. Like most dramas, they can become a bit formulaic and, in my experience, that's been no exception for Thai BLs, but Pit Babe has got me hooked and eagerly awaiting the next episode each week. It has that feel of what's expected and comfortable, but also gives a breath of something fresh and new.

There's a lot to be appreciated about the show in just the first three episodes, although that Thai BL angsty drama is ever-present, the storyline and execution of the premise has thus far been really well played out.

Storylines set in the omegaverse have always been only a fictional premise that I have read about, but never seen in a show. Pit Babe is actually delving into this incredible fictional universe, even though it's only just dipped its toes into it so far, it's still really fun to see this fantasy idea played out on screen.

I've found myself interested in the side characters and their arcs just as mush as that of the leads, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it all goes. Great job so far with the acting and writing, I really am enjoying it.

It's yet to be seen if the rigors of the Thai BL storyline conformity will set in, but so far, I'm liking it and looking forward to more.

Edit: now that the show is done and over, I am left wanting a bit. I will say the show was good, but not necessarily great. However, it kept me tuned in every week, so for that I will give Pit Babe my respect and love. Regardless of what it was lacking, it still kept me entertained.

The acting from the cast are phenomenal!

I am understanding Charlie's character more and pooh embodied it to perfection.

The emotional scenes between the lead actors are very captivating and panel is a damn good actor!

Overall, the whole cast are all doing well but I know they can do better.

The racing scenes are more intense than the previous season and they included more racing scenes as well which I find very satisfying to watch.

I would really love that they give us a cute family moments of the two main couples, to heal the angst this new season came with😫.

However, one of the irks i had was with the script writing🤧 whoever wrote the scripts had a lot of loopholes and made everything a bit messy. But I am glad even with the whole thing I am still captivated and eager for each episode! Episode 7 has taken the top spot for me let's see if it gets better😁🤞.

I know that Thai names are funny and sometimes straight up laughable. But naming Babe for a man? That really got me laughing my butt off. But in all seriousness, funny names aside, this series started off slow paced and kinda boring. The story only starting to get more interesting halfway through the whole series. The first few episodes were kinda dull. I also didn't expect that this series is about people with special abilities. They call it senses, in this series. Kinda like X-Men, but far less cool. Why less cool, you asked? Well, they didn't cultivate this senses more. It's nothing more than an accessories to the plot. Had they used more of it, the story would've been much more interesting to watch. Too bad. Imagine having Professor X in a series only for him to use his mind reading ability once or twice the whole series. Kinda lame.

I should say that I am gay, I don't hate yaoi/yuri if it's done well, and I personally need a straight woman that fetishizes gay people to use as an accessory. However, this just wasn't good? Like I understand that the omegaverse elements are going to make it a little jarring, but it isn't even about that to some extent. The story and dialogue just reads as fan fiction, and while that's camp and funny, it doesn't make for good storytelling. The cinematography and editing are absolutely insane and the pacing is whack.

The acting isn't terrible and the cast look like they're genuinely having fun making the show, which definitely makes it better, but quite frankly its unsalvagable.

Pitbabe has its cringe moments for sure, which are often talked about, but to me, it's only the papa and mama pet names- I got over it pretty quickly though. Besides that (and Babe being a bottom), this show is filled with drama and twists and turns. I personally love the show; it's funny, it's sad, it's thrilling, and it's fantasy. Although I've seen a lot of negative reviews in regards to the second season, I don't really have anything bad to say about it.

They have some of the best couples; one pairing was even unexpected but heavily adored. I won't name them because I don't want to give people even the slightest of spoilers if they don't already know.

Some parts of the plot are cliché, and they even used a trope I don't particularly like, but in the end, I still loved every bit of it, and I was entirely entertained and on the edge of my seat. The first season is still better in my opinion, but that's usually the case with most shows. Of course, I cried in the end (I'm very emotional when it comes to my tv shows), and I spent so much time stressing as it was being released, wondering if it would be a happy or sad ending. I'm glad I waited till all episodes of season 2 were out before starting my binge, as I finished it in 2 days. Watching season 2 made me realize I loved this show more than I originally thought. It's a Must Watch.
