I have been watching Flunk since it was first released, I think it is a cute little web-series which is definitely easy to keep up with and get attached to.

The first half of season 1 is a bit rocky, there is some weird structural issues with seemingly starting as a story about Stella and then moving on to Ingrid and basically abandoning Stella's stories. In the second half it is a nicer feel, mostly following Ingrid but showing a little more interconnection. Season 2 seems to have found the groove of a pretty equal balance of the different storylines and characters - although it seems like we have lost Ingrid here, the person who we followed for the majority of season 1, which is an interesting choice.

It's a nice story and the characters feel real, although I think there is a definitely a lot of overlap in the personalities and depictions - Stella, Ruby, Freya and Heidi all feel like the exact same character, some of them doubled with very similar counterparts of Tabby and Ingrid. There isn't a strong diversity in the relationships/friendships and the way they all interact with each other, it can seem like a set of copies of Person A and Person B hanging out.

I enjoy the representation, but I find it quite surface level at times though, very shallow depictions and scenes that could dig deeper in to the topics they explore occasionally.

The writing can be quite wooden and some of the acting is a little questionable at times, but not 'bad'. Dani and her brother are the best performers I would say, but I think everyone does pretty well with the script. It's much more naturalistic than a lot of teen dramas in terms of style and delivery, but I think you can tell it's written/created by someone who is not a teenager, given the dialogue and some of the storylines.

I do find the release strategy a little frustrating, of waiting a week for a 2 or 3 minute clip that doesn't add much/leaves you rather unsatisfied. But given that it's just a low budget Youtube series, I appreciate the frequency and the amount of content it has overall.

Apart from all that though, it's easy watching as it's pretty short and sweet. I am hoping they explore the LGBT aspects of the story a bit further in future seasons. It seems like it is getting better as it goes along and finding its style, so I am looking forward to seeing it in the future.

Heavy show. Pity its not on TV. It's well good enough.

Just making my mark before this blows up and becomes the most popular tv show of all time 👏🏼💓
