Caught up with this series fairly recently / late, having missed the early lockdown hype and with no knowledge of the source book.
Found it to be a great story to semi-binge over 2-3 days, very well acted by both the leads (excellent) and the supporting cast. Really hit upon (from my memory) the reality and angst of teenage / school / uni romance, but looking at it from the perspective of a 35yr old + viewer, I did have moments of just wanting to bang their heads together and tell them to sort themselves out...
The two clearly fancy the pants off each other (both figuratively & literarily) but are prepared at times to detonate their whole relationship by not talking about their real feelings, or just clarifying what the other had just said or meant. If they had done that the relationship would have been a lot smoother - although the series wouldn't have been half as interesting.
I know I'm a totally different person now to how I was back at school / uni, and maybe youngster today are different to their late 20th century teen counterparts, but I tend to think I'd have acted differently (especially with the benefits of modern 24/7 global communication technology).
So definitely recommended, and maybe the frustration at the characters decisions is actually part of the viewing experience.
