So, hearts …
So many people’s hearts all over the place.
This show really is about relationships. I’m still not sure how well this is translating. A) I’m watching the original on Hulu and it is SO VERY different and rings all of my nostalgia bells. 2) There are behaviors that resonant, for me, more with what you encounter in a YA scenario than an adult one. Max’s reckless confessions to Liz, showing her all the things like immediately and giving up Isabel and Michael in the process made more sense when they were sixteen year olds than it does in this iteration of the show. BUT!!!!! Those were also all the things that we loved about Max and Liz. The immediate connection, which is definitely being framed here. I do love that in the Pilot, Liz pumps the breaks on the progression of the relationship because she does realize that what she is experiencing via the hand print is may be Max’s feelings and not necessarily her own. That idea gets revisited in Episode 2 and then turned on its head at the end of the episode.
( Spoilers – You know the drill! )
