Viewers have been similarly enchanted by the new series, taking to Twitter to share their joy at its release. The reviewer also mentioned how the visuals sit somewhere between Skins and Euphoria, 'without the gritty realness of the former, or the pretension and nihilism of the latter'. The show’s casting is also hailed as 'perfect' as Decider’s Alex Zalben says Locke and Connor’s 'chemistry is off the charts'. The critic calls this approach 'addictive' as she says the viewing experience will 'stay with you long after the credits roll'.
Lovia Gyarkye at The Hollywood Reporter (opens in new tab) commented on its sincerity and sweetness, pointing out this is its strength.
