I didn’t notice any contrast issues with the natural vs fake the author mentioned but it was his first time watching the show, so I wonder if it would have been the same for me if it was my first time. I thought Buggy and Hawk were better irl and the acting was incredible for almost every character. Some of the characters didn’t match the look or personality I thought they would have but I didn’t mind because their acting was spot on. Idk, I thought it was great.
