00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.279
Welcome to My Vertical Obsession. I'm your host, Megan, and

2
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:05.919
today we are talking Step by Step, which is on

3
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:10.240
Super Punchy app which is by Super Punchy Studios. It

4
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:15.199
stars Nicole Maddox as Piper, Seth Dean as Parker, Hayley

5
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:20.519
Lorelai as Holly, Molly Anderson as Lily, John Bridell as Xavier,

6
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.280
and Nicole Diane as Joyce. So the synopsis for this

7
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.359
one is two star cross lovers with an unexpected bond

8
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.120
are forced to choose between their forbidden love and their

9
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.280
loyalty to the people who need the most. My overview

10
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.439
for this one is after a chance meeting in a club,

11
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.759
Piper and Parker find out their parents are engaged. Now

12
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.280
they're going to be spending two weeks together on a

13
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.000
family vacation. Piper is determined to forget what happened between

14
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.560
them so their parents can be happy. Parker wants to

15
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.439
prove they can be together, but also wants his father

16
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.320
to be happy as well. After their parents announced they're

17
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.000
getting married at the end of the two week vacation,

18
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.359
Piper and Parker agree they can't happen when they're parents

19
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.520
are gone for the weekend, Parker and Piper finally admit

20
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.480
their feelings for each other and give in to their feelings.

21
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.200
They agree that no one can ever know, so not

22
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.319
to ruin their parents' happiness. But when Piper's sister Lily

23
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.719
shows up, their secret is at risk of being exposed.

24
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.640
Parker tried to bribe her after rejecting her subjection. When

25
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.760
the wedding happens, Lily exposes everything. At the reception, Piper

26
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.319
admits it's true and that they love each other. Their

27
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.239
parents tell them that they're not upset and they should

28
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.799
follow their hearts. Even though they may be married. Piper

29
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.480
and Parker's hearts are with each other. Guer all, they

30
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.319
didn't grow up together and they're not blood related, so

31
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.920
it's not weird or wrong. Even though they had their

32
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.280
family's blessing, Piper still didn't believe it could work, so

33
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.719
she leaves to go back to work and walks away

34
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.480
from Parker, but Parker's dad says they will see each

35
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.159
other again. So now to get into the talking points.

36
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.159
The first one will be Seth and Nicole. Oh my god,

37
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.959
how I love watching Seth and Nicole on screen together.

38
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.959
They are so amazing and I just I love watching

39
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:07.079
them act together. Their chemistry is just so good, and

40
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.759
for this one, I felt like it really gave them

41
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.599
a chance to show off their acting. While I love

42
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.039
their real short series and will continue to watch them,

43
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.199
I do feel that they can be limited to the

44
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:23.639
soapy drama of verticals, whereas this one wasn't the soapy drama,

45
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.120
so it allowed them to stretch their acting muscles a

46
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.400
little bit, and I think it was what made it

47
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.080
so good is that there was a bit more story

48
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.759
to it. It felt like Seth and Nicole really dove

49
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.159
into these characters and it made the series that much better.

50
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.479
And it also helps that the two play off each

51
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.000
other so well. It's just the two of them are

52
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.479
just amazing together and this was really a great series

53
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:48.319
for both of them, and I hope there are more

54
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.919
series like this for them in the future. So the

55
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.319
next topic I had was the series type, So for

56
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.879
this one, it said one of the things I really

57
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.199
liked about this series was it didn't feel like a

58
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.759
typical verse. When I was writing the notes, I had

59
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.080
put it was more spicy, dirty, and raunchy, mostly because

60
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:07.919
I couldn't come up with the right words to use.

61
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.599
Sometimes words don't always pop in my head, but what

62
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:13.639
I was trying to say is it didn't have the

63
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.520
same feel as a typical vertical series. It was more

64
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.319
raw with a little bit of spice, which helped make

65
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.719
it feel more like a movie that was put as

66
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.240
a vertical. This was similar to what I had said

67
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.719
about the series playback. It gave the series a more

68
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.879
serious feel to it first typical verticals that have more

69
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:36.000
soapy drama to them. While the storyline is still a

70
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.520
typical trope and verticals, they did it in a way

71
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.639
that made it not feel soapy. I love that verticals

72
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.680
are starting to do more series like this. I hope

73
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.360
to see more series that have a bit more romance

74
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.479
and drama and less soapy style. Well, a soapy style

75
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.120
brings people in. I feel the more down to earth

76
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.039
stories storylines might be what keeps people interested. I want

77
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.879
to see verticals expand and do great things. I do

78
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.639
this is only the beginning for series and stories like

79
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:06.879
this one. So my next point was about the phone

80
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.400
call Parker made and then goes into the rain confession.

81
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.120
So those are kind of my next two points. So

82
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.040
the phone call, I totally believe that when Parker in

83
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.680
the living room working and then helping out his dad

84
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:22.839
with the money and the suit. That is when she

85
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.560
fell in love with him. I think seeing the way

86
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.600
he was with his dad and how he was telling

87
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.959
him to do it even though it would cost a lot,

88
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.120
really showed her he cared about his father's happiness no

89
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.600
matter what that he was willing to make sure his

90
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.319
dad was happy, just like she would do for her mom.

91
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.160
She might not have had the same money, but the

92
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.040
sentiment of it all was what mattered. He wasn't just

93
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.120
a gamer or a lazy guy, but one who worked

94
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.720
hard and cared for those in his life. Piper saw

95
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.959
that in that moment and couldn't help but fall in

96
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.040
love with him. Like she said, he was such a

97
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.079
great guy, because that was one of the things that

98
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.120
she said to him, is that you're such a great guy,

99
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.639
when she was yelling at him about how this whole

100
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.720
dynamic they had makes it harder because he's such a

101
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.959
great guy. So and I truly believe that that phone

102
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.560
call is when she really fell for him and started

103
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.879
to fall in love with him. And now to the

104
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.199
actual moment of when she admits that she loves him,

105
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.720
which is the Ring confession. So I am the biggest

106
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.120
sucker for a rain confession, and this one did not disappoint,

107
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:28.680
And I think I enjoyed it more because it was

108
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.040
Seth and Nicole. There was just something so romantic about

109
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.879
confessing your love in the rain, so imparactical and foolish,

110
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.160
but still so romantic. I feel like maybe the Notebook

111
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.000
helped make the trope what it is in cinema because

112
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.399
of the whole moment of I wrote you every day

113
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.839
for a year. And I know it's been around before

114
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.319
the Notebook, but I feel the movie helped give it

115
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.079
the push to get it out there more into series

116
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:58.399
and movies, because sometimes when breakout shows or movies do something,

117
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.439
it becomes a little bit more popular because people are like, oh,

118
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.439
they really liked that in this one, so will continue

119
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.040
to do it. Even though it's been around, it's still

120
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.800
sometimes one movie or one show gives it that push

121
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.279
to make it a little bit more popular. And I

122
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.000
think the Notebook helped make that a little bit more popular,

123
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.759
especially after it aired or premiered. But continuing on, I said,

124
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:23.800
it's just something about being out in the rain and

125
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.560
someone confessing their feelings that makes you melt. They're willing

126
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.360
to follow you into a storm to tell you that

127
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.959
they love you, risk getting sick, to not let you go,

128
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.879
all these things wrapped into one moment. I will never

129
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.920
not like a rain scene love confession. It's the one

130
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.120
trope that I can watch anytime and still love. And

131
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:45.079
that is true. I love rain confessions. It's a little

132
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.759
cheesy how much I love rain confession. So to have

133
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:52.480
one in this series was so amazing and I loved

134
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.399
every minute of it. And like I said, I think

135
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.319
having it be Said and Nicole as their characters made

136
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.800
it so much better for me. As I said, I

137
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.120
love seeing them on screen together. So the next note

138
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.920
I had was about the parents, and this one kind

139
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:10.560
of scratches my head a little, but also at the

140
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.920
same time, I'm like, wait, maybe there's something to this.

141
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.959
So I had said, how did they not know Parker

142
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.839
and Piper were getting together? So when Parker was hooking

143
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.120
up with Holly, Piper could hear them in the kitchen,

144
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.680
So unless it was Holly that was just that loud,

145
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.720
then the parents should have known. And my brain also

146
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:32.279
connected to the fact that they did slightly hear them.

147
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.519
The parents did slightly. Hear Parker and Piper at one

148
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.560
point when they were in the kitchen and the dad

149
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.839
just simply goes, hey, not too rough, And I'm just like,

150
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.079
does he think that they're just rough housing or do

151
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:48.079
they actually know and they're just being silly, because it

152
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.000
was like, how could you not know what was happening

153
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.199
under your own room? So then that goes on to

154
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.879
my second point of they did know Piper and Parker

155
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.000
were together, but they just didn't want to tell them

156
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.079
because at the reception, after Lee told everyone, they were

157
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.920
okay with it, and it kind of seemed like they

158
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.399
knew they should be together. So it makes sense that

159
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.319
they would have known the whole time. And I mean,

160
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.959
Piper and Parker weren't really sneaky about it if you

161
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.959
think about it. So I was thinking maybe when Piper's

162
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.800
mom saw them that first night, she had talked to

163
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.639
Xavier and they kind of agreed that it was okay,

164
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.319
but they didn't want the kids to know that they knew,

165
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.639
so they kind of played dumb on the whole situation

166
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.320
because they wanted the kids to tell them. But I

167
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.120
feel like the parents wouldn't have been that foolish not

168
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.919
to know what was going on, you know, more on

169
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.840
the side of they knew and were just waiting for

170
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.360
the kids, you know, waiting for Piper and Parker to

171
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.759
tell them what was happening. That's my theory. I don't

172
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.360
know if that's right or if I'm just like wanting

173
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.799
it to be like that, but that's that's my theory

174
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.919
with the parents. And so my next point is actually

175
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.480
about Lily the sister. So getting into Lily, I said,

176
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.320
I feel like there's a lot more to this whole

177
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.679
Lily situation. She is upset about her mom getting remarried

178
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.200
and tries to ruin it and her sister at the

179
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.919
same time, she and Piper seem to be at odds.

180
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.600
It seems something more is going on that we aren't

181
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:17.960
aware of. I get kids do get upset if their

182
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:21.080
parents remarried. But it has been twenty years since their

183
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.080
dad died. So did she just want her mom to

184
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.399
be alone forever? Why wouldn't she want her mom to

185
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.000
find someone who could make her happy. Well, she might

186
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.120
see it as her mom is trying to replace her dad.

187
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.399
She should still understand that she could never do that.

188
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.720
I get that that isn't always easy to understand. So

189
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.440
I do understand that that is also probably where Lily

190
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.840
is coming from, is that she is still under the

191
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.679
impression that her mom is trying to replace her dad

192
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:48.320
and she doesn't want that type of anger and upset

193
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.320
is one of the things going on with Lily, and

194
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.399
I know sometimes that can be hard to be like, Okay,

195
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.000
I'm okay with this, because you don't want to see

196
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.639
someone that you love placed even though he is not

197
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:05.279
with you anymore. So I do kind of get that

198
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.200
frustration from Lily, But some of the other stuff, I'm

199
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.480
just like, I feel like there's more to this, which

200
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.679
we get into. Is also going after her sister to

201
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.000
try and use the secret to ruin everything was just cruel.

202
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.279
I felt like Lily was doing that one just out

203
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.559
of spite. I also know that there was a mention

204
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.000
of a boy in high school that caused issues. Had

205
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.600
that been this issue the whole time? Or does Lily

206
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.279
not like Piper for another reason, because there really seems

207
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.679
to be a lot of issues, not a lot, but

208
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:34.159
there seems to be some sort of issue between Piper

209
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.679
and Lily and some tension between the sisters, So I

210
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.559
feel like there's something else there one of the things

211
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.679
that I thought was maybe Lily felt like their mom

212
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:47.799
liked Piper more and she resented Piper for it. I

213
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.720
would love to explore more on Lily and why she's

214
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.960
so angry. I feel there is more, and I hope

215
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.759
we kind of get to see that, because again I do.

216
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.759
I feel like there's more to Lily and why she

217
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.799
in so much pain and why she's so angry, and

218
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:04.879
I feel like we didn't really get to see much

219
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:07.279
of that in this series, So I kind of hope

220
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.639
maybe we will in the future, if there's more, if

221
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.679
there could be more, just saying so. And my last

222
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:16.639
note was about the end, which threw me a little bit.

223
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.559
What I said is the end throw me a bit.

224
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.279
When we see Piper in bed after the wedding, her

225
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.639
makeup is gone, she's out of the dress. Then she

226
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.039
gets up, goes outside and she's in the dress it

227
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.960
got her makeup on. Then we're back inside she's in

228
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:31.639
a new outfit getting ready to leave. So I know

229
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.600
she didn't just get out of bed to put on

230
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.240
her wedding look. So I'm between that it was a

231
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.440
flashback to when everyone had left. We're just simply a

232
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.399
mistake of how the scenes went, but I'm going to

233
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.559
pretend it was a flashback, and when she got up,

234
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.039
she was getting up to pack her bags, and the

235
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.159
flashback is part of why she's packing her bags now.

236
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.399
I just feel it works better that way than to

237
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.320
things she got dressed back up to go outside only

238
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:57.559
to come back in and change. So this is how

239
00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.399
I look at it in the scene. It keeps my

240
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.840
head from being confused. So yeah, that was just the

241
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.080
one thing that kind of like groomy off was the

242
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:07.679
fact that we see her in bed, in her night attire,

243
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.240
her hair down, her makeup gone, and then we cut

244
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.879
to another scene where she's back in the dress she

245
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.320
wore at the wedding, her hair's up, her makeup's done,

246
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:17.759
and then we cut back to her in her room

247
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.360
and she's in a completely different outfit again, And I'm

248
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.879
just like, I feel like the way those scenes were

249
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.320
shot might have not been how they were edited to

250
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:29.919
get there, that maybe the scene of her looking out

251
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.759
at everything was supposed to happen before the scene of

252
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.840
her in bed or something like that. But it helps

253
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:37.600
my brain to make it seem like it was a

254
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.559
flashback of her thinking back to this moment and being like, Okay, no,

255
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:43.399
I have to go back to work. I have to

256
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.279
walk away. This is not gonna work between me and Parker.

257
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.639
So that's how I kind of see the scene, but

258
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.039
it did kind of throw me off a little bit.

259
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.320
Not gonna lie. So now to my overall thoughts of

260
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:57.879
this was I really enjoyed the series so much. As

261
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:01.080
I mentioned, the series doesn't have a typical vertical feel.

262
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.480
Nicol and Seth really shined in this one. Hailey was

263
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.399
also really greed as Holly. I loved seeing her as

264
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.960
Holly and what I had said was that she had

265
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:14.799
this sweet, naive personality and I love how Haley played that,

266
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.200
and it also made me like the character of Holly

267
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:21.559
so much more as we continued on with the series,

268
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.799
especially at the end when she was on Pipers side

269
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.480
and wanted to get rid of Lily. So I love Haley.

270
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.759
She's another actress that I really love and really love

271
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:34.000
getting to see her series. So her playing Holly was

272
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:38.159
a treat. And then we have Molly as Lily, who

273
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:42.120
was another one who was great. She was fantastic. I

274
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:45.559
loved seeing her as Lily and I said how she

275
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.360
plays mean girl so well, and she made Lily likable

276
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:51.399
and unlikable all at the same time. As I had mentioned,

277
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.600
I feel there is more to Lily and all the

278
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.639
pain she clearly had, Mollie did a great job with

279
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.720
showing that with Lily. This series really was so well

280
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:04.000
done and so well cast. I do love that they

281
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:05.879
set this up for a sequel, and I do hope

282
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.320
we get that the app looks like there might be one,

283
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.720
and I hope that is true. This was so good.

284
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.000
Hats off to the writing, directing, and everyone who helped

285
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:18.159
create this because it was fantastic, great series, and I

286
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.039
would one hundred percent watch if there was a secrel

287
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.279
sequel because I love this one so much. I've watched

288
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:27.799
it a couple of times now because I just loved

289
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.600
how great it was. It was so amazing. Onto the rating,

290
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.679
I gave it a nine out of ten because again, amazing,

291
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.120
so great, had to give it all nines. I'd give

292
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.519
it a ten, but I don't fully do that with

293
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.440
series just yet. We're getting there though. If anything, this

294
00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.519
probably would have been a ten if I did that.

295
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:48.320
But this one high praise nine out of ten, amazing,

296
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.440
so great, Highly recommend it. Haven't seen it yet, go

297
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:56.840
watch it seriously. Nicole Seth, Molly and Haley stand out amazing,

298
00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.919
so great. I will just say though there could have

299
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.399
more Molly. I would have loved to see more Molly.

300
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:04.440
I will say that her and Hailey I feel like

301
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:06.360
they we could have seen a little bit more of

302
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:10.039
hert Haley. Then at the end though, when Holly was

303
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.840
chasing after Lily to kick her out of the wedding,

304
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:18.559
peak comedy so great. Love that moment. But as always,

305
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.799
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the series, what
