Just as I thought and imagined, I adore Helga. I love the differences and personalities friction between her and Lyna. I think this is an excellent opening to what lies ahead for them. On the other hand, there is Erik...
Several times I caught myself starting to feel something like despise. I understand all the dynamics and fear. On the one hand we have Lyna who is trying to process and explore her feelings and desires. And there is Erik, who is almost on the verge of tears because he got a boner. Yes, we know some of his thoughts but most of them are an attempt to be "a rational one" when he is affected by strong feelings. It's really starting to get hard to see him in a positive light and to treat him as an important part of the story. He definitely needs more screen time to be understood and known. We need to know what's really going on in his head. Portraying him the way he has been so far really puts a shadow on the whole story. I don't mean to take away his doubts and fears. But that needs a little more depth than locking in the bathroom with a boner and a few lines about him being a “monster.”
I won't lie. If there was a choice of which way I would like to go - Helga and Lyna, Lyna and Erik or all three of them - now I would choose Helga and Lyna without hesitation.
Oh! And yes, girls need to wear glasses.
