Review of Wayne

Wayne (2019)
6/10
Stylish and fun- but trashy undertones. Minor spoilers- not plot related.

I enjoyed watching the entire first season of this show. I loved the story and the characters and the film making was competent and stylish. The only fly in the ointment was occasional trashy behavior by our two main protagonists, which I found distasteful. I want to like these characters, flawed as they might be, but pulling an IV from a fellow student and spraying blood all over your classmates, smashing blood bags at the blood drive. For any reason, trashy and gross. Peeing in a pool after an understanding security guard lets you sleep there? Trashy.

Throwing a hammer at someone trying to help you? Trashy. Resorting to violence at the drop of a hat...

But, on the other hand, maybe these characters are victims of their environment and feel this is the only way to express themselves, just not sure we need rocking guitar tracks over these scenes. I think a sedate more melancholy for these scenes would be more appropriate, as it's sad that they feel they need to behave this way.

This complaint is a small-ish one. The show is very well done and it kept me watching till the end of the season. So totally competent entertainment.
