REALLY LOVE:\u00a0#SpoilerAlert<\/a>\u00a0Now streaming on\u00a0#Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The actors were gorgeous and the chemistry between the protagonist and his love interest (IMO, Stevie was not a protagonist because she didn’t have a clear goal or complications. She wanted him not her career and she could’ve had him.) was electric.<\/p>\n

But you know why we’re here. Let’s talk story. With Isaiah as our protagonist, let’s consider the A-story = Art and B-story = Stevie.<\/p>\n

Everything in a screenplay must be cause and effect. We must be able to track change even via emotional through lines. Though I enjoyed REALLY LOVE overall, my largest critique is the inability to track the cause of many effects.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n

What makes Stevie decide to go on the first date? She went from being too focused on school to on a date in the next scene. What changed?<\/p>\n

Would’ve loved to be able to track time in this relationship. It felt like days between meeting and living together.<\/p>\n

What caused Stevie to ask him to move in? Did she think this would help his inspiration?<\/p>\n

What changed from the show where Isaiah isn’t good enough to the solo show? What finally inspired him? It wasn’t Stevie because she was already a constant in his life.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for the rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
