The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
As we move past the halfway mark for the series, I have to admit that it’s hard to remember anything from prior episodes because they’re so empty. Such is the case here as we get the girls hanging around at first talking about gift giving before moving on to the case of formal marriage interviews, as one of their teachers may be of the right age for it considering her lifestyle. That leads them into a discussion of wondering how such marriage interviews go, and they play them out with each other, stumbling and bumbling through it as best as they can. It does reveal a little bit about each of them, but it’s so light and ephemeral so as to not really mean anything.
In Summary:
And such continues to the case of the series in that it really doesn’t mean anything. Which is fine, but it doesn’t have anything else to hang its hat on as the humor is light and simple and the characters are shallow and without meaning themselves. There are cute moments, but it’s not actually tied to anything in particular, such as a character interaction or a personality quirk. The concept of the series is one that I do think can be fun, but it’s not one that’s being managed well to be engaging here in this time format of just three minutes.
