Dash & Lily

fav

Very cute, clever and endearing. Hooked from the pilot. Looking forward to seeing how this pans out. Makes a nice change from teenagers swearing, using drugs and trying to get laid - that just gets old and poisons our youth.

Nice little show but it's so hard to reconcile the age of the characters and age of the actors. Lilly is supposed to be in high school? She's played by a 26 year old woman. Cute story but why not get an appropriately aged actor? (Like millie bobby brown in Enola Holmes - for once, casting gets it right - a 16 year old played by a 16 year old)

Ok full disclosure I LOVE xmas movies or shows but this one is not your usual cheesy like nachos fest about two middle aged people falling in love setting up a Christmas carnival. It's heartfelt and genuine, allows you take a side of happy go lucky or cynical and slightly bitter (the side I'm choosing this year personally). It's also got a bit of mystery to what comes next and it's written and acted well. The leads are amazing and you definitely should try it.

This tv series was addictive from the pilot. Despite how cliched it was sometimes, it was also original and refreshing. The characters weren't your average 10/10 models, but normal people who were both relatable and interesting. Netflix did very well with this cute Christmas series.

Terrible cheesy cliched mess of a series .... Around the 100th show/movie I have seen with an on the way to the airport climax ..... 3 hours of my life I will never get back

I hesitated between giving this 6 or 7 stars. I still do. The first 5 episodes are okay. Not impressive, not bad, good enough to keep watching. I watched not because the story is great but because once you start watching, you need closure. But then episode 6 till the end is a bit too long and stretched, I started getting bored and even irritated. The ending looks very artificial, too much actually. It could have been better. Not sure if this is because of the book the show is based on or the series writing. In the end those 8 rather short (under 25 minutes each) episodes look like a single romcom feature film with a lousy ending. Especially the guy, he looks artificially too soft in the last episodes and I did not find him credible anymore, unlike at the beginning. He even looks like he is high in the finale. Bizarre. I am giving 7, because it made me watched the entire season. But as I said, it is short (few episodes, and short ones). I wish I could give 6.5 stars, 7 is for the first 5 episodes only.

I couldn't get past the first seven minutes. Didn't keep my interest no matter what. Blah.

This series is a really good one, I was waiting for this series to be released for a long time because of midori Francis. She has portrayed a really good role as lily as well as dash. This series as over all its nice. All the color grading, script, direction, acting, I like them all.

The first few episodes I thought it was a cute series with some promising ideas, considering it was focused on teen romance. It seemed that this series was going to be more balanced between being cheesy and an attempt of portraying teens with a more introspective point of view. But at the end the writers didn't seem to know how to write the last episodes, even though is a short series. I was hoping this was not another fiction where starting a relationship equals happiness. I was expecting for the characters to meet mid season, and see more realistic problematic related to the start of a loving relationship. But well, nope... Writers chose the easy and cheesy... These kids won't be together until the very end, and that's a happy ending. It's so unrealistic and kind of boring. The whole story felt rushed and very often cringy, but the last 3 episodes are the worse. The editing also gets bad by the end, with some voice over obviously added to some scenes to make us think characters are having conversations. Very unpolished. Actors were good in my opinion. I have seen worse, that's for sure. Maybe the characters could have been written better? Sure. Maybe the story should have been about kids in their 18s instead of teens? Probably, but then, apparently, the writers wouldn't know how to write something dramatic without having ridiculous plots to get to the climax.
