    Look, I respect the serious effort that went into "Kiss Me First", it's just that it looks like it wasn't quite thought through all the way. Its VR world is too realistic and is several gens ahead of current state of the art. It's got weird, bizarre, and the troubled youth/life of England though with two or three moons in the sky it's apparently set in an Earth-similar reality.

It's got weird, bizarre, and the troubled youth/life of England though with two or three moons in the sky it's apparently set in an Earth-similar reality. I wish the protag was a bit more attractive and likable, that would've made our viewing journey more enjoyable. I think it's decent enough for a full run through, but I don't see a season 2 for it, so enjoy it as a one and done series. (It's relatively short at 6 eps of 50-mins each.)… Expand

    As a fan of litRPG I was really looking forward to a series that made this concept as a series! But where Ready Player One was generally successful, Kiss Me First is not. It starts promising, showing of the capabilities of the virtual world, with sensory stimulation even. Thouigh, the addition of a virtual layer on the story doesn't add much at all.

    For a while, it smacks of an admittedly less optimistic version of Mirror‘s “San Junipero,” these two repressed young women finding a much-needed release in one another that’s terabytes more intoxicating that anything Azana could render. But somewhere around the fourth hour of its 6-episode first season, the show becomes something markedly different and far less interesting: a tech-thriller overflowing with bugs it can’t patch.

    The show’s adherence to tired storytelling tropes hamstrings it from becoming more profound, exciting, or original. Instead, it somehow manages to be both sleepy and bleak, which only drives viewers to seek out a different reality elsewhere.

    Kiss Me First has no time for pesky matters like subtext as it takes an enticing-but-familiar premise and builds for five occasionally entertaining hours before a finale that's equal parts exasperating and hacky. ... The finale left me feeling like major character and narrative steps had been skipped and like the hook for future seasons was completely unearned. That's a hollow, sour feeling.
