A 90 minute pharmaceutical commercial
2 November 2022
It's like a 90 minute pharmaceutical commercial, where everybody is happy and a little glassy-eyed, the sun is shining but not too brightly, and they do random things together like riding scooters or rummaging through racks of dresses or painting a room. Everyone is perfectly photogenic and well-mannered. Any hint of drama or conflict is immediately deflated in another round of smiles and hugs. A perfectly adorable young woman with flawless hair, skin and makeup plants herself next to him in his very first class and boom, they're BFFs on the spot. She hugs him, kisses him, whispers in his ear, makes googoo eyes at him, but it's all just good clean fun, they're besties, who could possibly get the wrong idea?

I concede that I didn't watch the whole thing. I was concerned I would do myself an injury with the severity of the involuntary eyerolling. If I'd been Hanks I would have been swimming back to that island.
