The Eclipse (2022)

[reviews_and_ramblings]

 Having loved this pair in Only Friends, I wanted to give it a try to The Eclipse, but I think this is not my cup of tea. High school romance is not my favorite setting, and while the couple was nice, the story was too less romance and too much thriller for me to appreciate. It's not that the thriller is something too much scaring or other, is that, for me, there is too little romance in comparison. HEA. You can see it on Youtube. Heat Level: 3/6. After writing this, a nice comment had me thinking that I was too harsh. Indeed the series is good, yes, it's not the romance I like, but the actors and their roles are well written and played. If you are in for a good characters development, for sure I suggest to give this one a chance.

Heat Level:

1/6: glances, caress, hugs, no kisses

2/6: kisses, closed mouth or camera angles

3/6: full kisses, clothes on

4/6: full kisses, some clothes off, hands above the waist, pants stay on

5/6: most clothes off, they have sex, but it’s masked, no sexy sounds

6/6: full nudity mostly hidden by camera angles, they have sex, sexy sounds

Maybe it would help to look at it more as relationship than romance? They are two intensely vulnerable 18 year old boys opening up to each other and trying to help each other with everything they have going on. They're not the most romantic types, but there's far more relationship than thriller in the series.
