Severo delivers another relatable series for the Gays
Meet Me Outside provides a "peek" at how a certain portion of gay hookups progress. As a gay person who has been in every gay dating platform, including Blued, I can't emphasize enough how ACCURATE episode 2, 5 and 6 are. It was as if I was reliving certain hook-ups from 3 years and a year ago. You can literally feel that this was made by gay people for gay people. It's also a great critique of the "fast food" relationships that these platforms have to offer.
I think the reception to Meet Me Outside is more than a go signal for Blued to fund a season 2 -- preferably separate from Gaya Sa Pelikula's season 2.
While not as tailored as the songs in GSP, the songs used in MMO nevertheless sufficiently conveyed the emotions portrayed by the scenes they appear in. Severo's use of Pavement and Danger by TheSunManager is a testament to his unwavering commitment toward the promotion of OPM regardless of local popularity. I had checked the official videos of these songs on YouTube and was surprised that both songs had no more than 200 views! Obviously, Pahintulot was the Ride Home of MMO.
I am thoroughly convinced that Kaloy (James) and Genesis (Dale) are a couple and you can't tell me otherwise. But I digress. I have only seen bits of Kaloy and Genesis' past acting stints in Boys' Lockdown and In Between, respectively, but I can definitely say that they were better in MMO. I am unsure whether this is a product of Severo's script and Habac's direction or the fact that these people shone more because they were given the opportunity. The awkward moments were accurately portrayed. Dale's duality as a shy yet daring (in the right conditions) man reminded me of someone I know. James' conversation with his ex was painfully familiar and the scenes that transpired in episode 5 all the more so.
Some people might doubt what a 50-minute series could offer, but dare I say, this series really captured a familiar part of the gay experience -- the soft moments, past and present, that we wish to relive in the future. Meet Me Outside is a good intro series for those who wish to start their BL journey and is definitely a series that many gay people would remember.
