i don't usually enjoy campy shows, so i was shocked when i was hooked on cooking crush instantly. i really like that in typical offgun series fashion, queerness was not treated as if it's some fantasy experience. they openly acknowledged the presence of homophobia and allowed the characters to fear rejection without watering their entire character down to how much they struggled.

the jokes almost all landed for me, the camera angles were fun, the acting was obviously incredible, and the plot was a bit lost on the cut version but honestly i personally didn't find it too bothersome.

overall i think this series deserves more appreciation. it's sweet, funny, and almost every character is extremely unique and lovable.
