With shoddy dialogue and plot that is all over the place, it's hard to take Kiss Me First seriously. Look, I'm a fan of Brian Elsley's work, Dates was phenomenal television, and millennials grew up watching Skins, but this is not his best - it's nowhere near. When you get to the final episode, you'll begin to realise that none of the questions will be answered, and that none of the episodes that came before it mattered. More and more questions are continuously being raised, with characters going a full 180 in a matter of episodes. but it gets more and more nonsensical as the series goes on. A show about the dark side of online worlds, virtual reality and mental illness. Taking it on face value, it sounds intriguing. ![]() From the get go, Kiss Me First is an incomprehensible mess. I'm sad to say that Kiss Me First is not one of these - it doesn't buck this trend. Of course, a bad adaptation doesn't constitute a bad film or show, there's numerous examples of a film being better than its source material. I've never been so disappointed in my life. One of the worst adaptations of a good novel that I have ever witnessed. ![]() When it comes to bad adaptations, there's Eragon and there's The Golden Compass, there's The Girl on the Train and there's The Giver. ![]()
