TLDR

Body swap means someone’s gonna masturbate.

What it's about

After stumbling upon someone’s remains, Léa wakes up in the 1990s in someone else’s body—and it keeps happening with different bodies.

The take

What starts out a cliche outdoor party scene with admittedly introspective narration, takes a hard left turn into its trippy premise. As soon as the story’s complexity and depth make its presence felt with its many intertwining characters and narratives, the experience can range from interesting, to lethargic, to confusing. Characters don't feel all that different, and all the "resets" can make the series feel un-homely for long stretches, like it's constantly drifting away from answers. At its best, it’s caring, ambitious, and it knows the last possible second to dangle a carrot in front of you. But it’s also a lot of bland carrots to keep track of.

What stands out

High school me would’ve kept watching just for the cool soundtrack.
