Drakoloid Review: April 15th ARTic "The Longest Couple"

Hey so here is another review,

This time it is for the ARTic episode "The Longest Couple" which is a very different episode than from other episodes especially recently it is kind of polarized from the others so lets start the review.



The Longest Couple is an episode where Jennifer and Bradley look through Blake's old high school senior yearbook from a few years ago and Jennifer and Bradley not only find out that Blake and Samantha went to the same school together but they were also labelled "The Longest Couple" for senior year. Which leads to Jennifer and Bradley trying to find out the truth.

This episode had great acting performances by Andrew Bouchahine, Alejandra Deleon and Sarah Kellysen but the main objective is Andrew and Alejandra  were the center as far as plot developing goes. I do notice that Rhys Clarke's parts in this were recycled clips and just didn't combine well in this episode which brings down the episode quality a bit. I don't know if Rhys didn't have time to film and they just wanted to release this episode.

Now the episode is about Jennifer (and Bradley) finding out if they were a couple which the confrontation scene is well executed. Alejandra and Andrew played it out really well to be subtle but then switch their attitude when Jennifer leaves. It turns out the plot twist was they were a couple but their both embarrassed by it which makes sense why they hate on each other now since the beginning of the series. This storyline was probably one of the most interesting from the third season.



I will have to give this episode an 8/10 mainly for its storyline and well executed scenes with Alejandra and Andrew in this episode. This would be a 7.5 if it didn't have those aspects. We also are missing several main characters in this episode too so it felt like a shorter cast. But overall well done!
