Reviews
Some of the many character moments that stood out to me included the conversation between Lara Rix (Max) and Dani (Aliandra Calabrese) about social media and influencers, in which they were at each-others’ throats with their divergent opinions.

Lara Rix is the studious and enthusiastic Kim. She is a good influence on Kel, that Kel initially rebuffs. Her sweet innocence and blind optimism are exactly what Jane and Kel need to move to the next chapter in their lives. Rix really steals the show as Kim and gives all her boundless energy to the role. She is a delight to watch and a perfect comedic relief.
