Latest Reviews & Buzz for
FLAMES (2018)

This web series is something that'll actually make you smile. It explores young budding romance and mostly encounters a guy's perspective. A young guy falling for a girl and falling for the same without much thought or worry. It explains or helps us relive our first crushes and what they were like or in most cases, what they would have been like. It would've been a much better rated web series had it not succumbed to the stereotype of ending on a good note, that's where it loses out on reality but that's one of the reasons why it feels very light hearted and fun to watch. We don't experience our baggage when we watch it just because it disconnects itself with reality at a few points. That's what works for everyone regardless of age and experience. So everything aside, just watch it and smile!

Flames feels like less of a show and more of a secret videotape of my own, and many others', tuition life during that hectic final year of school. It's got all the pressure and all the tension of class 12 set off against a light-hearted, budding romance that all of us have experienced - at least in our fantasies.
In five short episodes, The Timeliners take us down the memory lane of tuition friendships and crushes with all their naive drama and innocent awkwardness. The teasing, all-knowing voice-over of the Chemistry teacher as narrator is an echo of all the lessons learned from that time.
While the script could be more engaging, Season 1 of Flames warms the heart through its pure and simple plot. Let's hope that the hinted-at Season 2 gives us a little something more!
