Backpackers (2019)

Backpackers is a mini web series that consists of three episodes.

The story begins with Kanan, a banker who's recently out of a relationship decides to take a trip alone to find himself and see for himself what the solo trip hype is all about. While on the bus a very realistic circumstance of "exchange seats with me" forces Kanan to move seats where he ends up sitting next to Era, a free-spirited adventurous girl who's always on the move in life to explore new places and new things. Era along with her college friends Shivang and Anna let Kanan tag along after they miss the bus. The rest of the week is filled with Kanan breaking free from his comfort zone all while falling for Era.

Although the idea of travelling and connecting with people along the way sounds interesting, I feel like the writers missed out on a lot of scope that could have actually made the series much more connective with the audience. It felt slow paced and at times awkward to watch. The storyline could have been better written as the concept of the show was copasetic.
