Post-PBB Film/Series Ensemble Projects
Coming from Collab S1 nagkaroon na ng Hotel 88 at Huwag Kang Titingin ang housemates and isa sa pinaka-common critique sa projects nilang yan ay sana nag focus na lang sa light Gen Z barkada theme kesa ipilit yung serious horror/mystery kasi maraming di pa marunong umarte sa kanila.
May romcom and pure comedy moments naman sa H88 pero nahahatak pababa yung overall quality dahil hindi nagwowork yung mystery/thriller element. At least for me.
Curious lang ako bakit kaya hindi nila ginawang full on light barkada story ang projects nila? Parang yun kasi ang obivous logical decision. Unless... wala bang market ang genre na yon at the moment? Limited lang ba ang interest ng casuals sa horror/mystery gaya ng puro action sa primetime?
Michael has Born to Shine na Gen Z centric at mataas ratings nito compared sa other afternoon shows. So may audience naman talaga ang genre na yan, at least on tv afternoon slot.
LYSB was the right genre pero rushed. I think mas nag work sana yun kung ensemble na lang with the rest of the housemates. pwede silang classmates lahat sa uni, tapos 2026 summer release para hindi minadali. It would have been the perfect project to cap off their pbb season.
Sa tingin nyo, bakit hindi sila binigyan ng fun and lighthearted gen z barkada story for their first ensemble project? It seemed like the obvious choice.
