Beautiful TV show. Amazing actors. So much of life seen through the eyes of young boy. Drugs, violence, abuse. But above all, friendship, love and hope will always win.

For me, "Boy Swallows Universe" convinces above all with its extremely realistic portrayal of a family relationship - in particular, the relationships between Eli and Gus really do feels like a warm brotherhood. But the relationships with other characters such as the mother, father and stepfather also seem realistic. This is of course not least due to the outstanding acting of the actors. In general, with a few exceptions, the series presents really good acting. The story invites you to stay tuned and offers the viewer everything from hearty laughs to tear-filled eyes. In fact, the story reminded me a little of the video game series "Life is Strange" due to its mysterious nature, but still realistic portrayal - which I can also only recommend. I would have liked the series to be a little longer and to give it a little more time to "breathe", because things do happen quite quickly from time to time.

What an amazing start, The first 5 episodes are amazing, personal and realistic. Then, somehow, they manage to turn it into a stupid fantasy fiction story with an evil kingpin that collects body parts. Why... ? just the normal" drug story was perfect. "

A little too saccharine for my tastes, but pretty good still. It's kind of a fable in terms of tone, and it's really, really heartwarming. Not my cup of tea, well done.
