About
You’ll like Paddleton if you want a simple, real-feeling buddy friendship with dry humor and big emotions that leave you quietly wrecked; Not for you if you dislike slow, understated drama or if you prefer something lighter and less heartbreaking than 50/50 or Blue Jay.
Pros: emotional friendship; subtle humor; heartfelt performances | Cons: sometimes slow; can feel bland
