My roommates and I were obsessed with TiMER in college, mostly because we all had a crush on Mikey, and I've never met another person who has seen it. But I agree with everything you wrote about it--the ending is so disappointing and it's hard to tell what the lesson is supposed to be. Also, I saw your tweet about Black Mirror and the premise "Hang the DJ" episode is very similar to TiMER, but with a much more interesting ending/message!
Hard agree--that show was pulpy trash (that I totally kept watching). Kind of like "Cruel Summer," where the dialogue is horrific, the premise ridiculous, and much of the acting cringe-inducing (and yet, and yet...I do not look away--what is it about us Bachelor people?!)

I can't believe other people watched TiMER!! I watched in college too and really wasn't a fan and this nailed why!
Thank you!! So glad I'm not alone in this.

Love this philosophical take
