ReelPulse review
Is it worth watching?
Affinity stands out from formulaic romance shorts by using genetics, obsession, and bodily fate as part of the central mystery.
- A genuinely unusual sci-fi romance premise
- Two strong lead roles
- Shorter episodes without vertical-drama pacing
Know before watching: Its obsessive-romance setup and references to antisocial behavior may not work for viewers who prefer lighter relationships.
