What Pretend You're My Boyfriend is about

She asks if he is free tomorrow night. He asks what for. She says nothing big, just a formal, just a role, just one evening. He says it is a bad idea. He says yes. That is how Pretend You're My Boyfriend begins. Hallie has told everyone on campus she has a boyfriend. The lie worked fine for months, now the end-of-year formal is coming up and everyone wants to finally meet him. Ethan is her mate, reliable, never a candidate. Which is exactly why she asks him.

The evening goes better than planned. Too well. Her friends are convinced, the photos look real, and on the way home neither of them mentions what happened on the dance floor. Hallie would not need him any more. Still, she finds reasons: a family dinner, a day at the lake, a party where her ex shows up. Episode 2 is called Still Dating, and from then on it gets hard to say who is acting for whom. Ethan plays along and eventually asks the question that gives episode 4 its title: why do you care?

Episode 1 shows you the deal and the formal. You watch two people play a role and hold each other's gaze a little too long while doing it. No grand gestures, just a hand that stays on a back one second longer than it should. The ending of the series is in the title of the final episode, the route there is not. In between lie a race to the water, a row in a car park and the moment Ethan stops playing along. Every character is an adult.
