Hello and welcome to Big Gay Energy.
I'm Caitlin. And I'm Fiora.
Come along with us while we dive into the fun and nuances of
queer media. Representation matters, and
we're. Here to talk about it.
Cheers queers. What's on the big day agenda
today, Fiora? Today we're going to be
discussing one of our favorite series, which is Petra Gore.
Redoing, not redoing, but like doing these notes just brought
back how much I really like this show because.
We'll get into why. We'll go.
We'll go get into it. Absolutely.
OK, so this will not be a scene by scene breakdown.
This is going to be an overview of all the things we loved about
Petrocore and all the things you loved about Petrocore.
So thank you in advance to anybody who answered the call on
our social media about why did you love Petrocore.
We will be reviewing your answers in this episode so we
can share the love for this incredible series.
In addition to that, if you want more Petricore content, we have
select reaction videos to a few key amazing episodes overall on
YouTube. If you want the entirety of the
series of us reacting to Petricore, head over to Patreon.
This is probably one of our best reaction series because
Petricore, if you've seen it, you know.
By the way, if you haven't seen Petricore, do not listen to this
episode. We're going to be spoiling
everything and like, honestly, the show is better the less you
know about it, yes. Seriously, do not ruin this for
yourself. It is a journey and you need to
go on it. You need to be on the journey.
Any knowledge you could be on the journey with us if you want
to watch our reaction videos while you're watching the
series. But yeah, don't listen to this.
Like listen to this after you've seen Patch Core and you know
everything that happens because it will not be as much fun if
you know what happens if you're huge fans of Inglot because I
assume that's why you're here. Also, the water is happening
now, as you probably already aware.
So we will have we will also have reaction videos to the
water. So if you want more Inglot
content and we'll be doing a book club for the water coming
up soon. So check that out do.
It do it. And with that, let's jump into
why do you love Petrocor? Caitlin, you were real excited
to jump into it, so why don't you start us off?
Why did you love Petrocor? Well, I.
I just love that it always kept you guessing.
I mean, you had no idea what was going.
You thought you had an idea of what was going on, but then you
had no idea. And I think the perfect thing
that encapsulates this is the opening of the show in general,
because the opening really hooks you and catches you well, not
catches you off guard. I mean, yeah, it does.
But it sets the tone for the whole show.
And that's like with the big thing that I remember is like
the car exploding. That's just like, oh, no, this
is dangerous. We are in for some dangerous
territory. I yeah, I know it definitely
does set up that this is going to be a procedural drama, which
I love because we don't get many of them with sapphic leads,
first of all. So thank you, Thailand and
Petrichor for giving us an actual like sapphic detective
doctor situation that wasn't queer baiting.
Because like, we have a comment later about a show that was
queerbaiting in America. So thank you for actually making
it gay and a procedural drama because like, we never get that.
So it's unique in that aspect as a series, and that's one of the
things I love about it. It's just, yeah, like the
procedural stuff was very interesting.
And overall I love that they like gave us a lot more.
Like we even got to see autopsies.
That was really cool to get to see.
And like, I would love to know how like they did everything for
that because obviously it's not real organs and stuff, but it
was really cool. Yeah, I just.
Yeah. So that was really cool.
Also like you mentioned, the like opening sequence, I want to
talk about the introduction to Doctor Run because what a baller
move to introduce us to her when she's at a gay wedding.
Yes. So that's another thing, like
another thing with the opening is that they had the
announcement that same sex marriage is now legal.
And I love that they put that in there because it just one it
like dates the show for like when it came out, but like it
also solidifies like what big event that really was and like
it's such a big impact. And then to go to immediately to
a gay wedding or a queer wedding.
I was a gay wedding. It was great.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
But like, wait, a way to introduce the doctor and then
the doctor has to go into the fucking crime scene in her like
bridesmaids outfit or whatever. Which also one of my favorite
moments is just like Tool and run when they meet for the first
time and they very much get off on the wrong foot because the
doctor shows up in the wedding outfit and the Tool's like, is
this a bad time for you to this dead body inconvenience your
life? Like they just start arguing and
it's just I love that they got off on the wrong foot
professionally. It wasn't so weird, contrived
the situation. You have this like the overeager
inspector who's new to her post and then like you have the
Doctor Who's like about to quit. She hates her job and they just
like clash immediately. What a great start to their
relationship. So good.
I love this enemies to lovers type thing going on in the
beginning because. That's so good.
They really weren't giving it to each other.
Doctor Ron needs to keep a change of clothes especially.
Apparently she if she's on call like that.
So you get called to a crime scene, you should really have a
change of clothes just in. Case I guess that's yeah, no, I
that's true. I guess it just speaks to how
like chill it's been there recently.
I guess maybe that she didn't feel the need to do this because
part of their argument tools when they're arguing runs like
listen, bitch, there's like you're a cop.
You're a dime a dozen like you had to wait for me.
If there were more fucking doctors running around, there'd
already be one at this crime scene.
So basically be like power tripping on tools.
Be like, you got to wait for me. I'm the doc, the one and only
doctor. You got to fucking wait for me,
bitch. Like I don't tell you go to Med
school if you wanted a doctor here faster.
Like it was just their their banter was hilarious on that
first exchange. It was so like, good.
Tool rolled her eyes so much during it.
It was great. It was just like, yeah, she was
really getting put in her place, too.
Actually, the bitch grabs her bad.
She's like the audacity of the to touch me, the cop.
It was hilarious. It's so, so good.
But I love that they're like, that shit keeps going for a
while. And when the tool starts to get
a little too comfortable with Doctor Ron and Doctor Ron's,
like, what the fuck is this? And like, she barges into Ron's
office and runs like, bitch, knock.
And then tool goes to the door on the inside and, like, knocks.
Yeah, that was so funny. Can we talk now?
Where's the information? Yeah, but Speaking of that, like
it's really ironic that Tool was the impatient one in the
beginning. Like he was rushing run to like
give her the autopsy report while run was the one telling
her she needed to wait so they can get accurate results and
then it becomes doctor run. Like Doctor Run was literally
like Doctor Run because she kept running into danger without
waiting for the proper people to show up first.
So now who's the inpatient 1? OK.
But like, Tool is the one that, like, kind of starts that a
little bit and then Dr. Ron literally runs.
So like, because like, Tool is like in the first episode, she's
like, great. When she finally gives you the
information, she's like, wonderful, OK, we got to go
catch this person. She takes Doctor Rod with her.
Like, that's the forensic. So like, this is Tool's fault
that she emboldened. Yeah, she doesn't embolden.
And Dr. Ron is the deal. But Doctor Ron, it's all good.
No, go ahead, obviously. But Doctor Run could not and
would not stay in her lane, is the thing.
Like, yeah, she runs off into the amount of time she did
unsanctioned solo missions and almost dies is quite staggering,
first of all. And then the most egregious one
to me is that interrogation scene we're told stupidly brings
her in. And then, like, she grabs Tool's
gun and starts pointing at the witnesses.
Like, I was like, girl, you're the duck.
That was crazy. But like, it made sense.
Like Tool should never have brought her in there.
She was like emotionally compromised because it was
directly dealt with her mother's case.
And like, that was a bad move for everybody.
But like, the way Ron's like no bad.
She like pulls the gun. I was like.
Wild. I mean, it's not even just her
mother's case. She shouldn't have been in that
room at all. But no, yeah, even more so
because she was way too close to it.
That's what I mean. Like that was Tool's fault for
letting her in there. But like, yeah, so like tool
tool kind of like emboldens run a little bit and the run just
goes off the rails and that's like.
She's trying to pull her back and she just doesn't listen.
She's just like, no, because she's like, you have to like
wait for the proper authorities. You have to like stay in your
lane and but like also girl, you're the reason why.
She's doing this. That's what I mean exactly.
So my head cannon is a doctor run secretly wanted to be a cop,
but she ended up becoming a doctor.
And if you think about it, so when she first met Tool, she was
real frosty, right? Because she hates cops.
And the primary reason we get is that, you know, her mother,
never her mother's death, never received true justice.
So she hates cops, doesn't trust them.
She's been working as a forensic Dr. She's seen all the
corruption in the Police Department and, like, lost faith
in it. But I do wonder if there's a
reason she doesn't like tool is that, like, part of run really
yearns to be the one that gets her mother's case justice.
And like, subconsciously, she wishes she was in law
enforcement to do so more on a more direct way than being the
coroner kind of situation. So that's part of the
antagonism. And she's like, if I was in your
position position, I would actually do good, but you guys
just do bad. And like, so there's that
element because once she gets a little foot in the door of being
a cop, she runs with it and starts doing solo missions.
And it's like, girl, you've thought about this before.
She was good an inch and she runs a mile.
She did, but I like the flip side when Run kind of gets back
at Tool a little bit when Tool goes into the episode episode 2
and Tool joins her for an autopsy and like Tool can barely
handle it. She's like, bitch, you're the
cop. And then but like, but Run had
way too much fun during that autopsy because like Tool's
clearly like, whoa, dead bodies and organs and runs.
Like what's wrong with you? Like this was a Tuesday for me.
So that was fun to see them step into each other's worlds.
And Run is way too giddy about being a cop and the Tool's like,
I don't think I can handle those.
Part of it. This is you.
You stay. I will let you stay in your
lane. Run.
You want to run in my lane with me, that's fine.
But I love like even before she gets into the autopsy, she can't
even figure out how to get the bouffant on her head and like
the hair is just still falling in her face.
So Doctor Ron luckily luckily had two Bobby pins in the same
place so she didn't need to. But I guess that's a good way in
case you need an extra 1 right to keep it on you falls.
Out, I guess. Yeah.
No, she's prepared. She's been in this situation
before. Her hair was real short, so she
couldn't, like, put it up. Yeah, yeah, that's cool.
That was hilarious. And a great moment for a gay
staring. There's a lot of moments for a
gay staring. All right, what else?
You got your turn. Can we just, I don't know.
I don't know when we want to get into this, But like, we came up
with something during our reactions that we really, really
thought was going to happen and we were writing this whole fan
fiction about it. And I just think we need to take
a moment to mourn the love story that never happened and never
will, which is Colin and Tim. Yeah, seriously broke my heart
and bombed on my ship. Those two would have been so
cute, running a bakery together, falling in love, doing all the
things and it would have just ended up being GMMTVS new show
Bake Love feeling. Yeah, I'm very, I'm still upset
they never got their happy ending because like Wind comes
in and he's like, oh, I'm trying to run like a bakery empire.
You have a bakery? Help me.
It's like the perfect romcom scenario.
Seriously. And it doesn't, it doesn't play
out. And worse is that Tin kills him
and I'll never be over it and kills him like it's fucked.
It's so sad. Man.
Why would you have to not only? OK, so again, if you haven't
listened, watch the show. Now turn this off and go watch
it. You not only make sweet baby tin
the killer, but you have to stab our hearts too.
I'm making him kill the person we were shipping him with.
I know that's the worst part of it for me, honestly.
Well, what he does is toll. And that like way that like that
that has to, it's not bury your gaze, but like it's, it's
burying my yeah, bury my ship, man.
Yeah, like bomb. No.
So just just know that we, we were rooting for you, 10 and
you, you let us down. You let the world down.
And how does that make you feel? Really let the world down.
Yeah, but the actor that played 10 did such a fucking amazing
job. Like, he was incredible.
And his role as 10? Like he sold it.
He did because that switch that was turned as soon as we know
what was going on. He was creepy and so unsettling
to watch. The thing is though, I don't
know there's. Lots of hints now, like going
back and be watching it be like, but it's very subtle the way
they did the Tin thing. The the one scene where it's
more explicit before you actually get the reveal is when
Tool gets jumped outside the bakery and Tin comes in to like
protect her or whatever. And then, like, in the
aftermath, will they go inside the bakery?
He, like, loses it. And his anger, like, completely
takes over. And he's like, no, I want to
kill them. And, like, like, gets so upset.
And I think it's the first time Tool ever sees him like that.
She's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, like, calm down.
But you see how, like, his anger, once it takes over, like,
he's uncontrollable. And that's like, the first big
hint that, like, he's not OK. And she's not.
She's hasn't, has no idea, which makes the story so
heartbreaking. I think later that night, he
kills somebody. But like, yeah, like, he's like
you. That's the first time we see
that. How unhinged he really is.
But it's very short and like Tool is able to calm him down,
which is insane because like once he like fully taps into
that, not even she can save him. But like it showed that he was
like he was saveable on some level and she was able to get
through to him in that moment. But like, you let that fester
for too long, and sometimes it's too late to, like, do anything,
which is like what ends up happening.
But like, damn, Like, watching that, in hindsight, I was like,
oh, shit, yeah, this was the big clue.
And I totally missed just just how angry he was and how out of
character that was based on the way he presents, you know, to
everybody. Else yeah, he's definitely like
the loving and like just calm headed, level headed.
That was not what was happening and it just shows like people
are always like, well you're really close to them you should
have seen it what's going on. It just shows how like mind
someone very close to him can be because you just write it off
like, oh, it's just a moment, like he's protecting me.
But really, there's something deeper going on and she couldn't
see it because she's too close to him.
He also he masked around her constantly.
Also, she idolized him. He's my Big Brother.
And like again, the way that scene read to me was more like
she's never seen him that angry before.
So it's not that she didn't know.
It's just like she's he never lost control around her is the
thing. That was the first time he lost
control of his emotions like that around her.
And so she sees it and she looks shocked.
She's like, whoa, what is this like?
Like she's just never seen it before.
And it makes sense because when you get all the flashbacks with
them, he was doing, he was like he took care of her, put her to
bed. Then he went out and did
horrible things. Like he never did it in front of
her. Like he very he hit it like he
was very good at hiding it is the thing.
And like humans are smart for better or worse.
So like, just because you're close to something, it doesn't
mean you know them actually, because if they're hiding shit
and they're smart enough, you're never going to fucking find out.
Like, unless they slip up, then that was a slip up for him.
He didn't mean to lose control around her.
He just did. And then when he realized that
he's like, oh, shit, I got to pull this back, like, and he
did. And then she was like, OK, well,
like, it's fine. I'm fine.
Yeah. Yeah, that's true.
And I mean, the one thing that wasn't he wasn't masking was the
love that he did have for her. Like he truly did love his
sister and like wanted to do everything for her.
And I really loved watching their sister brother
relationship. It's just it's what kills me
even more when we find out what happened and obviously what
kills Tool because the person that she's idolized did not turn
out to be who she thought he was.
But just in the beginning when she's literally able to lean on
him after like a rough day at work and she helps him figure
out what recipe to do. Like they just have this good
brother sister dynamic banter that you can tell that they were
always there for each other and that that that's their person.
Like no matter who they end up with, they had each other.
This was all they had was each other, really.
Growing up, they were forced, you know, to rely on each other
to survive. Mostly tool relying on tin.
But then then we had to have like some of the scenes where if
you go back and they did call, they did a call back to the
scene where they were being, yes, the fish.
Where he's like head. Ate another goldfish, blames it
on the. Cat, the poor cat who did
nothing wrong in its life and OK well if you talk to Tool Head,
Head did do one thing wrong that I still think is fucking
hilarious, which is when Head wakes up Tool from the sex
dream. That was hilarious.
She's like God damn it, I was having a good dream Cat.
That was the one crime the cat committed.
That was hilarious. Which clever editing, cuz like
again, you, you never know what the fuck is going on.
The sex dream that like they pick up immediately from the
rain kiss and then like you're like, Oh yeah, they're going for
it. That it's a sex dream, which was
clever editing. That's funny, yeah.
OK, so had you did do one thing you.
Definitely did one thing wrong and it was that.
But you did not eat a fish. And in that scene Tool tells
said that he can't kill for fun and next time she's going to
turn him into spicy stir fried cat meat.
And Tin is in the room too. And I just noticed something
while rewatching. And in the next episode, he
tells Tool, like she's trying to figure out how to tell Doctor
Ron that she likes her and like get in a relationship.
And he tells her to drop some hints to get her to realize it.
And I was like, is that what he was doing with the fish to try
and gauge what how her reaction would be?
Because he's like some like the cat killed the fish.
He didn't say that he killed the fish, but like, was that his way
of dropping a hint? Maybe.
And just like what her reaction would be.
Well, he also at the end got off of the fact that he's like, oh,
I lived with a cop, this mastermind cop who never caught
me. So like could be that he was
just being like, she can't figure it out.
Ha ha, ha, ha, ha, because he got off on that.
Although I do love that whole sequence where he's like, drop
some hints and then you cut to tool and she takes none of his
advice. She's like, I like you and she
just I was like, girl, OK, But also the actual hint, though, I
think that's more like a line for the audience to be like read
between the lines. Because when it came to the cat,
when you first learn about the cat, you learn that tin feeds
the cat, but the cat hates him. The cat won't come near him.
OK, because animals understand danger on a different level than
we do. And then but then and then tool
and they're having this conversation tools like you
don't know, we don't know where she can I think she's a stray
and they're like, well, I don't know what her past was.
Maybe somebody hurt her in the past and like she's afraid of
new people. And then cut to doctor run
coming into the bakery for the very first time, meets the cat,
goes over the cat, pets the cat. And then they have dialogue
that's like, oh, she usually doesn't let strangers pet her
right away, meaning the cat understands that run is not
dangerous, but understands that tin is dangerous.
So I think that's the hint to us to be like, pay attention to the
cat, because the cat is a good judge of character because
immediately she trusts Ron, who she never met before, but
doesn't trust Hin who feeds her food.
I think that's the hint personally, because I was
watching that. I was like, Oh yeah, they're
definitely making there's hints here to be like, he's dangerous.
The cat knows. That's a great point.
Yeah. It's something's very subtle
that you would not like, just be like, Oh yeah, the cat doesn't
like him, right? Men.
Which, yes, men in the show.
I'll get to that later. Anything else about that because
I just I want to go back to something about Ron and Tool.
Go ahead. Excuse me?
OK, OK. One thing I also love is like,
OK, so big thing about Doctor Ron is her big motivation is
that she's tied into the raindrop killer case because the
last victim tired of the unfortunate revival of these
killings is that her mother was the last victim like 19 years
ago when the story starts up. And that was like her dad was
the forensic Dr. She followed in his footsteps.
That's kind of where this this kind of starts.
And then when the killings start happening again, Tool puts it
together that runs mom was the victim because she's like, oh, I
noticed because now this case is on my desk that the last name of
the victim is your father's name and your name.
So I assume this is your mom. And then I love the way that
conversation was handled because Tool kind of lays it out.
She's like, listen, I know she and then she's like put zero
pressure on Ron to talk about it.
She's like, you can talk about it if you want to.
I will never talk about this again if this makes you
uncomfortable because and Tool makes it a point that she's
like, the reason I'm bringing it up now is because I'm actually
worried about you. This has nothing to do with the
case. And then she's basically like,
this seems like this huge burden for you to have to carry.
And I don't want you to have to carry it alone.
Just know that I'm here to help you carry this like emotional
load. And so I like the way she
handles that conversation. For somebody who thinks she's
not good with words, she's actually very good at
communicating. And so I really appreciate the
way they handle that because I easily could have gone off the
rails because like as you can see, like for obvious reasons,
that case and the whole situation really traumatized Ron
understandably and is very triggering even 19 years later.
Like you just see her immediately start getting
triggered. So I like how tool navigated
that and put run first in the conversation and like gave her
an out put no pressure on her. That was a really.
I like the way that was handled by Tool.
Yeah, I like that as well. She yeah, sometimes she's not
great with words, but she's great with feelings.
Like she's great at caring about the people that she loves.
And she does put the people that she loves first, which is why
when like this, this, it felt like such a big knife in her
back when she finds out what's happening with her other loved
ones. But with Doctor Run, they had
just such a great chemistry where they could be there for
each other. Because first of all, they both
now have trauma. They believe they have trauma no
matter what. Because boy, did they both grow.
Yeah, life, life's life is trauma.
Yeah. And so they're just able to be
there for each other and be like, understand that things are
hard to talk about. So like, yeah, she may not want
to talk about that. There's things that Tool might
not want to talk about. And so like, giving her that
space to choose was just a great decision.
Yeah, I I like it too. And then like cuz then tool gets
to the point where she understands where runs that
emotionally in that situation and then promises to find, I
love what she says. She says she promises to find
the truth in the past, which is so cute because she's the one
working on the active case now. But she's like, I'm working on
this, but like, I'm I'm going to get justice for your mom.
Like I'm not going to stop until I get that.
If that's what you want kind of thing.
And it was just, it was really, really cute and sweet.
And I really just love that scene and how tool tool in
particular navigates it. But it's that was a big moment
for the two of them were like, they definitely do have an
understanding when it comes to justice.
And then like the and then how they view the past where like
Ron at one point says like what living people lie all the
fucking time, but dead bodies don't lie.
So I can find the truth in death kind of thing.
And then tool is like, just because it happened in the past
doesn't mean it's not worthy of like correcting or finding
justice for it or whatever. And so like it's a really
interesting take on like the past and like how people view it
and use it kind of situation in the context of this like cop
doctor situation. So I did like that.
It's a good little, good little commentary there.
All right, so sticking with tool and run, one thing I really love
is I love that they chose to have their first kiss while it's
raining because the whole premise of the raindrop killer
is that the raindrop killer kills when it rains, obviously.
And so that's clearly traumatizing for her run because
her mother died during the rain and then she's freaked out by
thunderstorms and things like that.
And then you have as residual trauma and then you have tool
who starts getting freaked out by rain because she starts
associating with death. As she gets more of these cases
at one point, like Tin starts talking about rain.
So they don't fucking talk about rain with me right now, Bitch,
like very early on when she's into this case because like she
starts she starts associating with trauma kind of deal.
So bottom line, rain synonymous with death in this series.
So I love that their first kiss happens when it rains because it
it's like rain equals death, right?
But then they turn it on its head in the scene, essentially.
So like in in the first kiss, it's it's run kissing tool under
the umbrella because tool was like, Hey, let's hide from the
death, Let's hide from the rain. And then when run kisses our
tools like fuck this umbrella and then like starts kissing her
like without the umbrella. So then they're completely in
the rain and that second kiss. And that's the more like intense
1 because like, if you think about it, it's like that's the
start of a new beginning for them.
Because up to that, it's kind of like runs, like, I don't know,
maybe we'll date one day. I have trauma.
I got to deal with the trauma and runs like, and, and once we
got to deal with this case and then tools like, sure.
And then like run starts this. So then tools like, OK, I guess
you're ready for something new. So new beginning, right?
And it's a happy memory to eclipse all the bad ones that
happen with the brain. So I love that because they
because, you know, water also means life, not just death.
So I like that they have that like moment in the rain, which
is like this dangerous thing. So narratively, I thought that
was very poetic to have them kiss in the rain personally.
And like for tool and for tool to be like, fuck it, we're going
to be like in the rain, like we can't be afraid also when like
taking this next step. So like all the symbolism that's
in that of them kissing in the rain specifically that's.
Fair. I I didn't think about all the
things that could be considered when doing the rain, like
kissing in the rain, but that's a really great well, like for.
Them specifically like yeah, kissing in the rain can be it's
like a romantic trope, but like for them specifically in the era
of the raindrop killer being back, like there's a lot more
entwined with the rain than just like.
It's a lot more danger and it's like.
That's what I'm saying, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, so like they're starting a new chapter.
Like Love Conquers Hate is another read on that, simplified
read on that because their love is going to like get them
through it also. So it's also foreshadowing.
There's a lot I list, like the choice.
I thought it was very poetic. Great point.
Can I just say the murder was very fascinating in general.
Like I like the concept that when it rains someone dies.
It's just because it made you become so uneasy when watching
the show if it was raining because you're like, are these
characters OK? Like when watching that kiss as
the audience, you're like, oh that's so cute.
Are they going to die? Is someone dying right now?
Yeah. Yeah, it's someone who's.
Dead right now. Someone's.
Dead. So who is it going to be?
And like no one's safe. Like no one's safe.
No one's safe. No one's safe.
But I just love because you never knew what was going to
happen and I always loved being caught off guard.
Yeah, I also will say back to Doctor Toole and Dr. Radha.
I thought that they were compelling protagonists with
their own baggage, like their relationship.
I like the way the relationship kind of goes.
It felt realistic for the characters, but I like them as
individual characters as well. I thought they were both
independently interesting like doctor tool and not doctor tool
tool. And her back story was really
unfortunate and interesting, like all her family drama, but
also her like why she like she's also like the daughter, a
strange daughter of the corrupt police commander or whatever the
fuck. And like she had all and she's
trying to put so much good out into the world despite all the
bullshit she's been through and is so relentless about it.
And I just love that about her. And then you have doctor run who
also went through insane trauma. I was like on the cusp of ready
to give up. And then like has this chip on
her shoulder because she's like is just as even real.
And like it just it made her very compelling.
And then anytime she would do crazy shit, you're like, I
understand why you're doing crazy shit because you're like,
you're jaded by life. And that makes perfect sense.
And so I just like them as characters.
I thought they were good characters.
And they had their own thing going on.
Like, yeah, their jobs make them intersect, but also like, runs
off. And like when she's in her lab,
she's kind of doing her own thing.
She's her own independent person.
And then, like, tool in the office is that her own
independent person. So I didn't like that about
them. They weren't like this
codependent couple the way they were written.
They were independent people who like, converge over this case
and then like, they get to know each other and like, their
worlds collide because of it and like, their teams start
interacting again and like things like that.
So I just, I liked the way they were written, also as a, as a,
as characters, period. Yeah, along the lines of them
being people and not just being like their love interest.
Love interest. I really like that the show
didn't fully revolve around their love story.
Like, yes, it was there and it was intertwined throughout the
story, but we had so much going on between the other characters
as well and between like the procedural murders that they're
trying to figure out the overarching one.
We had so much to intercut to that their love story gave you a
nice break from the action going on and just being able to like
sit in like, Oh my gosh, they're cute.
And they can have these cute moments even when life is so
crazy. And I think that's just a great
like commentary on life today as well as because like life is so
crazy and you have no idea what's going to happen any day.
But just be in that moment when you're with someone you love and
let everything else fade away because there are times there
are scenes where you're like, how can you even talk about this
right now? Like there's literally you're
trying to solve a murder and you're like, but like, that's
life. Life goes on.
Like that doesn't encompass everything, correct?
So it was just, it was really great to see that balance.
It was a great balance between the two.
And that's also just a personal taste of mine because I like
other things going on in. Shows as well, Yeah.
No, I agree with you. I think narratively the two, the
plot, plot, which was the procedural drama of it and then
the romance were balanced. That's what I like about it.
Nothing, nothing overshadowed the other.
Like I thought they struck a very good balance in the series
with the way it was paced and written.
And I agree. Then you got to have run, not
just run and tool, but you have you also had like tools team and
then like like June and May also got to be like the reprieve from
the life or death drama we're trapped in with this procedural
stuff. So like the care is, it was like
you're saying that the moments with the characters where they
were just like living life and choosing love was more special
because like, the tone is so dark sometimes in the show
because of the nature of the story they're telling, right?
So yeah, it felt more satisfying to have those moments because
like, they were the reprieve from the life or death.
Heightened situations were in a lot of the time.
So they struck a good balance. The balance was there and it was
beautiful. Thank you, Patrick Gore.
It was great. Good job.
Patrick Gore really, really loved it.
What I didn't love and but another theme of this was that
this show was a cautionary tale of how impressionable young men
are red pilled. OK, do you know what red pill
the red Pilling means with men? Have you ever heard that term?
Before I have not. All right, well, it derives from
the Matrix, but we won't get into that.
Like choose the red pill or the blue pill, the truth or keep
living in the the fantasy that is the Matrix.
And so it's essentially this like, basically it's how men are
like kind of like, I don't know, how do I describe this?
They are, I guess, recruited and indoctrinated into like extreme
right wing, not ideology, ideology, which is very like
hyper masculinity and toxic masculinity and how men need to
dominate the world. And you're unhappy because of
women, not because of anything you did, not because anything
men and did, even though men run the world, it's because of
women. And it's a way to mobilize men
into like being submissive essentially in the patriarchy to
other men. That's basically what it is.
That's why we're having all these issues right now in the
world where like hetero, sorry, heterosexual women, I don't know
if you're listening to this, but like, I'm so sorry for what
you're going through right now because like the veil is being
lifted of all the shit that they're doing.
And like, that's why like they're heterosexual women are
having or like I'm not dating any of these men because they're
just, they don't even see me as a person.
So it's that kind of shit. So like, that's Tin, right?
Tin was red pilled real hard. So because when you go back to
it and you get his back story, like what was he doing?
He was angry at immoral women so he starts killing them.
But like why was he mad? When you go back to it like
their whole family drama starts when their horrible father is
like I'm leaving you my legal wife and family or I don't even
know if they're legally married. Maybe they were just like, I'm
in law married or just like relationship married.
And then he left them. He was the he was the sole
earner of money in that household.
He leaves them for somebody else so that he can get a promotion
at work because they're holding him back.
OK, that leaves mom to take care of two kids.
Mom has no job, probably no education because dad was the
one with that because patriarchy.
He was the he was the she just depended on him.
She had the kids. She fulfilled her duty as the
wife, which is what red pill men say they want.
So then he leaves and then she's so desperate to provide for her
two kids that she went into sex work, which is work, by the way.
And also like that's all she had.
She's like, I don't have any skills, I don't have degrees.
I have my body. That's it.
So I'll sell this to who? I'm sorry, who keeps those
businesses running? Men.
Men who can't get women, men who will pay money for women's
bodies anyway. So then what happens?
The son witnesses this and then internalizes that Mom is the
reason we're all suffering. Therefore, I must kill all sex
workers because they're evil. Like, I'm sorry, but like,
here's the deal. So like, again, that's red pill
etiology. It's not I'm sorry.
Again, why are why are sex workers in business men?
It's not the men paying the sex worker, OK?
Because then he saw mom having sex with some strange man, OK?
It's not the man that did it. It's mom's fault, OK?
He blames the women OK And like to be fair to Tin in that
situation and the way he was red pilled is that he it was a kid
and he felt powerless as a kid. OK, which makes sense.
So then he projected that feeling of him being hurt into
actually hurting and then killing those that were more
powerless than him, which were small animals.
That's where he starts. And then women and that's how
men get red pilled. That's why we live in such a
violent fucking world. OK, so this was a cautionary
tale about like the dangers of men that get red pilled.
Honestly, that's my modern take on that's that whole thing.
And I drove me insane because it's so crazy.
You're like, it's your dad's fault.
You're all in the situation. He he chose to leave you.
And Tin never blames his dad. He blames Mom, the one who stuck
around to try and help him. Which is crazy.
Yeah, that that is, that is crazy because you would think
that the person because like the first sign that like he was hurt
was the dad leaving, but that didn't trigger it.
No, it's always the women. And that that's a very common
narrative, like with single moms, like the kids get mad at
mom when they're upset. It's like, where's Dad?
Who left you? Who who actually caused the
situation? The person that's not here?
And then Dad gets idolized as this mythical figure and it's
like he left you. He chose.
He's just like, you guys are bad for my reputation.
I'm leaving. We don't get mad at that.
It's not the man. It's never the men.
'S no because it's like, what did she do to make him leave?
Because it has to be something that she did.
It couldn't be just him being terrible and wanting to leave.
Yep. And he's like, oh, we're
struggling as a family because you're a sex worker.
It's like he's she's a. Sex worker, you're actually
surviving. She's the reason you're
surviving. Yeah, exactly.
And she, she sold her body for you.
And then, like, no, Musk kills. Yeah.
So Tin got red pilled. And that's like, this is the
danger of, like these unhinged men who don't see women as
people. But then, like, you see that,
like with Tin, it starts just expanding into just.
He thinks he's better than everybody else in the world.
And I think that's what made him killing Win so significant was
that like, Win was a man, Win was a big, like bigger than Tin.
He had more muscle than him and Tin killed him.
And that was like the ultimate. Like Tin thinks he's a God now.
He's unstoppable. He can kill anybody he wants.
Now. It's not just those that are
powerless because he's, again, start with people who are
beneath you. You can overpower.
He's now going after everybody. So it's just like that's when he
really lost his humanity and chose to put it aside, really
it. And he becomes not empathetic
anymore because like, again, you could be like, oh, he was a
little kid. He didn't understand what was
going on. He felt hurt.
So we start this is him acting out in a horrific way.
But like you see that he's kind of a sociopath.
Like, you know, he's, he took it too.
Far. Not even that.
Like when you get to the very end with when he sees to Wolf
the last time and she's crying in front of him and, and he's
like, oh, you finally made your mark.
You finally caught the raindrop killer.
You're finally famous basically. Like you're famous because of
me. You're famous because of me.
His ego's so huge. And she starts crying and she's
saying, I would give it all up right now if I could have my Big
Brother back, the one who loved me.
And she breaks down and he just laughs and then sits there
emotionless. When she leaves and he hangs up
first, you see that he's kind of a sociopath, but he doesn't have
empathy towards people, period. Because he used to have empathy
towards his sister, right? And then just gone, like he
chose to completely light his humanity on fire for his ego to
just be this powerful God of death kind of thing.
I think that's how he sees himself.
It's like that break, that break allowed, like in killing.
So like when the Raindrop quote raindrop killer was in jail, we
suit. He had his empathy, like he was
being there for his sister. But like once he got back into
killing, it's like a switch was flipped on him and he I don't
even know what happened. Like I guess just something was
triggered in him and he was just like, no, I this is who I am
now. He he chose it because he, he
took pleasure in it is the thing.
It's it started off as this like I'm going to hurt you as a way
for me to feel better, like kill all the sex workers because I'm
upset. But then he started taking
pleasure in it was the thing. He was like, oh, I actually get
off on this and I get off on being a bubble.
It became about his ego, not this like empathetic thing where
he's like, you can be like, OK, I understand how you got here.
I don't agree with you at all, but I understand how your brain
got you here and emotionally how you got here.
Then he just started doing it for fun.
That's when he chose to again, that's what I'm saying.
He chose to put his immunity aside.
He's like, I'm just going to do this for fun.
That's it. It's not about tool anymore.
It's not about our our vengeance against Mom.
And he just, he just enjoyed it. Pleasure.
Yeah, he enjoyed it. Like he has a sociopath.
He's not. He's like, no, actually I'm into
this. Like and he just embraced that
and that was it. And that's when our hearts.
Broke like again, great job. Actor that played 10 did a
fucking amazing ass job. He did ass 10.
He was so good, so good, so creepy.
I you know what I might even say like he was the best actor in.
That I think he was the best actor.
Everyone did great, but he was just given he.
Was the best actor. To play with because he really
made you believe every single step that his character was in.
Yeah, he did a great job. They all did a good job.
I I enjoyed all the characters on the show.
Some characters we didn't talk about too much that I also love.
This is like one of my last points, or my last point, which
is Tool's team. I loved Tool's team Foo and and
you. They were fucking amazing.
First of all, who is the only good man in the whole series?
Fuck every single man. Oh, actually Run's dad was good,
but like. Everybody.
Else. Except, yeah, Foo and Run's dad.
They were the only good man. Everybody else.
However. Trash.
We didn't get enough, we did not get enough of him to like
totally tell if he was good or bad, but we're gonna go with
that. He was good because.
We thought he was good. Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, yeah, I love him. First of all, I loved it.
They were dynamic in the office was lovely.
And then I love that Poo in particular was so goofy and like
anytime there's one scene in particular that I really love,
but I love when he's just doing random shit in the background.
Like he's just like the actor is just like doing his own thing
while like Jew and tool are talking and he's just like fucks
off and like has ADHD and he's just like doing other shit.
There's one scene in episode 1 that I love the most where
they're giving Jew dating advice because she's trying to win
Maybach and Tool and they're all talking and then Tool and Jew
start talking and like, who tunes them out?
And then you watch them in the background.
He's putting like hair clips in his hair.
It's so funny. Like they're clearly there for
Jew and he's just like putting them quietly.
He, he doesn't say anything. You don't, he doesn't draw
attention to himself. He's just doing random shit in
the background. So he was really funny.
Like anytime he was just like 8 having an ADHD moment and he's
like, I'm just going to do this. I'm not listening to you guys.
I wonder if he was told to do that or if he just had like,
stuff around. He's like, you know what, that's
what I'm going to do. He was really good at just like
subtly doing things. Right.
He kept himself busy in the background, which was really I
didn't draw attention to himself.
He's just really funny. Also like I think it was just
like he was just doing whatever because then also he's got a
gaming chair in the office for we never got.
He's got a gaming chair. We don't talk about it.
It's just there. Like he was a funny character.
I did a drive. Yeah, it's like not established
he's a gamer or anything. It's just there's, we don't.
It's just he just, he was like, he was this random little Comic
Relief that was like in the background just doing whatever.
Yeah, but like you said, it doesn't overpower.
It's not like, you know, he's the Comic Relief.
Yeah, Yeah. So I liked him, I liked their
team and then June and May. I did also like their little
because they actually had a back story and we actually had scenes
where school and run we're talking about Jew and May, which
never happens in a Thai girl of drama.
In the Thai girl of drama, the side characters are always
talking about the main characters and worrying over
their relationship. In this show, you had the the
reverse where like doctor Rudd and tool are talking about Jew
and May and they're like, are they going to finally figure
their shit out? Like they're I was like, yes, we
equality because like it's established that may and run
have been friends for a long time.
Like they met when they were going through their forensics
degrees together and like started working together and
then Jew and and poo and tool are like a team or whatever.
And then so like June and May are the ones that kind of like
have this long standing connection because they used to
date and then weren't dating. But then I was like, I want to
win her back. And so I love their subtle
little relationship in the background because it gave like,
again, a nice like, rest moment from the drama where you had
them trying to like court each other.
Well, like Jew trying to court me and be like, I don't know,
I'm too hot. I have to say no to you.
And it's like, girl, look at her first of all that.
Hawaiian. I love when she brings.
Her food, that was cute. She brings her the kanji from
her favorite place that's nowhere near the the precinct
and like Mae knows it. But you did it anyway.
But then you get real drama when like the raindrop killer goes
after Jew by accident because they're doing the whatever the
swap dilly and then like Jew gets taken and then Mae's like,
oh, she was supposed to be here. And then it like actually
heightened stuff because then you have another like love
interest. I liked them as a side couple.
I thought they were good. I wish there's more of them, but
I always say that about everything.
But I liked them. I like their relationship and
the fact that they weren't trying to be Ron and Tool
because Ron and Tool just met for the first time but they had
the back story. Like they had like history
together kind of thing. Yeah.
So I like that. Yeah, I like them.
I I loved all of them. They were all everybody was such
a great character and like their own people.
No, I hated the men. I could have done without most
of the men. Like, well, no, not the men, not
I meant. Like the?
The group, not all the character, the the two teams,
not the men. I like the teams.
Yeah, I could read the teams, the the other men we won't even
talk about because they're just so no, I'm.
Not talking about them. Fuck runs dad.
He was off. He got off too easy by the end.
I think Tin should have killed him honestly.
Like that was if there was any justice in the world to end the
cycle of fuck shit he should have died.
Narratively, he's the reason we're all here, he's the reason
there is a raindrop killer and nothing happened to him.
And then he was able to keep being the raindrop.
Killer right he he covered up his own son's murder like he was
the worst character I would art I would say he's the catalyst
for all of it he let it. He never took responsibility he
let it go never let his son take responsibility.
He was awful like this is again a cautionary tale of like
patriarchy where men empower other men to be awful,
particularly when it's to women. He only started intervening when
he's like you're for killing people who keep me in power.
That's when we have a problem. Like it was just drive me nuts
because like this shit happens in real life.
Like go see the Epstein files like this shit happens in real
life for these powerful men protect each other even when
horrible shit is happening like because they don't see women as
people and so it's just really gross.
So then it took women, sapphic women plus poo to take them off
plus poo sapphic women plus poo. The alternate title of the show.
Also. I love, love, love the title of
the show. Also Petrocore, because
Petrocore is like the smell after rain and it's a scent that
human beings disproportionately compared to other animals can
smell because it's believed that evolutionarily speaking, it was
a way for human beings to find water sources like freshwater to
keep them alive. So it's like, again, it's like
life after death in this show after rain.
So I like again, the poeticness of the name Petrocore.
It was very perfect. It was a great title for the the
series. It also taught me what petrocore
meant. See, it's educational, too.
Going back really quickly about when you said like Tin lost his
like humanity in a way, like just empathy.
He gave also, I would argue he. Gave it up.
Didn't lose but like. Also, he became like he thought
he was better than everyone else.
It's a story that guy also enjoyed watching is when we had
the copycat killer. And so like he was like
idolizing him and did everything just like him except slightly
different. So they knew it wasn't actually
the raindrop killer. But I think that also gave him
the feeling of oh wow, I'm so good that someone wants to be me
and just escalated that even more and.
Yeah, but then he was also like, he'll never be me, bitch.
Like I'm better than you. Yeah, because yeah, he's just
his ego. But it was a great storyline.
I enjoyed it. All right.
That was all I got. Anything else for why you love
Petrichor? Just that it's also rewatchable
too, like, because again, there's so much that you miss.
Like I'm sure if we rewatch it again, we'd be like, Oh my God,
that happened. Yeah.
So if you if we missed something, which we definitely
did, leave it in the comments like a moment that you when did
you know who the killer was? Did you even know?
Don't out the killer in the comments.
In case people have never seen a Patrick or though, please don't
do that. Yeah, don't do that so subtly.
Yeah, OK. Well.
OK, so big energy moment from OK, big energy moment from
Patricora tool sex dream is. Probably that's what I.
Was doing with the cat just like God damn it waking me up during
the sex dream because tool was really into the sex dream.
If you watch the sex dream, not a ball.
Tool not being subtle at all and just saying I love you.
That was also really cute. Yeah.
Like, I like you. Yeah.
I should drop some hints. The hint is that I like you.
I see you as more than a colleague.
Everyone's like, what the fuck? She's so funny.
OK. Taylor Swift song Bad blood.
Because baby and I wake up bad blood.
That's like Tool's whole fucking family has bad blood.
I came up with no body, no crime.
Because it was just too long ago.
Yeah. No, that's good.
This is probably the only Thai girl loves yours.
Like you can use nobody. No crime.
Although I wish it was nobody No crime where it's women getting
away with killing horrible men. But it was the other way around.
It's men getting away with killing innocent women and some
horrible rich men, which I'm not mad about.
The men that died, that deserved it.
Who cares? Yeah, my personal opinion.

Going on, yes, all right. And with that, let's get into
our listener comments. All right, so we'll start first
with Patreon. So starting us off is Zori M,
who writes I love crime dramas and the fact that I was in
suspense for the entirety of the show.
Agreed. I especially love the plot
twisted so well. And who was the killer?
Bonus points to the chemistry between Ingfa and Charlotte.
Yeah, Zori, I think we are on the same page.
I know Zori is a huge advocate for us watching Petricor.

You. Thank you.
Sorry. We do appreciate it.
Our next comment is from Daniela P and they said I think the show
does chemistry and romance very well paced.
It felt as a girl of the most natural with more nuance.
The crime, the clues, the dialogue, the storytelling was
very compelling and felt complete and well-rounded until
the end. Yeah.
It was. It was great.
Yeah. No, no, again, it was balanced.
Yeah, like it was very well balanced.
We love that about it also. All right, last but certainly
not least from Pet from Petrogore.
If you were in Petrogore, that'd be wild.
From Patreon is White CAT112, who writes.
I quite like the procedural shows, and this one did a pretty
good job keeping you guessing pretty good.
I also really like that the protagonists are spending most
of the time fighting problems outside of their relationship.
Yeah. Yeah.
Agreed. And then White Cat writes PSI,
like rain a little less now. dot dot, dot dot.
Yeah, no, right. Rain is now scary, but just go
back to the first kiss because that'll make you feel like
there's hope in the rain. Yeah, all right.
I love you. What you cat?
Heading over to TikTok we have Teresa Rami 49 and they said
because it pulls you in. But Ingfa and Charlotte are
amazing in this series. I have watched it multiple times
so good. It's just it is re watchable.
You can watch it as many times and it just doesn't get old.
Yeah, yeah, it definitely doesn't.
The performances are also good that, like, even when, you know,
the plot was, it's still good. All right.
Next up, we have Dylan Hoffman, who kept it short and sweet and
says one of the best girl love shows I've watched.
Those are facts you're saying? Yep.
Next comments from Count Me Out 11.
Not to date myself, but it helped.
No, but it healed something in me that Rizzoli and Isles left
RAW and other Western crime drama simply could not.
Fix this is what I'm saying. This was the queer bait show was
Rizzoli and Isles for those that remember.
I never watched it. I know it through gift sets on
Tumblr, and it was like a sapphic show that could have
been but wasn't. So I get it.
We finally, finally got a procedural crime drama where
they're actually explicitly gay. So thank you, Petricor.
Because queer baiting is real and it harms people.
All right, next, we're moving over to YouTube, and we have
From Little Booth 7629, who writes The reason they love
Petricor is serial Killer. Yeah.
Because we don't get a lot of crime dramas with that are
queer. Exactly.
Yeah, Next is from Mooned 1522. The show made me fall even more
for Charlotte. Her acting shows a lot of
growth. Her performance is just insane
for the show. I really became her fan since
then. Yeah, she did a great job as
officer Run balancing being this like logical Dr. and just
unhinged and it was great. Also, you got a little bit of
goofiness with Doctor Ron sometimes, which I'm it's going
to be great in the in the water. She's got to be goofier, so it's
going to be lovely. Oh, I can't.
It's so good. It's so good.
All right, next we'll move over to Instagram where we have
curious under score shenanigans. Who writes.
It was such a different show compared to all the girl loves
at the time. Plus, I love Inglot, They were
one of my first couples for me, you know, same.
They were also one of my first like Thai girl love couples and
I thought I liked this show better because I like Then there
are previous series I think You Show Me love.
I can't remember the title. They were great at it.
Don't get me wrong, I loved I loved them.
I didn't love the rest of it. I love that it was based on a
true story, which is really cool, but I preferred them in
Petrobrot. First of all, they were more
adults and like just messy, weird adults.
And that's always going to be my personal preference.
And they got to do a lot more range of stuff in this series
with like action sequences especially, Oh my God, Ingfa and
the action sequences when she was like doing her cop thing,
hydrate for all of that, she did a.
Great. Oh yes.
Ma'am, Doc, even Ron gets in there and starts doing action
sequences. So they both got to do a lot of
different acting. So it was really, it was really
nice to see that. Agreed.
Next. The next comment is from Kim
Chelena in Petricor. The love story came secondary to
the actual story they were telling.
The crime in solving them was the point, and the fact the main
couple happened to fall for each other was a bonus.
Seriously. The drive of Inglot shown shown.
Yeah, shown in this series. To see what they can do when
given an exceptional script and directors was amazing.
Their dedication to their craft was abundantly obvious and I
couldn't be more proud of them. They did a series like no one
has done before and I absolutely loved it.
I still go back and watch it every couple months.
I love that. I love that too.
All right, now we're going to wrap this up by going to
Twitter, who is very excited about this.
So first we're starting with who's this and they write where
to start? I love the thriller vibe at
Aesthetic. I didn't know the show would go
to such dark places. It took me by surprise.
That combined with the incredible cast, fucking
perfect. And then they wrote episode 7.
I wish I could watch it again for the first time.
The heartbreak of episode 7. I know that's I wish I could
watch that again. I do not.
I never want to watch I believe it's episode 8 ever again.
Yeah, the back story of 10. Too much back story.
All right, next comment is from Lies.
Ava Petrichor breaks the mold of typical rosy Thai series and
immerses us in a thriller full of suspense, drama and events
that could very well be happening in real life.
For me, the scenes are so realistic they send chills down
my spine. Oh, nice description Doctor Wren
Doctor Wren and police officer tool Excellent portrayed by
Charlotte and Ingva, draw us into an intricate an emotional
journey that becomes addictive, keeping us glued to the screen,
constantly seeking more until it's explosive and surprising.
Conclusion 10 out of 10. You've written reviews before,
haven't you? Yeah, I know.
That sounds like something you'd get on my grommeless.
Like great job, all right All About Girl Love has a four point
list about what they love about Petra Gore.
And number one, it was original as the plot wasn't only about
the romance. Yes, on board with you Caitlin
#2 the direction was really good.
You could tell how much details were put into the
cinematography. Yes, it was beautiful. 3 Infa
and Charlotte gave amazing performances.
I love that the romance was first light and fun, then more
meaningful. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was. It was.
They were the reprieve from the drama, so we got to revel in
cuteness. And it was for a purpose, not
the plot. And four favorite scene is
really hard to choose. But I will say the confrontation
between Tool and Run after the revelation, I cried.
Oh, God. Yeah, No, that was rough Run.
Oh, my God, we were talking about that run, girl.
Like, let did not let this girl did not let tool fully process
the fact that her brother's a fucking.
And like, her whole life just went up in flames.
And like, that happened to run when her mother died.
But like, girl, you had 19 years to process that tool.
You gave her less than 19 minutes.
And we're like, all right, go shoot him.
And she's like, what? I still like he's my brother.
What's real? Yeah, that was that was really
hard to watch. I agree with you.
I think I didn't include it because I blocked it out of my
memory because it hurts so much. Yeah, yeah, all.
Right next is from Phoenix hugged by Inglot.
Very different from other girl love series.
It's a thriller. There's an investigation going
on and the main idea is to figure out who the serial killer
is. The main characters end up
falling in love. Brilliant script, brilliant
acting. I smiled, I cried, I loved every
second of it. I definitely had all the things,
all the things, all right. Next up, we have Nat on Twitter
who writes Petrichor really hits differently.
The storyline is tender but intense, the characters feel
incredibly real, and the slow burn between tool and run is
everything. Their chemistry lingers long
after each scene. Quiet, emotional, unforgettable.
I love the cinematography, the vibe, the plot twist.
You're right, girl. I'm just going to call you girl.
A masterpiece from episode 1 to 10.
Yeah, that Honestly, if you can sum up this episode, it's that
comment. Thank you, Nat.
Yeah, but seriously, that plot twist, like it's everything.
Oh, OK. Next is from Rika.
I really love this kind of genre, and to have two of my
favorite people is just a bonus. I love a lot of scenes in the
series, including the scene in the interrogation room with Ron
Tool and we suit and also. Run close to the gun on it.
That was crazy. That was a wild.
Scene and also the comfort confrontation of tool and run
after discovery of who the killer.
Is Yikes. That hurt so bad.
Yeah. No one else is here for sex.
That's what You can't love it. Come on.
That was a great scene. And then the cat wakes her up.
That's the best. I'm going to keep bringing up
that light, fluffy scene because you guys keep bringing up real
dramatic ones. They were great scenes.
I'm not saying they're not OK Then we have Topaz, who writes.
I love the entire series. It was different and it really
showed the different side of Charlotte.
Yeah, she will steal your gun and point at it.
If her character is supposed to do that, it's different.
It is different. It's different.
All right, last comments from Max 4 Sky.
The perfect blend of everything. Mystery, suspense, crime,
fast-paced and thrilling events, an investigation by a detective
and a doctor tool run, all with a touch of romance that will
make your heart flutter. That also sounds like a review.
You'd see how you like Rotten Tomatoes.

reviews and giving us your favorite scenes and everything.
It really helped add to the conversation about what there is
to love about Petrichor the series, which is a lot because
it was a really great show overall.
