'Eternally Confused and Eager for Love' Twitter review: Jim Sarbh's voice stands out

The male characters in Indian movies and series are often flamboyant and outgoing. There are those who perform heroic tasks, beat up the baddies or joke around with their friends. In the love stories, it does not take much time or effort for them to woo the girl.

Introvert characters have largely been sidelined, and love stories about such characters have been even rarer. The latest English language series, Eternally Confused and Eager for Love was not just about an introvert, but also depicted such a person's longing for love. 

The trailer of the series had created buzz a month ago. The series finally hit Netflix on Friday. Here's what netizens have to say about the show:

Eternally Confused and Eager for Love Twitter review

Many netizens binge-watched the series as soon as it was released on Netflix in the afternoon. The reactions seemed mixed. 

One netizen, who binged watched it, said that it was a 'bit of a stretch', which she felt was understandable. However, she enjoyed watching the show, and also gave a shoutout to the lead, Vihaan Samat, who plays the protagonist Ray, and Ankur Rathee and called them 'great' actors. 

Another Twitter user described the series about Ray's 'misadventures and indecisions' in an attempt to understand if he wanted sex, love, or a relationship. The netizen shared that it was a 'bit boring', and that he gave up after the first two episodes.

One was reminded of Shame Wizard from the series Big Mouth.

However, it was Jim Sarbh who was the most mentioned among the Twitter reactions. The Padmaavat star has lent his voice for the series as Ray's conscience Whiz, who taunts the protagonist and also advices him to approach women.

Netizens used terms like 'excellent' for his performance. One called his character as the perfect 'devil's advocate.' A person termed his voice as the 'best character', and that Jim Sarbh was an 'absolute gem.' 

In a rare instance, Rahul Bose plays the father of a youngster, and Suchitra Pillai enacts the part of a mother after enacting such roles in serials. Their performance too earned a mention.

The title seemed to relate to many as well.
