Review: Could Have Been Wonderful
Rating: 2 out of 5

Derrick, celibate and not feeling for ten years, was a wonderful character finally recognizing his need to fall in love.  His tenuous steps at doing this as well as gaining knowledge about gay sex were heart-rendering.  Yes, there is a lot of descriptive gay sex in the Impulse.  This was OK with me.  What resulted in having me give a two star rating to Impulse rather than a four or five star rating was Gavin's imbecilic relationship with his ex Lukas.  His naiveté and his incapacity to let a relationship dissipate despite the conniving of Lukas was especially dispiriting.  I quit at the 90% point, so disappointed with the character, Gav, I expected to honor.  I expect that the final outcome was positive for Darrick & Gav.  But I became maddened at Gav to finish it for me.
