There is good low budget and bad low budget series. Country Boy is one recent example of good low budget. This is not bad, but not great either. The whole thing needed some better editing and maybe even a rewrite of some of the story.

The PREMISE of this story was good, a guy drops out of college due to him and his ex, (and maybe money issues?). He has returned to college after some period of time. So he is a couple years older than the rest of the students. Cool idea, and it does happen sometimes in real life. However, the story itself somehow was confusing, and chopped up.

The couple for the majority of the series didn't even basically talk to each other, and they weren't dating. It wasn't until the 12th episode (which seem to be added later on?) that things actually happened for the main leads. Usually when people say "the couple had no chemistry" I disagree. But in this case I do think that there wasn't much there. The main actors did an OK job in general, but either because the story didn't have the actors be a couple, or just because the actors weren't compatible, there just isn't much of anything to indicate they were in love.

This may sound superficial, and this is a good time to bring this up with the age difference plot. The main lead Nut looked much older than he needed to during a majority of the series. He apparently didn't have makeup or a hair stylist throughout the series? For the finale, he looks like a totally different actor, and more appropriate age for this series. He is good looking in the last episode and looks more like his MDL profile picture. I don't know why they made him seem older and frumpier (can guys be frumpy?) throughout the story, maybe it was budget?

There were some funny and touching parts to the story with the side couple. But again, that story was all over the place, then they disappeared for a good portion of the last episodes only to reappear in the finale for a couple short scenes. They even added a new couple in the last few minutes of the series, I get why they added that teacher/student couple last minute, Nut was supposed to reflect about his relationship when he overheard them , but the whole scene with the teacher was a bit weird bordering on assault. The ex-boyfriend plot ended in a weird way. Again, more story or editing issues here.

Like many of these type of series, it is filler material to watch while waiting for a better series. But it is totally forgettable, and will not be one of those that you watch again, nor does it need a second season.
