Queen B’s Decree: Love Goes Viral had a cute beginning. Love goes viral after a video of her dancing at her high school graduation, and she is immediately flown to LA to capitalize on her fame by becoming a social media star. She meets Austin while on tour…when she literally falls into his arms. My hopes were so high.
Austin is seriously one of the sweetest characters, almost too sweet. He gets walked all over and used by Love. Love, who pretends to date him (while still in a relationship with the other social media star) just to rejuvenate her image. It just…gave me the ick.
While she does grand gesture him towards the end, it felt like too little too late, and I was missing the genuine apology that felt less like a spectacle. Overall, a story with promise but didn’t quite hit the mark.
