7 Reasons Why “The Road Trip” is Addictive
We can’t get enough of “The Road Trip” on Paramount+! Here are 7 reasons why this new series has us completely hooked.
If you’re a fan of summer romance or just love a good chick flick, then “The Road Trip” is the perfect show for you. Adapted from a novel by bestselling author Beth O’Leary, who also wrote “The Flatshare,” this series follows Addie and her sister Deb on a road trip to a friend’s wedding in Spain. Things get interesting when they have to give a ride to Addie’s ex Dylan, his best friend Marcus, and a complete stranger named Rodney. With nowhere to hide but a campervan, the group must confront their past and deal with secrets and revelations along the way.
This emotionally complex romantic comedy explores themes of rediscovering romance, confronting the past, and finding healing in unexpected places. Can the right person come into your life at the wrong time? Is there a future in revisiting a past love? These are the questions that keep us coming back for more.
As we watch the first episode with Paramount+ and a glass of rosé in hand, here are seven thoughts that crossed our minds:
1. We’re craving a holiday in Spain. The show has us dreaming of cruising down the Spanish coast with a warm breeze in our hair. It’s the perfect escape for a summer rom com experience.
2. Deb’s advice to “be selfish for once” is something we all need to hear. Sometimes, it’s okay to put yourself first and set boundaries – cheers to that!
3. Honest female friendships are the best. Being able to be brutally honest with your friends, even when it’s tough, is a sign of true love and trust.
4. Seeing an ex can be both terrifying and exciting. The tension between Addie and Dylan in the minivan is palpable, and it’s a mix of awkwardness and allure.
5. Posh boys aren’t always the best. Marcus’s privileged behavior is a reminder that sometimes appearances can be deceiving.
6. It’s hot girl summer! Addie’s determination to enjoy her summer despite the challenges is inspiring – a mantra to remember when life gets messy.
7. We can’t wait for the next episode. The cliffhangers and unresolved tensions between the characters have us eagerly anticipating what will happen next. With all episodes available on Paramount+, we’re in for a summer of love and drama.
So, grab your popcorn and get ready to binge-watch “The Road Trip” for a captivating and heartwarming story that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
