Critical response

Both Dennis Trillo and Angelika Dela Cruz's performances were praised by critics and audience saying that having accomplished leads in the persona of Trillo and dela Cruz in clean-cut bida roles helps greatly in forging a connection to the story this early. After his recent roles in TV and film had him taking on more maangas, bad boy hero characters, it is a welcome change to see Trillo in a more good guy, older brother role. For [dela Cruz, this is her first opportunity for a long time to play as a heroine instead of an antagonist. And while she may be effective in villainous roles, dela Cruz has shown she is capable of much more. While Biritera may be a harmless family drama, it would be nice to see both Dennis Trillo and Angelika dela Cruz given great material, not to mention a promising and witty young cast. Though a simple premise, the first two weeks have shown Biritera can be a fully satisfying drama with opportunities for depth.[3]

gollark: It is technically possible, but no.

gollark: At this point, books, movies, images and anything else you can put on a computer is (sort of) just an extremely large number.

gollark: Lots of things are just numbers. Some numbers are useful.

gollark: It would be useful if they provided actual real-word TDP numbers, because then laptops maybe wouldn't have quite the same thermal/power issues.

gollark: AMD's CPUs will happily go somewhat over the "TDP" indefinitely, and Intel stuff basically ignores it, especially given that mainboards tend to configure them for "maximum performance regardless of power".
