According to Entertainment Weekly, 2025 is in search of its next internet heartthrob. While past years have seen Nicholas Galitzine and Harris Dickinson steal the spotlight, it is time for a fresh face to take centre stage—Kyle Allen. He is captivating audiences as Bradley Ackerman in Netflix’s The Life List.
Playing a dedicated lawyer, he guides Alex (Sofia Carson) through her late mother’s “life list,”
which, unsurprisingly, includes the quest for true love.
Despite its soaring popularity on Netflix, The Life List
has sparked debate, with some viewers arguing that it prioritizes aesthetics over depth, leaving its storytelling feeling somewhat superficial.
The Life List lacks depth but still entertains
Netflix’s The Life List
centres on Alex Rose (Sofia Carson), who must check off childhood aspirations to claim her inheritance. While the film leans into sentimentality without much depth, it still entertains. The emotional stakes are set early when Alex’s mother (Connie Britton) shares devastating news, yet the scene feels oddly unconvincing. Despite this initial shortcoming, the story unfolds into an uplifting narrative of personal growth and reconnection, ultimately offering a heartfelt viewing experience that resonates beyond its surface-level approach.
