@kbogesz I think the thing with Adam is that he clearly has issues caused by his father's treatment of him and that gives him the sympathy vote. I myself feel sorry for him, you can see all he wants is to be loved and he gets none of that. He tries so hard and everything always seems to go wrong for him. Deep down that is something we can all relate. Though his immaturity causes him to lash out and the bully appears. Adam is one of the more complex characters within the show.
@s34npj It's obvious that Adam has issues because of his dad, and I'm not bashing him for that. But there are two types of people in this case: those who mimic what they saw/experienced and project it onto others, and those who're trying their best to not be like the person who abused/mistreated/neglected them. For me, Adam is/was in the first group too long (even after he realized he's hurting people), and that's why I don't like him.
@kbogesz yes he does fall into that category and everyone has their opinion to express and people to like. The guy who plays Adam does a great job of portraying him. I think with Rahim there is no back story other than the elements already mentioned he just feels like a character that is only a filler. Technically we know more than the characters do. So Eric should go with Rahim, but Adam was his first sexual experience so I understand the conflict within him. I think there is more to the story than this. (no spoilers I'm only at this episode so far and maybe back to tear Adam a new arsehole yet)

Yaaas, I'm so glad Otis sees Adam as I do! I honestly don't understand why do people support him over Rahim. Rahim was sweet from the first moment and didn't have a single bad word towards Eric (or anyone else). Maybe Eric feels "special"(?) because the bully started to have feelings for him, but I 100% agree with Otis - Eric hid this fact and their sneak-outs because deep down he, too, knows that Adam is not a good person.
And how glad I am that he realized this and chose Rahim!
I saw that coming from Ola when she accidentally leaned a little close to Lily in the previous episode (or 2 episodes ago?). Though the way she handled things with Otis and Lily... eh, really not the best thing to do. Spontaneousness might have its advantages, but in this episode Ola showed us its downsides. Think before you act.
