Synopsis
Rakista features a behind-the-scenes look at the on-campus and off-campus adventures of a struggling newly formed rock band named The Love Team. Its soundtrack is rock music-intensive, showcasing compositions from many Filipino bands. The story starts when Caloy (Carlo Aquino) practices his guitar and his brother, also a musician but a frustrated one, but no longer following his dream and told Caloy to do what his heart follows but make priorities first.
Critical reception
Rakista TV Series has been lauded uniquely "Pinoy" style and for its "twisted sense of humor that has never been present in [Philippine] television." Critics have attributed as among the show's influences, Joss Whedon, John Hughes films, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, and the Michael Winterbottom film 9 Songs.
