Too. Many. Characters.

It was not great to me, and did not live up to the hype. I loved the first season, like really loved. I think I've watched it 7 or 8 times. And I am a big fan of the cast, of all of them, so I was really looking forward to this season. I waited until it was over to watch so I could get the full, immersive experience, I really wanted to like it more than I did. They probably shouldn't have done a 2nd season, but since the first season was so popular I can understand wanting to capitalize on that. But honestly this ruined a lot of the characters for me. The rest of this review is my opinions of the characters and how the series portrayed them.

There were just WAYYYYY too many characters, no one's story felt complete, I was so let down by the storylines of the side couples and characters. If they were going to have that big of a cast and make so many couples they needed to do a 24 episode season.

Apparently I had STRONG feelings about this series, I realized as I was writing how much I actually didn't like it. So be warned, there is probably unpopular opinions coming up.

I KNOW IT'S BASED ON A BOOK AND THERE WILL BE LIMITATIONS ON WHAT A SERIES ADAPTATION CAN CHANGE. I HAVE NOT READ THE 2ND BOOK. THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS ON HOW THE CHARACTERS WERE PORTRAYED IN THE SERIES ADAPTATION.

Pete trauma screwing his unrequited dead loves twin was weird, it would have been less weird if they had more screen time to grow their own story and develop a relationship. Though they do good NC scenes, it kind of felt like that's all the relationship was there for. I did like Chris though, his motivations were clear and he had no connections to these people so I wasn't expecting anything of him and I wasn't annoyed or offended at his actions like some of the characters were. Once he caught feelings (and got caught at Way's place) he was honest with Pete about his background and purpose. His conversation with the other 2 lab workers about disappointing someone was very cute, you could see character growth. And I'm glad he stood up to Pete about not being a stand in for Way and leaving so Pete could figure himself out. I just wish we got to see it.

Alan going bad guy because he's older than his boyfriend and wants to be stronger was also weird. I can kind of understand the trying to save Kenta and Dean and going to Tony on his own, but the please give me special alpha powers was unnecessary and a big let down for me. It felt like he was saying powers are the answer to everything when he knows how much Jeff and others have suffered with powers. Jeff, well he was just kind of there, like the first season he's Charlie's confidant, but other than that he's not much of a presence in this season, too many characters and not enough time. Though him and Dean were funny together, and I am glad they redeemed Dean.

And speaking of Tony, immortal special alpha powers. Like why? He was a great villain in season 1, and I know we're already in the realm of powers, but giving him this overpowered ability to bring him back seems lazy. They could have created a new villain, someone taking over his empire, or something. And making Winner his main assistant/henchman, why? He was such a wimp and he showed that in season 1, it doesn't make sense that Tony would pick him. The end when he's running away from Kim and company was very funny, though I can't believe they let him go.

Willy as a villain didn't make sense, and yes he was forced into it blah blah, but if he has the power to freeze time why did they need to go the seduction and almost SA route? Wasn't that done enough in season 1 with Way? Bad storyline. Just no. And once again if he had more screen time maybe he could have been a complete character. But nope. Bad guy does bad things, gets caught, helps good guys, the end. He needed depth and we needed to see his redemption.

And Charlie. He was the worst. In the first season he did everything without telling Babe because everything was for Babe, he loves Babe, must protect Babe at all costs. Then he gets mad at Babe when Babe goes to try and pretend seduce Willy without telling him. Like the nerve! He pretended to die and almost ruined Babe!!!  I don't think what Babe did was right, but what right does Charlie have to be so pissed? And this season he continues to play the hero martyr by breaking up with Babe and moving out, then quitting the team, because he's worried Tony will hurt everyone around him to get him. This man had no character growth. How is he still repeating the same patterns when he has seen how much they hurt the person he loves more than his own life? I understand the desire to create the power nullifying drug, but wasn't he an editor? Why does he need to practically live at the lab, what does he even do there other than get constantly injected and monitored? When Babe was crying at the garage saying Charlie loved him more when he was chasing him it was so sad, and so true! But Charlie does everything for Babe including sacrificing his relationship with the man all for Babe's own good, and are we supposed to be ok with that because he just loves Babe so much? Other than Babe's failed pretend seduction I actually liked him a lot. He passed the broody never love anyone phase and is trying to own his love for Charlie and have a great life with him. If only Charlie would cooperate. On the Charlie and Babe storyline the amnesia was unnecessary with the way they did it here. Maybe if we had seen their interactions more and Charlie re-falling in love with Babe it would have been fine, but it was so rushed and glossed over that it felt like it didn't add anything to the series.

I'm glad we got North and Sonic together finally, but they needed more air time, we needed to see them being a couple. Sonic came back, they danced around eachother, Sonic got frustrated, they're both insecure, then boom they're together, the series is wrapping up and Sonic leaves to go finish school. There was no payoff to their buildup, and no I am not talking about NC scenes, so once again it felt like they were being coupled just because they could.

Lastly, Kim and Kenta. They deserved more. I do actually understand and respect Kim's decision to leave and not ask Kenta to go to Korea, and Kenta's decision to live for himself finally. That was probably what I understood most about their relationship. We barely saw them together and then bam Kim likes Kenta. How and when did that even happen? I like the actors as a pair but it came out of nowhere and was put in just for the sake of pairing up the actors, at least that's what it felt like. Maybe if they had more screen time before the confession it would have been more believable for me. Then after that it's all Kim loves Kenta who loves Pete who loves deaf Way and is trauma screwing dead Way's twin Chris who caught feelings for Pete in return. Kenta gets captured still only contacts Pete when he's undercover, and then it feels like he basically imprints on Kim because Kim keeps coming to his rescue, is the only one showing up for him. That's why I liked how they ended, it wouldn't have been believable if they were all of a sudden a couple. Or maybe it would have if we had seen more of their relationship growth before Kenta was captured. If we had gotten any context about their relationship, anything that would show them growing closer other than Kim consoling Kenta over Pete and rescuing him from fights I would have been all in on KimKenta, but there just wasn't enough. I do hope they get their own series, ASAP, as the leads. They deserve it.

Once again, no I haven't read the 2nd book, and now I really have no interest to, so I don't know how closely the series followed the source material. If they were following it maybe they shouldn't have. It would have been better to be a sequel seperate from the book. Inspired by the book, based on characters from the book, but done with the production team's own writing, I think that could have been better. If they already weren't following the source material closely then I don't know what they were doing.

Level Down!

Everyone changed and not for the better. What was previously an entertaining series turned into a snorefest of stupidity. S2 was very flawed with very little entertainment and a healthy dash of cringe. Every single time Papa and Mama were said, I vascillated between rolling my eyes or watching on mute.

After 1 yr:
Alan, who would have been open with everyone and never hurt anyone, decides to go to Tony for help. Tony, who had robbed him of Way. Yes, that Tony. He showed how frail mentally he was when faced with aging and how human. Becoming Tony's victim and puppet was just sad really. Why try to become invincible? Jeff lost his reclusiveness but became bold and boring. Being with Uncle Alan turned him into Uncle Jeff.

Babe, Babe, Babe. He became stupid and more reckless. By all means, follow the perp to the bathhouse, whom he suspects has powers, but he doesn't know what it is. I'm not sure if I wanted Charlie to save his butt. Literally. Charlie decides to take away Jeff's powers without thinking of the consequences. Stupid. So he has his, Babe's, and Jeff's which caused a system overload and memory loss. Only at the end, would this prove to be an asset on meeting Tony. The question to ask here, why wasn't this thought of before?

Kenta was caught, escaped and allowed them to recapture him again. Let's put that down to all the hits he probably took in his head while working under Tony. Kim was sitting around being a babysitter for an entire season. Save that drift in the car to save Kenta. He was like a comma in a sentence. Just there.

North was more direct with his bestie in S1 but suddenly shy in S2. Sonic wants the relationship but wants North to do the asking. Hmmmm, why? They were open to each other in S1 with no secrets.

Way was interesting. Chris is not. The most interesting thing he did was sit on Pete. When compared to S1 CharlieBabe and AlanJeff, it was a meh kinda moment.
Pete, well, what can be said. He had a "deep" love for Way by keeping a "shrine" for him. Chris steps into the picture. Suddenly, Way became just someone he knew. Loyalty flew out the window the second his nose flew wide open. Very wide. The many times Pete's house was entered by anyone who chose, uninvited and unannounced, and caught before or after the act, well, it did not have the wow factor the writers had hoped.

Two people stayed true to character. Winner remained a weak lackey, and Tony returned as a losing villain. He had all that money and all that power and couldn't do anything that could change outcomes. He should have stayed dead. He rejuvenated to create poor schemes that backfired and remained on the losing end. One would think that capturing Babe from the first episode to lure Charlie would have made better viewing.

I loved the character of Willy. He was the only reason to reach episode 12, but in true stupid fashion, as this was the S2 common thread, it was wasted. He could have done better. He had guile, intrigue, and charm. He could have snapped those fingers in episode 1 and saved us at least 9 episodes of chronic stupidity by all.

The writing depreciated greatly in this season. Save to addition of Willy, the script was dull and repetitious. None of the characters has layers to peal back like Way did. Other than the engines revving, everyone just stood around and chatted. At this rate, they should not think of continuing with another season unless the acting and script get a major overhaul. Though it was great to see them all together again, it was not worth it in the end.

Copious amounts of coffee will be needed if watching.

Second Time Around

For me, this second season delivered a more engaging experience compared to the first. While it retained the super melodramatic flair and high-octane action scenes that defined the series, it also leaned more confidently into its emotional core. The love scenes still brought that signature raw passion that fans have come to expect. The plot remains a bit chaotic, darting in multiple directions, but I found the twists and turns far more compelling this time around, even if some story arcs felt rushed or underdeveloped. Visually, the show continues to impress with its production values and cinematography. I also noticed an improvement in the acting. I especially liked the characters of Willy and Kenta and the chemistry between Alan and Jeff. That said, I do think the season could’ve trimmed a few episodes. Some storylines dragged a little, and tightening the narrative might’ve made the series feel even sharper. Overall, I was entertained. 4 out of 5 stars.

STORY

Was Pitbabe series 2 worth watching NO. Whoever wrote the script for this second series said lets do the direct opposite of what all the fans want. It wasn't a patch on Pitbabe one. It was a complete turnaround and it sucked. It was as if the directors and the scripwriters had lost their memory and just
made a complete hash of series 2. It turned into experimenting with drugs with names like the skill erasing drug...What's that got to do with motor racing.. It was laughable.. as for the bare chests and the kissing which to me was overkill The whole series was pointless. So
a big disappointment. The cast has only followed what's give them. Only my opinion.

Worst than season 1

Season 1 was nice and different to all other storylines I have seen before. There were a few meh moments here and there but nothing too bad. Season 2? Was very excited and thats what ruined it. I expected the storyline to progress, stay different and unique, give us the same emotions but with more intensity. Not only did the storyline get super messy, but it became unwatchable. It felt like i was forcing myself to go through each episode. The cast was the same as before, which i liked, but the plot was really going from bad to worst, at many moments i found myself closing my eyes from how bad and toxic it was.

You can be mad all you want, but I have my right to write a review.
This isn't even Science Fiction anymore, it's just Thailand. What a horror of a series
How can you rate episodes that weren't on the air out of 10?How can you rate episodes that weren't on the air out of 10?How can you rate episodes that weren't on the air out of 10
A script with many holes and implausible.
The actors are unconvincing, as if they are rookies.
The series seems SF of romance, love...no trace or voice.
This: Mom/Dad is gross
I wouldn't go any further, because the others will attack me.

This 2nd Season was Doomed to Fail

Like what I said in the headline, this whole season was doomed to fail.

They started out very strong in the first few episodes, yes, but from the very beginning this whole thing was not going to be successful. Problems started for them when the author decided to remove the omegaverse from the 2nd book, which angered so many fans, since that was the whole plot of the first book.

The reaction from the fans basically led the whole production into a scramble. When the director said that they will keep the omegaverse plot, a lot of fans became optimistic, and they continued to be optimistic until around episode 5, when everything became a mess.

By the time Episode 12 came out, all hope was lost.

Let's just say the only thing worth watching in this series is the acting, since none of the actors slacked off, they played the parts given to them nicely.

I also liked the fact that they changed NorthSonic's ending, and made them become endgame, since they parted ways in the novel. And I liked that they changed Charlie's amnesia from permanent to temporary. these are the things that ruined the novel for me, other than the removal of the omegaverse.

If you wanna watch it, watch it, because a lot of the episodes are entertaining. But don't expect too much, specially towards the ending.

A letdown sequel ...Just awful

By the middle of the season, I was struggling to get through the episodes and started watching it on 1.25 speed in hopes that it would just get to the point quicker.

In the end, it was clear that there was really not much point to this.

In the Pit Babe universe, anything is possible. And Season 2 is proof that sequels are here to drag things out unnecessarily. The romance between Babe and Charlie goes downhill too. Their relationship is plagued by immature misunderstandings and the spicy scenes from the first season (which had some logic to it at that time) seem far more forced. Alan and Jeff also have a fairly bland relationship peppered with lame conflicts.

The only couple I actually looked forward to was Kim and Kenta, a pair that turned out to be unexpectedly cute in the sequel. But that was not enough to sustain an entire sequel, sorry.

I wish I could say that Pit Babe has bucked the trend of sh*tty sequels, but yeah, this was really not it.

Not really worth watching

The first season of this series was so unique and interesting that I was really excited for this season. I remember counting down days on the calender until the first ep aired. But to say I was disappointed would be a severe understatement. The stark contrast between the personalities of the characters in season 1 and season 2 was an eyesore. The only thing that kept me watching until the last ep were the actors. The script writing was really poor for this season and if not for the actors and their hardwork, I would have stopped watching long ago. Some parts of the plot seemed completely unnecessary and they trimmed off a lot of scenes. Even some scenes that were showed in the trailer. Honestly, I would recommend ppl to only watch the first season. Re-watch value is very low for me. Season 2 was a massive letdown.
