Pit Babe Season 2

Pit Babe Season 2 — Bigger Doesn't Always Mean Better

One of the biggest challenges any successful series faces is knowing when to stop. Pit Babe ended its first season with enough momentum to make a sequel exciting, but after finishing Season 2, I couldn't shake the feeling that the story had already reached its emotional peak the year before. The second season isn't bad by any means. It simply feels less focused, less surprising, and ultimately less memorable than what came before.

The biggest difference is that the sense of discovery has disappeared. In Season 1, everything felt new. The racing world, the supernatural abilities, the relationships, and the rules of this universe were all being introduced for the first time. Season 2 no longer has that advantage. Instead of building on those foundations with greater emotional depth, it mostly expands the mythology by adding more conflicts, more conspiracies, and more characters. Unfortunately, bigger doesn't automatically mean more engaging.

The story remains entertaining, but it often feels as though it's trying too hard to raise the stakes. New twists arrive one after another, yet very few of them carry the same emotional weight as the central conflicts of the first season. Rather than allowing existing relationships to evolve naturally, the script frequently creates fresh obstacles simply to keep the plot moving. At times, it feels more like the writers are extending the universe than telling a story that genuinely needed another chapter.

Thankfully, the cast once again carries much of the drama.

Pavel Naret remains the undeniable centre of the series. His confidence, charisma, and emotional control make Babe one of the strongest protagonists in recent Thai BL, and he once again demonstrates why he's become one of the industry's most reliable leading actors. Pooh Krittin has also grown noticeably since the first season. Having already proven himself opposite Pavel, he now performs with far greater confidence, and their chemistry feels even more natural than before. They're no longer actors trying to convince the audience they're a couple—they simply behave like one.

The supporting cast continues to be one of the franchise's greatest strengths. Characters introduced in the first season are given more opportunities to shine, and the world feels richer because of it. At the same time, the larger cast also creates one of the season's biggest weaknesses. With so many storylines competing for attention, several emotional moments don't receive enough time to fully develop before the narrative moves on to the next conflict.

Visually, very little has changed—and that's a compliment. The racing scenes remain dynamic, the cinematography is polished, and the production still looks more expensive than many BL dramas. Change2561 clearly understands the identity of the franchise, and the technical quality remains consistently high throughout the season.

One criticism from my first review still applies here. Despite now having two full seasons to explore the concept, the series continues to keep its Omegaverse elements surprisingly restrained. The Alpha hierarchy and special abilities remain important, but the biological and social dynamics that define the genre are still largely absent. After twenty-plus episodes across both seasons, I was hoping the writers would dive much deeper into that aspect of the universe. Instead, Omegaverse remains more of a flavour than the foundation of the story.

Final Thought

Pit Babe Season 2 is still an enjoyable BL with excellent production values, a strong cast, and one of Thailand's best-established pairings in Pavel and Pooh. However, it never recaptures the freshness and excitement of the original season. The larger world, bigger stakes, and more complicated storylines can't quite replace the emotional impact of discovering these characters for the first time. It's a worthy continuation, but for me, the first season remains the stronger chapter of the story.

Willy was the best character this season!

I must say I was so confused as to why there would be a s2 when i think s1 ended well but i enjoyed it immediately thanks to willy... in my opinion he made this season so fun and he was the only reason why i kept watching (besides alan and jeff), so once he started to get less and less screen time in the last episodes i couldn't help but feel sad even if it was understandable.

I think Charlie getting amnesia was not necessary at all but i'm glad we were able to have a happy ending (bonus points for the wedding and how everyone and their mother was gay LMFAO).
Production definitely got soooo much better compared to s1 so i think thats also why i was able to enjoy it more.
It was entertaining regardless of everything else!

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.

Started off so strong then fell off

Season two was definitely better than season one in a lot of ways. The season started off really strong with its writing and plot. The first nine episodes were actually pretty good. The episodes felt like the writers had a sense for where they wanted the show to go...then episode ten came. Once the show got to the double digits, it's like they forgot how to write all over again. They tried to fit way too much into the finale and just didn't give characters what they should've.

KimKenta were the best thing about this season BY FAR and I think they did them so dirty with how little screentime they got together and not ending up together. Justice for them. I need another show with their actors together immediately.
Chris was the next best thing about this season. He had one of the most interesting storylines and had me curious the whole time. I liked his relationship with Pete as well.
Third best thing was Willy. I loved his character so much and man is the hottest person on this show. I was very happy with the introduction of his character in this season.
I did like Jeff and Alan's relationship for the most part too, though they both annoyed me a couple times. Overall, I think they have one of the healthiest relationships in the show and am really happy they got married in the end.
They completely ruined Sonic and Norths characters and relationships for me this season. They both annoyed me and their getting together was so unsatisfying and boring. That kiss too...I know we didn't wait all this time for a bad kiss like that.
Finally for Charlie and Babe...oof. I've never liked Babe and this season further proved that. I liked Charlie last season, but they ruined his character for me this season too. This season made me hate their relationship more than I already did and I didn't think that was possible. Babe just sucks. Period. Charlie just seemed to be so different from season one. Their relationship is so toxic, I need them to break up.

All this being said, I love this show. It's stupid, bad, and super cringe in a lot of moments, but it's so fun to watch. The spice is fantastic. The actors all have great chemistry together, so even if you hate their pairing, it's enjoyable to watch. Like I said for season one, you just can't take this show too seriously and you'll have fun.

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.

great

I was okay with this season. it was a great way to continue pitbabe story Even though I thought babe was going to cheat on Charlie it didn't happen even though that's what I wanted to happen and I love to break up scene that make me love breakup scene even more in bls. and I love the way the first episode started out that made me hooked even more. My only problem is I wish BL's with cutting scenes if that's not going to be a boxset where we could watch the deleted scenes or cut scenes. that was my only issue with the series other than that it was great I would rewatch it over and over like the person I will watch over and over The actors are great in this series no complain about the acting

This felt like lukewarm leftovers...

I've spent a lot of time trying to comprehend just how season 1 could've gone so well and how season 2 could have gone so terribly? The magic of season 1 is completely lost in season 2. The grit and fun of season 1 is missing in all aspects; maybe Way took those with him into the afterlife?

I truly only kept watching this season for one reason only, for Kim / Kenta and wowwww what a mistake that was. I could've just powered up ao3 and found a fix it fic to fill the VOID in my heart.

I feel bad for the cast and crew who spent so much time on this, because I'm sorry it was literally bordering the utter garbage category in my honest opinion. It was like eating lukewarm leftovers, it looked and tasted nothing like it did the first time.

I enjoyed it

I'm a simple person, as long as I have fun and in invested in a story then that makes a good movie or series for me.

I enjoyed season 2 alot. There was alot going on plot wise and the tension remained high throughout. However some characters definitely disappointed me and it was from bad writing.

Charlie, Jeff, Dean, Kenta and Kim were solid for me.

The Babe from season 1 would have beaten Willy the minute he got all up in his face. Yeah you can say Charlie made him a better person but for all the shit Willy was doing or saying Babe would have never entertained it. Added to the fact that Willy assaulted him and has been a perv from day one and that wasnt addressed. However I'm glad he went his own way. In addition the fact that Babe didnt say sorry once and was gaslighting Charlie into making it seem like his fault for being at the lab was wack. Atleast we should have had the first epi be drama free so we could see how Chralies lab work affects him spending time with Babe.

Alan pissed me off. They really said we are going to make you the biggest hypocrite. The same thing he got mad at Jeff for he did it ten fold. Lied, made a deal with Tony and stole Charlies blood. And the team going oh dont be mad at him he'll do anything to save his boys. What he did was extremely dumb and the biggest catalyst for shit going wrong. He went back on every advice he gave and betrayed Babe and Jeff the most and that was brushed over.

I never cared for Way so neither did I care for Chris and Pete. I only watched their dialogue wasnt even interested in their sex scenes. Their screentime should have been given to Kentakim. The whole concept of Pete being with the twin of his ex situationship is interesting but they themselves werent.

Also didnt care for NorthSonic. That could have been resolved ages ago. The drag out was unnecessary.

Winner is just.... pathetic and useless and I wished they beat his ass.

Kentakim were great the development felt natural wish there was more.

Jeff and Alan were cute, was never too interested in their couple to be honest.

Loved CharlieBabe ofcourse. Wish we got more of them being happy and seeing their routine without the drama. Charlie had every right to be pissed because he voiced how he felt about Willy and his insecurities to Babe and he lied and practically threw it in his face. But it was nice to see how much Babe cared for Charlie which was the opposite in season 1. We saw a desperate, not so cool Babe chasing his bf and I liked that we chipped away at that rough cool exterior.

Also liked jealous possessive Charlie who is always standing on business and the most we saw him smile was when he lost his memories which is quiet telling of how everything with the lab, Tony, Willy, Babe etc was weighing on him. That also could have been explored more.

Dean got a good redemption arc and I hated him in season 1 and was calling him my little baby in season 2 so you know they did great work there. But Dean in a coma and Winner was just okay????

Also I love that whole Papa Mama thing. But to each their own. I dont find it cringing at all.

Acting was great. Paval carried. He put in all that work. Pooh was good too. His eyes just get me every time when it comes to displaying emotion. Going from cutey to daddy is his speciality.

We could have gotten one more episode to wrap things up. They crammed alot into the last episode. Even the thing with the key. Chris was snooping in Ways house and found the box so he didnt think oh wait maybe thats what the key opens??? Slopping writing there.

The Tony plot was interesting and I'm glad i noticed the marks on his neck that was later explained to be his power. Dont have any complaints character wise cause he stayed through to his character in the first season.

Graphics for the powers were well done. Some of the time manipulation scenes were a bit wonky but overall good.

The racing scenes were top notch. They really stepped it up and I loved it. The set for the races was great. The sets overall and those houses were gorgeous.

They could have done a much better job of separating the wedding from the story and just cast memories. Cause obviously ppl were there that we know werent supposed to. They could have edited them out then end the series and added the rest of the cast to the wedding scene as a goodbye from the cast.

But all in all I liked it alot. Would I rewatch? No. Too much pain and too little happiness. I just wish we had more chilled moments with the entire team bonding. However I looked forward to seeing the ships again. Pitbabe was overall really good and was a fresh idea.

Idk anymore

I usually enjoy almost every kind of series — even the cringiest ones. I always try to find something good and justify the weird parts just to enjoy the ride. But with this one? I genuinely feel like I could’ve written a better script myself.
The entire season made no sense. Nothing connected. And by the last episode, I found myself doing something I *never* do: speeding it up at 2x speed and even skipping scenes. I hate leaving shows unfinished, so I forced myself to see it through. But honestly, the only reason I even made it to the end was Kenta and Kim — and guess what? We didn’t even get proper closure for them. Kim just goes off to Korea and Kenta’s left hanging. “You can always reach out”? That’s it? That’s the big payoff?
We barely got any real development with North and Sonic. Pete and Chris had way too many unnecessary NC scenes, but at least they got *some* kind of closure — even if Chris catching the bouquet made absolutely no sense. And sweet, innocent Alan? They completely ruined him. As much as I hated it, even Jeff catching the bouquet would've made more sense.
And don’t even get me started on the wedding. Why was *everyone* from *The Boy’s Journey* cast even there? Tony literally just died — why was Winner there? Willy showing up would've made way more sense narratively. And then they just left Winner standing there alone after asking where Dean was? After *everything* he did?
I only stuck around because I genuinely liked the first season and was really excited for this one — but it ended up being a major letdown.
Also, I’m beyond tired of the whole “mama/papa” dynamic. They’re two men — calling one “mama” is just straight-up misgendering. Even in an omegaverse setting, unless one of them is explicitly trans, it should’ve been something like “dad” and “papa,” or at least masculine-coded parental terms. The way they kept calling each other “mama” and “papa” made me want to throw a vase on them. It was painful to sit through.
And KentaKim? They had *so* much potential — more than any other couple, honestly — and they got maybe 10 minutes of screen time across 13 episodes. No confession. No proper moments. Nothing.
They even ruined Alan and Jeff for me. I could probably write a whole essay just on that.
I won’t give a low rate to the series because I respect the cast and the effort they put in. But this series is a textbook example of why *not* every show needs a second season or a special episode. Sometimes, it’s better to let fans live in their delulu dream where everyone lived happily ever after.
Honestly, the list keeps growing: Together With Me 2, I Promised You the Moon (at least that one made sense as a story about growing up), Jack & Joker’s special, and now PIT BABE 2… just stop.
Second seasons like this are seriously ruining the main series for me.

P.S. Kenta going full action hero, shooting everyone to save Kim and then kissing him? Absolutely iconic. (We’re just going to pretend that editing disaster didn’t happen — like how Kim got shot and then magically… wasn’t? Yeah, let’s not talk about it.)

New Romances, Strong Performances, and a Season Worth Watching

I liked the second season a little less than the first, but it was still very good and well done.
I love the character of Pooh and I loved this jealous side of him that we didn't see in the first season.

This season we see a new character played spectacularly by Milk. Willy's expression and laugh are wonderful and perfect for the character in this story. In addition, we see new romances and stories that finally come to fruition, as well as stories that, in my opinion, could have been avoided, at least in this season.

Obviously, my comments are all about the series and not the book, as I haven't read it.

However, I recommend it.
