Pit Babe Season 2: Uncut

Strong beginning, flat over most the time and ridicilous story...

First let me say, I liked the second season more than the first season, even if the story did sometimes not make sense. Most of the actors improved a lot and especially the newcomer "Milk" was really great in his role.

The story arc of "Alan" was a bit of a WTF moment. And the biggest minus was the pacing. There was a lot of lost time with incosequential story but not enough focus on the other couples. NorthSonic should have started much much earlier and KimKenta should have much more dialogue and not just some kisses in the finale.

So was it bad? Not really. I don't really like the script, but I like most of the acting. While "Pooh" is a nice "boy", he will never be a great actor as sofar I see it. The rest of the cast were good or even very good. Alan felt not like Alan because of his story. Don't know what the script-writers thought, but it does not work for me. The races were as lame as in the first season - I have more fun watching Formula 1. But of course the finale left some things to be desired. It was all rushed in the last two episodes and before it was partly boring and the characters "run in circles" and nothing really happenend. While Charlie is nearly dead he wakes up some time later, but we don't know when, because they cut that out completely. It's one year later and because he drives he remembers every thing... OMG, what a cliché and a point of lazy writing! And they get paid for this!

I'm not a fan of the Omegaverse and to call themselves Mama and Papa still feels cringe - and why did Mama not get pregnant, they could do that too!. The script was the mess I expected it to be (because I never had much hope for that), but overall it was an ok series compared to every other crap series Thailand produced in the last two years. So it's not good, it's above average because of the acting and the cinematography, but it's not bad either even when the script is the worst part of this show.

Mixed Reviews? Just watch it.

Im going to give my opinion on the complaints i see, whilst trying to remain unbiased because Pit babe (1+2) are easily in my top 10.

1. "There wasn't enough recap from the first season, I was confused!"
That’s entirely on you. I know my memory’s trash too, so you know what I did when season two dropped? I rewatched season one. Simple as that. You can’t fault a show for not spoon-feeding you a 30-minute recap just because you didn’t bother catching up.

It’s just common sense if a sequel comes out years after the original, whether it’s a series or a movie, you go back and refresh your memory. That’s your job as a viewer. Expecting the story to pause and re-explain everything just because you forgot is wild.

2. "Where are the authorities?"
Our main antagonist isn’t just some random thug he’s a very well-connected billionaire (or at least extremely wealthy) with ties to businessmen, politicians, and all sorts of shady elites. He’s also full of pride and ego. Involving the police would risk exposing himself and be an admission that he couldn’t handle things on his own that he had to rely on “low-level pawns” to do the dirty work for him. That’s not his style.

And from the protagonists’ side, calling the cops would be pretty much useless. With the kind of power Tony holds, the second law enforcement got involved, he’d be tipped off instantly. The whole thing would backfire, fast. In short: the cops aren’t missing they’re just irrelevant in a world where money, influence, and abilities speak louder.

3. "How the hell is Tony back? Lazy screenwriting."
(Skip this part if you're avoiding spoilers.)
People keep acting like this came out of nowhere, but it’s literally been explained since season one—this whole series is built around people with special abilities. That’s not a new thing. Tony’s ability is that he can bring himself back to life if he swallows his own blood at the time of death. It’s not some random plot twist; it’s tied directly to the rules of the world they’ve set up.

The downside? His body still needs time to recover and he has to be closely monitored after. He’s not some untouchable immortal, and the show doesn’t treat him like one. It’s not lazy writing it's actually one of the more consistent things in the story. We were given clear answers to the what, how, and why. Just because you missed it, doesn’t mean the writing failed.

4. "The acting was terrible."
This one’s super subjective. Personally, I thought the acting was solid line delivery, emotion, all of it felt on point. There were plenty of scenes where you could clearly see what the characters were feeling or thinking without them having to say a word. That’s real acting. It’s not just about speaking lines it’s about expressing, embodying, feeling the role. And in Pit Babe 2, I felt that.

To me, “bad acting” is when someone’s just reciting words with no depth, no connection to the character or the emotion behind it. I never got that vibe here. If anything, it felt like the cast really got their roles and committed to them.


5. "The plot was bad/not present."
(Heavy spoilers, read after watching.)

This is hands down the worst opinion I’ve seen in the reviews.

We’re continuing from season one where Tony was running a human trafficking facility for superhuman babies. That was the whole climax, and in the end, his plan was exposed and he was presumed dead. Season two picks up from that exact mess, and people are acting like the plot disappeared?

The main crew is trying to make sure something like that never happens again. That’s where the serum comes in. They’re developing one that can remove special abilities. The point is to protect people who don’t want their powers or can’t control them. Jeff is a great example of this. His ability is unstable and dangerously strong. If he doesn’t get rid of it, it could seriously hurt him or others.

Then conflict hits fast. With Kim leaving, the team is weaker. They try to patch that by bringing in North as a new racer. That’s already a big shift in dynamics, but then enters Willy. New racer, new energy, and he's openly interested in P’Babe. For the first time ever, Babe comes in second place, which throws everything off. The team feels it. Babe feels it. It rattles him hard and starts pulling at his relationship with Charlie.

Charlie, on the other hand, is stressed and pouring everything into the serum. He’s not trying to be distant on purpose—he just wants them to be safe. He wants a future where Babe isn’t hunted or used for his ability, ever again. So he temporarily steps away from racing to finish the serum, but that only creates more space between him and Babe.

Then Dean returns. That alone brings more tension. He’s promoted to racer to help support the team while Charlie’s away, but let’s be honest, Dean’s presence always comes with drama.

And just when they’re trying to hold it together, guess who comes back? Tony. Not in the loud, obvious way people expected, but silently through Willy. Tony’s no longer chasing the boys himself. He’s watching from the shadows, playing the long game. His new goal is creating a serum that gives special abilities. Imagine how much money that could bring in—selling powers to the highest bidder, especially in military or elite circles.

So while the team is trying to eliminate the danger of abilities, Tony’s building the exact opposite. And while that’s happening, Babe’s shaken confidence, Charlie’s distance, Dean’s reappearance, and the team reshuffling all add more layers to the actual plot.

There was a plot. And not just a basic one. It was detailed, emotional, and connected all the way back to season one. Pit Babe is the only Thai BL series that’s even touched this kind of storyline. Calling it unoriginal, bad, non-existent, or lazy just because it isn’t your cup of tea is just a lazy and shallow take.

(Its like saying Vanilla ice cream is terrible just because you don't like it, its not disgusting it's just not something you enjoy.)


Now on the complaints i expect to see.

1. "Alan was hellbent on protecting everyone, why is he so selfish now?"

At first, it didn’t make sense to me either. Alan has always been the caretaker the rock of the team. He’s the oldest, the boss, the mentor. Everyone leans on him. But season two reveals his old spinal injury from racing hasn't healed and it’s come back and worsened. His condition is chronic, affecting his nerves and mobility, its not just old age and something he can get rid of. He can’t race, he can’t pushd his body like he used to, he cant properly protect the team. Altogether it shoves him into feeling useless, he knows he can't protect anyone; and if he goes through surgery to get rid of these spinal issues he'd be even more limited on how he could help because he'd be recovering.

That helplessness is what pushes him into bargaining with Tony. He believes going to Tony might make him stronger and give him a way to protect Dean and Kenta. He’s never dealt with Tony directly, he isn't truly aware about how underhanded Tony can be and he genuinely thinks he can negotiate his way into being useful again and maybe even outsmart Tony.

Then it all blows up. Instead of saving anyone, Alan ends up betraying trust and landing himself in danger. He knows exactly what he’s done. ( when Jeff confronts him, Alan doesn’t argue. He knows he broke his own rules. He knows he lied, and worse, he endangered his people. That silence that acceptance that’s not selfishness. It’s accountability after bad judgment, born from desperation. )


I'll always have the opinion that if you didn't like a series because you refused to pay attention, or it wasn't the genre you liked, or the plotline wasn't your preference, or you've watched less then 3 episodes. You cannot give a valid review nor should you try. A series isn't bad just because you specifically didn't like it.
