S1 is definitely way more toxic then S2 to the point where S2 for me is on hold as it isn't as angsty so it isn't engaging me enough. In S1, all main couples had a toxic partner, lines were definitely crossed and there was always drama going on
Exactly. What I found interesting in season 1 is how messy the characters were, they didn’t stick to only fixed partners can kiss, and it kept things interesting and unpredictable. We saw Boston kiss many guys , the TopBoston scene etc , and it felt like any couple could end up together or not. That uncertainty and seeing characters not sticking only to their fixed partners made it really engaging.
In season 2, it felt so different. Characters don't cross those lines anymore,there are moments where it looks like something might happen, but then it always doesn’t then you realise nothing is going to happen between not fixed couples. it starts to feel predictable, and that takes away the excitement.
I do like the OFDO couples ,but the story is not engaging enough to me. That’s why I’m waiting for it to finish before catching up.
It's clear to me that they are trying to please the fixed couple fans so they removed the thrill of only friends
