One word: RUSHED!!
This had the potential to be so much better than it was; especially with this casting!!! This felt rushed and all over the place. I am very disappointed in this series. I'm not really sure how to describe the way I feel about this series, but I'm going to try....
First off, the only thing I liked about this series is the casting. I think the casting was great, however the execution of this series; terrible and I blame the directors. When I watched the series I was expecting more drama, more spice, really more of a lot of things that this didn't deliver.
Second, this did Neo dirty! He played a bastard in Only Friends yet he was docile in this one. I mean, they really toned down his character and I was expecting his character to be more outspoken, more dramatic, more of a lot of things really. I expected his character to be similar to how he was in the first Only Friends, but no... his character was toned down way too much and he barely had any screen time. The fact that Boston wasn't Boston in this had me highly disappointed because I was expecting more drama the minute he appeared in this show.
It also felt very rushed like the director wanted to hurry up and get this series over with or something. And don't get me wrong, the casting was great but the acting on some of them were very subpar and all of them are pretty good actors, so imagine my disappointment when I was watching this subpar acting from them and again not their fault; it's the directing. And let me just add this; with that much eye candy in this series it should have been better then the first one.
The Earth/Mix pairing wasn't doing it for me. I usually like anything those two are paired in together but this, no. Joss/Gawin pairing we're pretty good, however, the pairing that made this show even the slightest bit likable for me to continue watching was Aou/Boom pairing. To me, they made this show possible. They brought the spice and they brought most of the drama that actually made sense.
Another thing that made this okay to watch were the cameos by Sand/Ray and then Nick showing up and Boston saw him while being Boston. This one just did not tickle my fancy but I did like seeing Great at the end, so does this mean we'll possibly get a third season of Only Friends and we'll follow his story? I mean, it can't be any worse than this one was. It was so disappointing and I wish I could get all the hours I wasted on this show back but I can't. And maybe somebody out there will like and appreciate the show, but I didn't and my rating stands.
