A disapoitmant
Since the pilot trailer, I have been hyped for this show. Of course I watched season 1, and SandRay are still one of my favorite couples out there. Season 1 was messy, and I love it for that. So you think season two will be as messy, and I think it should be like that, because it's only friends, right? But then you get disappointed if you think you will see that.
The plot was so not logical and also really weak sometimes. No couple mixes at all; come on, why do you call it "only friends“ if you're not ready to do it? For me the writing was the worst. I think the actors tried their best with what they got, but most of the time it didn't work.
The weakest couple for me was Arnold and Tua. I say that knowing that Joss and Gawin have good chemistry, so it has to be the writing. I think the timing when they got together was so strange; it didn't work at all. So after like 20 min they break up; I felt nothing at all. Also, sometimes it was cringe to look at their scenes.
I think for Rome and Raffy it was hard as well. The Raffy from the pilot was nowhere to be found, to be honest. But still, AouBoom is just that couple who works with everything. Like, the plot was really not that good, but I can't deny that I still loved to see them together and root for them.
Jack and Dean were, for me, the only couple who worked, also because of the writing. They had really good scenes where I felt something. For me, the scene at the Museum of Exes was a masterpiece. I felt so much and cried over their broken love. You feel that they still love each other, but both need to heal first. They worked really well, and it was a good story just because of them. Also, the acting of Mix, wow, respect; it was really good.
So, all that said, I was disappointed by the writing, and I think they were too scared to risk the official partners, so they didn't really take the risks that were needed.
