Pitstop Where the Plot Hits the Brakes
This season was unnecessary. There was hardly any plot or story development. In this season, Charlie and his team are searching for an antidote or cure to eliminate their powers. Spoiler alert: they never get around to developing it by the end. Tony is somehow alive (he has resurrection/healing superpowers — no surprise there), and becomes the villain of the series, working on a way to enable ordinary humans to gain superpowers. However, this plot felt weak and ultimately fell flat. We had 13 episodes, yet they all felt like filler, with barely any progression.
The couples throughout the series were just plain annoying. BabeCharlie had way too much screen time. The actor playing Babe (Pavel) can act, but his partner, Charlie (Pooh), seriously needs acting lessons. Their storyline in this season wasn’t that great; they should’ve focused on other couples. Also, why are there so many couples? It seems unnecessary.
As for the next couple: Way's twin, Chris, and Pete — they were just ridiculous. Pete is mesmerized by Chris because he looks like Way, and by the end of the season, Chris tells Pete that he needs to move on from loving Way before they can be together. The dynamic between Pete and Chris was just weird and annoying. It was supposed to be a love story between a scientist who looks like his dead twin and a boss who finds comfort in that.
Next couple: Sonic and North — why bother with them? Yes, they have chemistry, but they’re hardly shown in the series. Another annoying thing was that they kept avoiding addressing the issue between them until the very end. Very lazy writing.
As for the next couple, Alan and Jeff, I felt like they were just okay, I guess. They can act, but in my opinion, they had zero chemistry.
Now, my favorite couple, Kim and Kenta, had the least amount of screen time (I only watched for them). They have chemistry and a solid storyline. I really wish they'd gotten more focus. Also, they had the best acting alongside Pavel.
Willy, in this series, was decent. I liked his time manipulation powers, but they weren’t fully explored. How typical of the production team to not make the most of anything.
Dean had a redemption arc, which was good but too short. With so many side characters and couples, everything felt messy and rushed, and no one was fully fleshed out.
Winner helping Tony felt unnecessary and pointless.
The scientists helping Charlie find an antidote were equally unnecessary. Despite having 13 episodes, there was no real progression.
So what was the point of this series if the plot didn’t even live up to expectations? It was like the plot wasn’t even plotting.
Lastly, I want to say that the writing was just terrible. It felt lazy and rushed. The plot barely moved forward and was downright ridiculous. All the unnecessary meet-ups where they just discussed how to eliminate Tony felt pointless. Even Tony, the supposed villain, couldn't figure out how to manipulate or take down the Pitbabe crew. The writers should have made him much more cunning and clever. The production really needs to focus on better plotlines, stronger character dynamics, and more engaging writing. Why did I watch this, you might be wondering? Well, I liked the first season, which was much better, and I had high expectations for this one. In the end, though, I just stuck around for Kim and Kenta.
