I enjoyed it
I'm a simple person, as long as I have fun and in invested in a story then that makes a good movie or series for me.I enjoyed season 2 alot. There was alot going on plot wise and the tension remained high throughout. However some characters definitely disappointed me and it was from bad writing.
Charlie, Jeff, Dean, Kenta and Kim were solid for me.
The Babe from season 1 would have beaten Willy the minute he got all up in his face. Yeah you can say Charlie made him a better person but for all the shit Willy was doing or saying Babe would have never entertained it. Added to the fact that Willy assaulted him and has been a perv from day one and that wasnt addressed. However I'm glad he went his own way. In addition the fact that Babe didnt say sorry once and was gaslighting Charlie into making it seem like his fault for being at the lab was wack. Atleast we should have had the first epi be drama free so we could see how Chralies lab work affects him spending time with Babe.
Alan pissed me off. They really said we are going to make you the biggest hypocrite. The same thing he got mad at Jeff for he did it ten fold. Lied, made a deal with Tony and stole Charlies blood. And the team going oh dont be mad at him he'll do anything to save his boys. What he did was extremely dumb and the biggest catalyst for shit going wrong. He went back on every advice he gave and betrayed Babe and Jeff the most and that was brushed over.
I never cared for Way so neither did I care for Chris and Pete. I only watched their dialogue wasnt even interested in their sex scenes. Their screentime should have been given to Kentakim. The whole concept of Pete being with the twin of his ex situationship is interesting but they themselves werent.
Also didnt care for NorthSonic. That could have been resolved ages ago. The drag out was unnecessary.
Winner is just.... pathetic and useless and I wished they beat his ass.
Kentakim were great the development felt natural wish there was more.
Jeff and Alan were cute, was never too interested in their couple to be honest.
Loved CharlieBabe ofcourse. Wish we got more of them being happy and seeing their routine without the drama. Charlie had every right to be pissed because he voiced how he felt about Willy and his insecurities to Babe and he lied and practically threw it in his face. But it was nice to see how much Babe cared for Charlie which was the opposite in season 1. We saw a desperate, not so cool Babe chasing his bf and I liked that we chipped away at that rough cool exterior.
Also liked jealous possessive Charlie who is always standing on business and the most we saw him smile was when he lost his memories which is quiet telling of how everything with the lab, Tony, Willy, Babe etc was weighing on him. That also could have been explored more.
Dean got a good redemption arc and I hated him in season 1 and was calling him my little baby in season 2 so you know they did great work there. But Dean in a coma and Winner was just okay????
Also I love that whole Papa Mama thing. But to each their own. I dont find it cringing at all.
Acting was great. Paval carried. He put in all that work. Pooh was good too. His eyes just get me every time when it comes to displaying emotion. Going from cutey to daddy is his speciality.
We could have gotten one more episode to wrap things up. They crammed alot into the last episode. Even the thing with the key. Chris was snooping in Ways house and found the box so he didnt think oh wait maybe thats what the key opens??? Slopping writing there.
The Tony plot was interesting and I'm glad i noticed the marks on his neck that was later explained to be his power. Dont have any complaints character wise cause he stayed through to his character in the first season.
Graphics for the powers were well done. Some of the time manipulation scenes were a bit wonky but overall good.
The racing scenes were top notch. They really stepped it up and I loved it. The set for the races was great. The sets overall and those houses were gorgeous.
They could have done a much better job of separating the wedding from the story and just cast memories. Cause obviously ppl were there that we know werent supposed to. They could have edited them out then end the series and added the rest of the cast to the wedding scene as a goodbye from the cast.
But all in all I liked it alot. Would I rewatch? No. Too much pain and too little happiness. I just wish we had more chilled moments with the entire team bonding. However I looked forward to seeing the ships again. Pitbabe was overall really good and was a fresh idea.
