Deserves a higher rating!
Its one of the rare times where the s2 is better than the s1. There were strong and weak moments. So let me break down the reasons why i think its underrated.
PLOT
Till the middle of ep 9 the series was fire. The plot was plotting. The scenes were intense, cute and full of heartbreaks for both CharlieBabe and AlanJeff. We had suspense. The "bad guy" of the story was good with trying to steal Babe. I really enjoyed the fact that Babe and Charlie reversed their "roles" somehow. We saw a jealous Charlie that also stood on his level and tried to protect his pride despite all his love for Babe. Babe on the other hand was the one chasing this time and showed his most affectionate side and how much he loved Charlie and didn't wanna lose him. The fact that he started to also use the terms papa/mama meant that he finally took Charlie seriously and he wanted him as his forever partner. At some point I was screaming to the screen to give Babe a break over all the heartbreaks. His relationship with Charlie faced many obstacles.
The whole Tony drama with the special powers at some point was confusing and tiring. I thought we were over that on s1 but nooo. They wanted to make it the main story again after we started strong with a different trope adding the character on Willy. There was no clear reason why Tony tried to manipulate Babe and Charlie. We just mostly assume. The return of Way as Chris was useless. He provided zero knowledge to the story and as a researcher didnt come up with any of the solutions and "what ifs". We barely saw any plot based on the car races. They mostly focused on the special alphas trope and thats a bit sad. And thats where the show lost some points. I mean, while on s1 we were constantly on the garage this time we were placed on the "other" side of Babes house (felt like an open house tour), on Pete's house and a little on the lab.
ACTING
The chemistry between PoohPavel was immaculous at this season. Not that it didn't exist on s1, but this time was on next level. Pavel was so good on his crying scenes. Pooh was amazing with how he depicted his lust and love while trying to contain all these feelings and act cold. Although we didn't get many nc scenes this time between them, they did a great job on their cute moments and all the fights (and their kisses).
ENDING
Although the wedding scene was cute, I think that if they ended it during the memory regain it would've been also perfect. And what kind of jumpscare was that during the end with the face of Tony! Either way, the show deserves a higher rating.
