Promised a lot, but didn’t take as many risks as Season 1
I really felt like the first season was much bolder with the couple swaps (WITH ACTUAL KISSES), and that’s exactly what I was hoping to see in this new season. What made the first season so fun was how they took already established ships and, along with Neo (Boston), completely shook everything up. That unpredictability made the series way more interesting. This season was missing exactly that: taking more risks and leaning harder into the drama.
For example, by the end, Jack’s reaction felt a bit exaggerated considering everything that had already happened during both the first and second breakups. Boston’s return also could have been much more impactful. They created so much chaos and hype when they announced he’d be coming back to the series, so expectations were really high. Aside from that scene where he was taking pictures with Tua and Arnold which was great. I felt like they didn’t fully take advantage of that energy (honestly, a ménage scene there would have fit the vibe of the series perfectly).
Raffy and Rome were the couple that caught my attention the most, and they deserved much better development. Their dynamic was interesting, bold, and exactly the kind of energy this series needs. Mix’s acting was also really good. His interactions with Raffy were so entertaining to watch.
Another thing that positively surprised me was the lower-body touching and grabbing. The fact that Raffy and Rome were always choosing public places also added a more intense and provocative atmosphere to their scenes.
As for the NC scenes, I thought some of them were really well filmed, with beautiful shots and great choreography especially the Arnold and Tua scene in the middle of the clothes, which looked amazing. But on the other hand, some of the other scenes ended up feeling pretty weak.
Another aspect I really liked was the use of imagery and visual transitions between scenes, as well as the documentary-style approach throughout the series. It gave the show a more dynamic and immersive feeling. However, I do think the documentary storyline itself deserved a more proper conclusion within the series.
