Silente 08

Is it just me or is the audio for ep. 12 on WeTV broken? There was a lot of background noise, much more than usual, and I can't explain where it could come from. Not too distracting, but makes the post production seem very cheap.

No, why only 10 episodes? :( The pandemic, I guess ...

On a whole new level, yes!

I understand your feeling, but I do not agree that this show is “primarily comedy”. Season 1 was, maybe, but season 2 was very different from the start, the comedy has clearly been sidelined (that’s why I prefer this season over the first one). So Ton’s death feels far from random to me at this point, the story had already enough gravitas. In season one it would however have felt inappropriate for sure …

Alright, the only memorable episode worth watching was ep. 11 imo. Everything else was mostly irrelevant. I didn't find it as bad as some people, but it was very boring. Not sure what rating I will give this ...

Production value was decent and it had some genuinely funny moments, but the lacking chemistry between the leads, the absurd story, the over-the-top comedy and the very insensitive treatment of serious issues (toxic masculinity, homophobia, surrogate motherhood) made watching this rather painful. I'm glad it wasn't longer. Still gets a 6 from me, but I seriously considered dropping it ...

Yes, same here. I'm not sure if I should be annoyed by it or just regard it as the particular style. We shall see ...

As a sidenote: the short interactions between Tor and Good are wonderful!

Nothing special story-wise, but the aesthetics were really nice; I loved the colours, especially after so many city-centered series!

I discuss it in my review (9*), but I'll leave this comment here as well, maybe someone else has thoughts on it as well: I strongly assume that something went wrong during the production of this season, forcing them either to radically cut scenes that had originally been filmed or to skip parts of the screenplay already during filming. Probably GMMTV had to rearrange their schedule due to the pandemic and this series ended up in an airing spot it was not designed for. In my opinion, the screenplay was probably aiming at a format similar to “Who Are You”, with 18 episodes à 60 minutes (maybe a little less, 16 episodes or so).

Not totally sure if she qualifies as an anti-hero, since she was essentially driven by self-pity and didn’t have any higher goals (or did I miss something?). And she wasn’t just a victim either. But all of that certainly makes her a great character!

I wouldn’t go for a 10-times improvement, but better for sure. Or rather a proper continuation of the strong first half of season 1; that one took a dive towards the end with all the forced “happy” endings. Hopefully they don’t ruin the ending again!

Seriously, I’ve had four different series airing on Fridays these last weeks, and Friend Zone was always the first one I watched!

I also thought that the scene before leaving the restaurant looked a little suspicious. We'll see, I guess. I'm certainly not a fan of Earth and Stud as a couple, but as I commented somewhere else already, it fits well with the general attitude of the show.

I don't disagree. But this show was never about working relationships, was it? The developments imo fit very well with the overall attitude shown.

Extremely excited about this!

Well, it’s not exactly “holiday season” in Thailand. But I don’t remember whether they usually aired anything around new year. Also, they didn’t fill the Saturday and the second Sunday spot in a while, but probably their output has been severely affected by the pandemic. Anyway, none of the two mentioned series sound too interesting to me, only waiting for Tale of a Thousand Stars anymore …

Although I don't want this to end so soon; does anyone know what will air on Fridays after Friend Zone 2 has ended (from December 18th)? I can't think of anything right now ...

Wanna see bad directing? Then watch something directed by Dan Worrawech :D The problems with LBC2 lay somewhere else imo, but whatever.

Honestly, imo many of the reviews are way harsher than what this season deserves. I get that expectations after season 1 were extremely high (I gave that one 10/10, so yeah), but I have seen so much worse out there ...
