Meh, to each their own. I enjoy it much more than I ever did the first season, and I find it neither boring, shallow…
How can you list all those things about Dean and then say they have no impact? He wasn't kicked out, but his status is being degraded in sneaky and subtle ways, gradually, and his "buddies" were brave enough to casually drug him without his consent in this ep. How does his financial status have no impact, when he's living for free with Tua, his most loyal friend, who is now going to feel hurt and betrayed? It's all evolving in a way that makes sense
On the other hand, the foundation itself in s1 felt shaky because MewRayCheumBoston never felt like a real friend group. I never felt a close connection between them, so them falling apart didn't hurt me as it should've. Even the scene that should've been deeply emotional: Ray and Mew in the bathtub, failed to shake me. It should've been devastating. And that's what bothered me with s1 the most. That and random scenes that felt out of sequence. Per example the SandRayBoeing failed threesome. What was the point of that scene at that point of time? Just to hurt Ray's character development from the previous episode? I still don't get it
And don't get me started on Atom and how Boston's "friends" dealt with him. I'm not even a Boston apologist, but he was falsely accused of SA and none of his friends treated him like a human, Atom got just a slap on the wrist, and if I remember it correctly no one even apologized to Boston. In spite of his faults, he didn't deserve that, and the little friend group didn't deserve the perfect happy endings they got

In what way are these characters one-dimensional while the s1 ones are deep? Could you please elaborate on that? What makes Mew (closest to the center in s1) deeper than Dean (closest to the center in s2) or any other character in either show? This has nothing to do with amount of sex one had, I'm simply talking characterization. And I won't even comment on acting because I find both seasons on more or less the same level in that regard, so...
This show is so boring, shallow and disappointing. They should never have tied it to Only Friends. It suffers…
Meh, to each their own. I enjoy it much more than I ever did the first season, and I find it neither boring, shallow not disappointing, quite the opposite
I've seen this take repeated from ep 1 and I'm honestly confused. Wasn't s1 ending also completely favorable to…
I find it better overall than average bl, but I guess it depends on what one expects. I like the consistency of this one. I'm the type of watcher who, if the ending lets me down, I feel like the whole show let me down. That's why I hold a bitter memory of s1. The ending didn't align with what came before it, and I felt tricked in a sense... This time I feel like I can't be tricked. I haven't read the novel though, so who knows, maybe I will be disappointed again (I hope not )
Where is the mess?? Where is the drama? Bring back Boston. Why cute Pete is cute? The novel readers promissed…
I've seen this take repeated from ep 1 and I'm honestly confused. Wasn't s1 ending also completely favorable to the shippers? At least this time I know what to expect. In s1 I thought perhaps they would be brave enough to break up fixed couples, but in the end they didn't. It all ended clean and too neat. Unrealistically neat. This season's more honest about being a ship-focused gmm bl from the start, and don't feel mislead, lol
Really? I though Raffy did it. But maybe Pete will leak it? A theory I read bellow seems plausible - Pete might leak it, but everyone will think Raffy did it because he already leaked that other video of Dean from early eps
My favorite characters at this very moment are Dean, Tua and Jack. This changes for me each episode, I feel like every week I have different faves. Anyone else?
