Let’s get one thing straight. I did NOT expect myself to be watching this. Season 1 already tested my patience, my sanity, and my loyalty 😭 because I STILL believe it should’ve been PavelPooh but okay… whatever… we move… allegedly.

Did season 2 change my mind?
Short answer: NO.
Long answer: ABSOLUTELY NOT BUT WITH MORE TRAUMA 😵‍💫

If someone gave me a remote and said “watch or don’t watch,” I would gently place it down, look them in the eye, and say don’t do it bestie 🫶 Season 2 isn’t a full disaster, but it’s the kind of chaos where you finish watching and just sit there like …why? BUT THEN. A NEW FACE APPEARED. And suddenly my brain shut off. Yes. WILLY. SO PRETTY. SO NAUGHTY. SO FINE IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL 🚨🔥

WHY IS MY PHONE WALLPAPER A MAN AGAIN? WHY IS IT HIM? WHY AM I LIKE THIS? His name is Milk and he can milk me whenever-

a) PLOT + CHARACTERS (BUNDLED TOGETHER BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY AND I AM TIRED 😩)

First of all, cinematography? Always good. No complaints. Camera work? Sexy. Lighting? Delicious. WHICH IS WHY I WAS SO MAD when they DID NOTHING WITH IT. Kenta pulled out a KNIFE and my brain immediately went "OH OKAY ACTION ARC WE’RE ABOUT TO EAT". Only to find out that he then… surrendered. That was it. BRUH. EXCUSE ME. THAT’S THE PAYOFF???

Now let’s talk about the main plot aka TONY REFUSING TO DIE. This man is alive, thriving, and STILL cooking up weird drugs to enhance Alpha abilities like SIR??? You are already rich??? WHAT IS THE REASON??? Villains really do die last because WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?? Kim’s resentment toward Babe being constantly protected and always being number one? VALID 👏 EXTREMELY VALID 👏 I’m shocked he didn’t crash out harder. Imagine racing your ass off just for Babe to swerve in, win, and everyone claps while you’re told to “understand.”
NO. JUSTICE FOR KIM.

Now let’s give flowers where flowers are due, PING AND NUT FINALLY HAD A KISS AND SEX SCENE! ( WELL IN THE SERIES IT'S PETE AND CHRIS ) THANK YOU. GOD IS REAL. BUT… why were their hands moving like malfunctioning NPCs? THE STIFFNESS??? HELLO??? ARE YALL OKAY??? Nut though? Oh Nut is CUNTY 💅 POWER BOTTOM ENERGY RADIATING AND HE IS ALL I WISH I COULD BE. I love him down. Cannot WAIT for his series with Ping 😌 Pete as a character though… what does he DO besides being rich and having sex with Chris ( Way's look alike cuz apparently Way remain dead but not Tony ) ?? Because Chris honestly feels like he exists just so Nut would be in the series. If yall didn’t want Way back, at least make Chris a NORMAL character. Or go FULL CHAOS and make him ACTUALLY WAY but with Amnesia. Secret identity. LAY LOW. SOMETHING. PLEASE!! Also, Ping and Nut have zero chemistry here that I am sad. I’m glad they’re no longer paired. They both deserve better. Period.

HOWEVER—plot twist—I thought I’d love PingNut here but NAWRRRRRR. BENZ AND GARFIELD STOLE THE SHOW. THE SEXUAL TENSION??? THE VIBES??? THEY ARE MY FAVORITE SIDE COUPLE NOW AND I WILL NOT BE ARGUED WITH!

Now... Babe and Charlie. GURL. I am TIRED 😮‍💨. All they do is fuck. Jeff call them, asking for help and they’re BUSY HAVING SEX?? ARE YALL SERIOUS?? ON GOD I- PLS GET THIS BOO BOO AWAY FROM MY SCREEN. Also technical stuff matters okay. Charlie having nightmares but his face is DRY. PERFECT. FLAWLESS. Sir where is the sweat? Where is the distress? Where is the realism? And yes, I still think it should’ve been PavelPooh. Pooh’s acting remains the same though: stoic eyes, stoic body, zero emotional variation. The only time I felt ANYTHING was when Willy started sniffing around Babe and suddenly Pooh woke up a bit. Still fell short though. Also, that onsen scene where Babe stops Charlie from punching Willy??? Babe almost FLUNG him like paper. I laughed so hard I had to rewind. Twice.

Alan and Jeff’s storyline is textbook angst with extra dumb decisions. Alan lectures Jeff about keeping secrets, then turns around and makes a deal with Tony, sacrifices Charlie, and hides it from Jeff. SIR. WHERE IS THE LOGIC. WHERE?? 🤡 BUT Pon’s acting??? INSANE 🤯 His visions, the way he stumbles—he SOLD IT. I actually believed he was sick. Everyone else? Miscommunication Olympics. Amnesia. Power transfers. Breakups. Makeups. Random fainting. This plot feels like when I played house as a kid and just added drama for fun.

And then… Willy MY LOVE. Why does he look like Fort’s naughty multiverse variant? Why is he so fine but also looks so young that I’m scared to like him cuz I might catch a case? His power is manipulating time and yet he MOVES SO SLOW in episode 12. Babe. You almost had Tony. ALMOST. WHY ARE YOU PLAYING TOO MUCH MF!! I would hate his character if he wasn’t that attractive. Unfortunately for me, he is 🫦.

c) OVERALL

This season was… unnecessary. Season 1 could’ve ended and we’d be fine. Somehow everyone ends up friends with everyone, including people who absolutely should not be forgiven but Tony’s dead though, so at least there’s that. Season 2 disappointed me. Season 1 had better tension, better kisses, better sex scenes, better plot, and a better ending.

Final score: 6/10
I was THIS close to giving a 4 but Willy said “hello” and I folded. Extra 2 points for being hot.

Will I rewatch?
Absolutely not but only because I do not rewatch series unless if it is REALLY good. And honestly? Me giving 6 is already charity.
