The jabs at Venezuela were brilliant.
This lowkey feels like a filler episode. The tease about Carlos from the end of the last episode leads to nothing more than a line about how whatever his plan was didn't work. The reveal at the end is the only real interesting part of the episode and even then, it seems weird that they even hid it for so long.
That was pretty bad.
I kinda feel that the writing team probably thought, "Hey, that meta Disney+ joke is gonna be hilarious" but it was just plain awkward.
Also, positioning Corbin Bleu, who is playing a fictionalized version of himself, as a jerk in the first episode was way too out there, since the majority of the audience who knows who Corbin is irl, know that he's the furthest from a jerk as one could get. Idk, it's just not very believable. Though, I was very happy to see Jason Earles again. He's a very underrated comedic actor, in my opinion.
The original song was great. On the other hand, what 16 - 17 year old is ever gonna be that excited to be in "Frozen: The Musical", even if they are theatre kids. That was so dumb.
Ricky finding the harness so out of nowhere was just way too easy. Also, those new characters feel so out of place. Why are so many OG characters missing all of a sudden anyway?
I know, I know, the show's not supposed to be Emmy material, but the writing in S1 & 2 was really well done, and this episode was just plain sloppy.
You never cooked chicken alfredo with a friend? :joy:
Almost a bit too dragging for me. I loved the ending shots though!
Dumpster is a great name for a dog
Ola saying "I love you, dude. I love you like a friend." to Adam was so weird. Two episodes ago she had to point out that she's his coworker from the picture. She's the new kid but suddenly she has deep connections with the people around her? I have 13 Reasons Why flashbacks...
I do think it's problematic that Adam used to be Eric's bully and Adam does need a lot of development and learning how to talk about things, but I think I like him more with Eric than Rahim. Rahim seems so... emotionless? Kind of similar to Ola. Ola is nearly always happy and careless and smiley, and Rahim is always emotionless and matter-of-fact. Eric is so loud, bubbly and extrovert that I'm surprised both of his love interests are so the opposite of him. But I feel like Adam could be louder and more open if he actually came out of his shell. We already saw him laughing a few times with Eric and I would like to explore that tbh.
At first I was a bit annoyed that we're at the same endpoint as season 1, but then I realized that Adam's now out of the closet, so hopefully season 3 will move forward with that. (And I desperately need more happy scenes with Adam because my heart hurts watching him.)
The ending with Maeve/Otis/Isaac just annoyed me. I don't really need Maeve and Otis together, but that was such a cheap twist. It felt so forced to keep them apart even longer now, ugh. If they at least decided to stay friends or something, but this was literally "person A confesses feelings but person B never got the message" trope bullshit. Writers need to remember that you can have the main characters be together and still continue the damn story.
I enjoyed this season, but there was too much love triangle and "will they, won't they" stuff. Jean/Jakob/Remi, Ola/Otis/Maeve, Eric/Adam/Rahim, Ola/Lily drama for a few episodes. And Viv has feelings for Jackson now which I hope won't be too problematic. I would like to see more platonic friendship scenes, therapy scenes or whatever. Not everything needs to be love drama. I feel like it wasn't that much and forced in season 1.
why are we still watching this, as a society?
Few more 'known' faces than last season. Hope that s2 doesn't feel like cameo central. Also Amy Schumer? No fucking thank you.
Tina was great ofc but as another commenter said there's something missing in the dialogue snappiness. Hopefully it's just first ep jitters
‘I for one am not going to compromise my artistic integrity”
You’re not artistic and you have no integrity” lol classic
Nathan Fielder must be stopped
Probably my favourite episode of television this year. Brilliant stuff right here, those 20 minutes flew by.
I hope Remy gets a real daddy soon. He seems like a great kid!
I was very nervous to watch this last episode because I feared they would force Otis and Maeve together the last minute. I'm glad they didn't.
I just hope they don't ruin it next season and make some silly excuses for them to break up with their current partners so they can end up together. They have a good thing going with the relationships they've been building during this whole season and, even though they might like each other, doesn't mean they are right for each other yet.
This is truly a well put show. And one where there is no forced sexuality or race or gender. Everything feels pretty natural and real life-like. I have liked characters that if they were "forced" in other setting (which is something that Netflix specially tends to do), they would probably won't work for me. Eric still keeps being amazing and his relation with Otis feels very genuine (although i think he wasn't in his best behaviour this season). Adam's character keeps developing even more, and the actor was able to really capture this evolution (from a "no-emotion" bulk bully to a guy that feels confident enough to say "i'm pretty"). I think the next season should be the last one before it gets stretch too much. This end-season wasn't bad at all if it were a finale, but i really wouldn't mind to see a new one. The story is so wide that keeps you hooked enough to want more. Cheers to Netflix for this one
everything that happened with ashtray in this episode was horrible writing. absolutely awful.
I have been destroyed emotionally and I don't know if I'll ever recover
I really liked how they managed Isaac's "confession": multi-layered characters who may act shitty in the heat of the moment, but not for its own sake or - worse - just for complicating the plot and getting it one, are some of the best in creating a believable and complex framework for the story (even and especially if they're secondary ones).
Same - and even more - goes for Adam and his development.
Even if Otis and Maeve are THE couple, I kind of like the relationship with Ruby evolving and not being just a filler.
I knew that at one time or another I would start to hate this Isaac for real.
Brilliant season. Oh, and Bark Wahlberg :joy:.
The first episode was exciting (after half an hour), this one was slow, a bit boring and predictable (everyone will return). Nice introduction to the characters, but slow. Hope it gets better once they returned to the playground.
i wanted to see more of maddy beating the shit out of cassie, not elliot singing
What the flying fuck just happened?
guest stars tab on this page is INSANE
Otis is seriously pissing me off this season. Back in season 1 he was, for the most part, "compellingly odd" as Maeve once said. This season, however, he's been doing nothing but antagonizing everyone around him from his mother to Jakob to Ola to Maeve and it's annoying as hell. The speech he made in this episode was just a bunch of self-righteous bullshit. I've been shipping him with Maeve from the start, but tbh now I think Maeve deserves better than this entitled little shit.
You know what…. Fuck maeve…… I want ruby to be happy and with Otis ….. it’s probably not gonna happen tho
