the show should've ended with all of them dying due to the asbestos exposure
I was less ready than I expected to see Asa Butterfield attempting masturbation and talking about sex.
WASN'T HE A KID?!
Ps: Loving the show.
This is definitely getting a second season and I'm all up for it. The cinematography is gorgeous and the soundtrack fits perfectly with its themes. It addresses important topics that should be discussed amongst teenagers in such a natural, easy way.
The whole cast does a great job. I'll never get tired of saying that Asa Butterfield is a fantastic actor and deserves to get more recognition urgently.
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.
Pretty much a perfect miniseries. Intriguing characters and overall story with amazing actors, great cinematography and an absolutely fantastic soundtrack.
After Season 2:
I was really worried that this season might be shit but it actually turned out great. It's IMO as good if not better than S1 (although quite a bit less funnier and even more depressing at times) and it provides a lot happier ending for the characters which is nice. It also deals with the psychological aftermath of S1 really well.
But the best thing in the show still was the soundtrack. It somehow got even better than S1.
Trakt doesn't allow emojis in comments, but If it were, my comment would be somerhing like: The soundtrack in this show is fire emoji fire emoji fire emoji.
The jabs at Venezuela were brilliant.
"It's just a flying saucer, Ed. We gotta go." lol, Peggy kills me.
What the flying fuck just happened?
All episode numbers are wrong!
Truly a masterpiece of Argentinian television, and I'd dare to say television in general.
Fantastic show. The writing is on point and the acting is great. Wish there were more episodes but I am happy that it was not canceled.
Pretty goddamn hilarious. All of the jokes are on point. Comedy shows don't get better than this
im a simple woman i see jonathan groff in the trailer, i watch the whole thing
This season leans a bit too heavily on goofiness, and high school clichés, to generate its comedy—sometimes at the story's detriment. The drop in quality isn't too big, but the actors are doing a lot of the heavy lifting this time around.
I'm still annoyed at Otis's behavior throughout the season, but his voicemail to Maeve was actually really sweet and what Isaac did at the end was a total dick move. Tbh given that Netflix has been canceling their shows left and right, the producers are putting a lot of faith in them with that cliffhanger ending. Nothing has really been resolved in a satisfying way, so if we don't get a season 3 it's gonna be awfully disappointing.
Also, Maeve's mom is literally the worst ever. Fuck her. I'll miss seeing Maeve with Elsie too, they had such a cute relationship.
I knew that at one time or another I would start to hate this Isaac for real.
The show is nicely written and Andrew Scott the priest is incredibly HOT...I can't DRTHHGIFUUFU%%^#%&
You know what…. Fuck maeve…… I want ruby to be happy and with Otis ….. it’s probably not gonna happen tho
How did Ruby go from being a shallow mean b... to being someone who deserves better? Now THAT'S character development.
And Blur closing the episode. Ugh. chef kiss
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.
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
Brilliant season. Oh, and Bark Wahlberg :joy:.
Almost a bit too dragging for me. I loved the ending shots though!
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.
