This is a perfect example of a show that should have only been 1 season simply because the second was abysmal. The first season was so refreshing and fun to watch, the cast all seemed enthusiastic to play their parts, the script was brilliant, the locations were beautiful, the directing was great and the pace was perfect. Unfortunately that didn't continue onto season 2.
I understand what they were trying to do in season 2 and how they were trying to show that the actions James and Alyssa took have severe consequences but I feel like they could have done it in a much more believable way. Bonnie wasn't remotely believable nor a likeable character and it gave an extreme dampening on the entire season, I understand this show screams angsty teenager but my god they went overboard with her.
Season 1 in my eyes was a solid 8 out of 10 and was very enjoyable, I couldn't wait for season 2 to be released and once it was released I watched it as soon as I could. Season 2 wasn't an 8 out of 10, I'd say it was a 5 or a 6 out of 10. Because of that it left a sour taste in my mouth for the rest of the show. I feel like all the plot choices they took in season 2 were so unnecessary and the show would have bene better without a second season.
Overall I am glad I watched this show but i wont ever consider it as a favourite, it'll honestly just be a show I'll forget. Was it worth watching? Yes. Will I go out of my way to recommend it? Definitely not.
