I’ve watched a lot of shows. I’ve enjoyed a lot of shows and
gave up on a lot more. But I wanted to take a moment and rant a bit here.
I really liked the first season of this show. I liked the
characters and the mystery. There was depth to the choices each person made,
and time was spent on the story arc. And the music? Loved that. I bought that
and still listen to it often.
I looked forward to the second season, but I’m always afraid
something will go wrong. And guess what? It did…
I read some of the reviews, and a lot of people mention the word “woke.” I’m not going to disagree some of that was stuffed in there. For me, the bigger problem was the choices made with the characters. Okay, so up until the last episode, I was holding out hope it would turn out. And then, at the end of the last episode, I saw red. WHAT?
MAJOR SPOILERS…
So, Vignette is awful this
whole season. She’s selfish and a brat. I seriously disliked her, but everyone
else (minus Darius) seemed to love her. Why? Philo deserves better, but what
did he end up with? He’s alone and walks with a cane. Even his friends are
dead. Speaking of that, they killed Darius?! He was clearly in love with
Tourmaline, and he cared about her all the time. Unlike Vignette, who only ran
to Tourmaline when she was pissed at Philo. And the Sparas? That thing was
horrifying and weird. It also made for a muddy mystery that I didn’t like as
much as the first season.
Overall, I’m not going to say the show is awful, but I won’t
watch the second season again. I didn’t see anything in it worth a rewatch.
I’ve seen the first season a few times, and I’d gladly watch it again. The only
thing I took from the second season was the soundtrack. It was another great
musical outing for a disappointing season. Congrats to Nathan Barr on that one.
For me, the show ends at season one. So, Half a Good Show?
