I'm on E4. Victor says he wants to go to a cabin with Benji and his friends for the weekend. Isabel says she and Armando should discuss it first, but Victor calls her out for being apprehensive about his sexuality. Here's the thing, though: These are still teenagers, so it's normal for a parent to have doubts about an unsupervised getaway. The writers should've waited to use this idea in a later episode. One where Isabel has learned to fully support Victor. That way, during this scene, she would say "No, if you had a girlfriend, I would've reacted the same way."

I'm on E9. Rahim says to Victor "I didn't finish reading LORD OF THE FLIES. Who knew a bunch of hot British boys getting stranded on an island could be so boring?" Ummm... Aren't the characters in that book pre-teens? Ewww!

I just finished. It was an improvement over the first season. While there were still some contrivances caused by lies, secrets and misunderstandings, they weren't predominant anymore. Most of the drama was generated by people having realistic problems without easy solutions. And the characters are still likable (arguably more than before). E10 ends with Victor and Felix and Armando realizing who they want to be with and going to their homes. Lake didn't get a full declaration, but it was close enough. Look, when you have an ensemble like this, you should try to be more varied with how you wrap up the different storylines for the season. You also shouldn't repeat the format of the cliffhanger from the previous season (a shot of Victor saying something important and fading to black before we see the reaction). Speaking of, Victor now has to pick between Benji and Rahim, whom he hasn't known for that long. Therefore, the ending isn't really a nail-biter. Even if he does choose Rahim, then that would make the previous scene pointless. You know, the one where Felix told Victor to imagine his future in great detail and who he wants by his side. That meant he was going to pick the boy he loves, not the boy he merely likes. Not that Rahim is a bad choice, but realistically, picking him would be based on other factors. |
