@@TaylorJWilliams Well, not everything needs to be foreshadowed or mentioned. I didn't feel like it was a new invention for this season, it felt more like an expansion. I think the reason why they didn't even mentioned Bonnie's backstory was because they wanted to shock the audience. We spend the entire season trying to find out who killed whom. And every scene we would ask ourselves: Was it her who died? Is he the murderer? And putting Bonnie under the radar was the best way to surprise us. At least, I was surprised. I really thought she was a minor character.

Renata was butchered as well. In the first season she was a complex character, who tries to be friendly and sociable but comes across as very fake despite her best attempts.

I didn't like Madeline's ending, i feel they could have explored better why she did what she did. Since season 1 the show implied that Madeline wasn't satisfied with her life, she literally screamed i want more and it's kind of anticlimatic how that concludes in just her marrying Ed again. They could have dived in more about her frustrations with never going to college instead of putting so much focus on Ed and Tori or Ed and Nathan fighting

@chrisolivo6591 5 лет назад

The biggest problem with TV today is that most shows are written for one season without a real plan for multiple season arcs. Time and time again I start a great new show and am totally enthralled through the first season. Then we get to a 2nd season and you could see they had no idea where to go and the shows jumps off a cliff as the characters and plot points become absurd. Bloodline is probably the best example of a show that has a fantastic first season and should have stopped there as Season 2 and 3 are utterly ridiculous. Big Little Lies Season 2 has great performances so it wasn’t worthless. The problem is the overall season 2 arc really goes nowhere and you realize after the finale that it was pretty pointless.

"Season riddled with loose treats and ideas" is the perfect description. Like Madeline in the first episode working as a realtor with no experience at all at that, and that subject being dropped out after. Or the school, which was so important in the first season (including teachers and teaching) it only serves for some little scenes. And there's so much more. Another thing you didn't talked much about was the editing and cinematography. There were many moment when beginner mistakes were commited, with light, position, color scheme... And the editing was so overwhelming when in the first season was so relaxing.

@Loffeleif 5 лет назад

Such a disappointing season. They took it from an intelligent murder mystery to basically a courtroom drama. I also never got why they had to keep the secret either for all season 2. Just tell the police that the violent and abusive Perry attacked and that you defended yourself, hence his death. What's so wrong or criminal about that? Like, the whole core premise was so weak.

@FernandoSanchez-ws4jf 5 лет назад

They were in shock which is why they initially lied. Then they lied to the police and coordinated the lie between them. This is obstructing an investigation and conspiracy, which are both crimes. That's why they didn't tell.

@Loffeleif 5 лет назад

Fernando Sanchez I know, but it's such a weak plot point to drag out the season with. Especially considering their crime is not being truthful, and you don't feel there is that much at stake really. Sure it's criminal, but it isn't the end of the world either. If it was something darker, like one of the girls intentionally murdering Perry while he was minding his own business and the others covering for them, I'd be into it. But this is the reason there wasn't any need for a second season - the first one was perfect and didn't need to be fleshed out more.

I personally love the book a lot more than the TV show.

I thought S2 was on thin ice when they revealed that the "Monterey-5" had "lied". The whole idea of a lie was unnecessary and to top that there is an investigator who is still suspicious of the five?

I think they dropped the ball with Ed's character the most. Personally, I felt that the way they shot and edited his scenes always eluded to him having a darker or conniving side to him.

@DrGregoryHouseIT 5 лет назад

They already made the mistake with that ending for season 1, they tried to rectify it with this season, but alas they stretched 6-7 pages to a complete season. Ed was small in season 1 because the tv series cut his and Madeleine's son, which would've led into a specular storyline to Madeleine's with Abigail, which would've also made his hostility to Nathan in season 2 much more understandable. And Bonnie's reasoning for pushing Perry was in the book.

They could have easily added a scene with that in it.

6:12 I wouldn't use the "Harry Potter" franchise as an example of how "each film looks different due to different directors." After Alfonso Cuarón made "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"-the best film in the franchise-then every "Harry Potter" film after that was made to virtually copy the look and feel of Cuarón's third "Harry Potter" film, no matter who was the director.

@TaylorJWilliams 5 лет назад

I’m gonna have to respectfully disagree. Yates established a look for the back half of the series that’s pretty distinct, and his work with Delbonnel on HALF-BLOOD PRINCE rivals Cuarón’s work with Lubezki on AZKABAN, each standing out for different reasons

Bonnie having been a victim of domestic abuse when she was a child is something taken from the novel. I don't remember if it was the father in the book, but regardless it was changed a bit. But yeah, this was just aftermath. It was like they adapted the very last few things in the book after Trivia Night and added a lot of things in there too, such as Mary Louise and Jane and Celeste and Madeline and, yeah...

Yes, it was her father in the book.

Excellent review, I mean they literally should have hired you to co-write this season, with Moriarty. The Ed and Bonnie storyline, and the twins and Ziggy, like when they beat up the school bully, would have been so interesting to follow.

I just finished the season. You make a ton of good points. Many, didn't occur to me as I watched. I did enjoy season 2, but yes, the ending just didn't make sense to me. I looked at it through Celeste's plot: She JUST won custody of her children and then she decides confessing is a good idea? Again, you bring up that yes, they probably would confess at some point, but it's all internal reasoning and it gets muddled from what we just saw. That said, overall, I enjoyed watching the season and I didn't find the episodes boring. I approached it knowing it was "let's recapture what we did in s1" and was entirely written for TV. That didn't bother me. I went in knowing it wouldn't be AMAZING, but I still had fun.

I knew it was a mistake from the moment they announced it. No original source material meant for unnatural dialogue and a frankly a non-existent plot. Just weird
