Season 2 of You was so Good
Pros: I enjoyed this journey joe was on to make me a change man and also further character development. This season story was really compelling to watch. I was impressed with Jenna Ortega hold her own in this supporting role in this season. Love Quinn was a far different woman than beck. There’s was a lot of drama & topics being handled like sexual abuse, alcohol dependence, murder, abusive relationships & lost of loved ones and I was shocked by the big twist involving Joe and Love.
Cons: I’m glad there wasn’t any we ashes from the previous season. There were a few plot holes didn’t get tied up and A few dialogue choices I wasn’t that of a fan that much.
