This show is cheesy, cringe-worthy, and the humorous/witty moments aren't on-point. It's the whole package. Some people may like the show for exactly that, and to be fair, it wasn't as bad as some people may say/found it to be, in their opinion. But for those who don't and didn't, well, that's the case with the first season. All of that changes in the second season.


And maybe it is due to hindsight, but I look back at the first season in a different light. My ratings for the episodes of the first season were all over the place, as was what I wrote up for each one, but I do somewhat remember that I found it enjoyable but I didn't like it.


But the first season was merely an introduction and establishment phase of what's to come. And there was a lot of improvement with the second season. The humorous and/or the witty moments were all of a sudden on-point and not cheesy or cringe-worthy. Plus, they were much smoother and effortless. I got immersed and invested very quickly. It was great. Oh, and the quality increased a lot. That seems to be how Netflix rolls. They use an average budget for every individual show, which probably varies depending on the show, to test the waters and if they're satisfied, they hand out a renewal along with an increased budget. In some cases, depending on the show, the difference can be significant. So, if one of the issues you had with the first season is about that, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the second season.


Honestly, now that I think about it, the concept of the show is pretty cool. Not to mention, there are a lot of cool aspects to the show. The mythology surrounding everything. The characters that are easy to grow attached/grow a liking to or accustomed to, and in the opposite sense, as well. I've grown attached and accustomed to the characters and the show itself so much after watching the second season, I'm surprised at myself. It made me raise my rating of the show to an eight when I gave it a seven that was closer to a six back when I finished watching the first season. The second season was that good.


The only downside is that the show, as a whole, comes off as cheesy and whatnot. If that wasn't enough, it's the type of show where its demographic aim is at a younger audience or whatever, like a teen drama, which I don't think this show is, technically, because the setting is in college. And that ends up sticking and becomes a turn-off to where you won't continue watching it if there were more seasons. But if you were to give the second season a shot, you may change your mind.
