Dustin was incredible this season, as was Hop. The arguments with El were intense and a definite high point of the season. Seeing Steve evolve into the role of a mentor was pretty cool, and his acting was top notch as well.

The "Dart" shit got way too "mogwai"-ish and hammy. Max and Billy were both completely flat and under-utilized; the only real highlight there was the scene with Billy's father, and even then, it would have been far more effective if they actually gave us a reason to give a shit about him or his motivations. To quote another season recap, "it felt like the writers threw a mullet at a fast car and that was that." Jonathan x Nancy romance has been built up to across both seasons, so seeing that come together fully was nice, however I'm worried about what's left to be done with the characters. Too often when a show builds up a relationship like that, the writers seem to be at a loss for the characters after the "big reveal" or whatever. Mike was pretty drab this season compared to S1; again, like Max or The Cool Guy I Wanna Be When I Grow Up! , I found it hard to really give a shit what he was up to. He spent the whole season either being a dick to everyone else or being an extra in the background of Will scenes. The reunion with El was still really sweet and satisfying, despite his turd writing this time around.

The shit with Kali and her gaggle of juggalo-pandering suicide squad dweebs was just fucking unbearable and the lone irredeemably terrible aspect of this season. They were cheesy as shit and pretty poorly acted.


I just complained a lot but that's only because it's easier to voice specific problems I had than the overwhelming feeling of "HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLYSHITHOLYSHIT" I've had for the past ~9 hours. Season 2 was pretty good and I'm excited/already dying for S3.
