First time watcher thoughts so far

On season two episode 2 and wasn't expecting this show to really hit the tough things and do it well. Tyras stalking and almost assault, what landry does, racism in season 1, bi polar, of course Jason being paralyzed

Julie is a great portrayal of just a teen, but I'm not super into her character. She's just there. Matt OMG I LOVE HIM. Like seriously

The swede makes me cringe so hard, it's so so pervy so far and I had to start skipping his scenes

Don't care for Tim and the older woman. The scenes with the kid was great though. Wish he could just have a big brother role without all that

I'd love a deeper Lyla and Tyra friendship but I don't think it'll happen

Not religious at all so all that gets tedious for me

Buckle up! You're in for a HELLUVA ride! Season 2 was good but due to writer's strike that year storylines weren't wrapped up or just abandoned! There's still some good eps in there but it always gets a bad rep!

This show is a CLASSIC! Great ensemble cast and phenomenal acting! I think the last 2 seasons of the show were the best but truly a great show all around!

They did an EXCELLENT job with the series finale also! Most finale leave you wishing you hadn't invested your time but they do an excellent job of closing everyone's storyline. Enjoy 🙂

I think Lyla will surprise you later.

I'm not a Julie-hater...as you said, she's a teenager and when I was her age I learned some tough lessons.

There's a character coming up who I did despise and a couple I really loved--you'll enjoy all of it!

I'm excited to see where it goes. I'm on season 3 now and Lyla is still just eh
