The "Being Eve" crew have made some improvements since its disastrous first season.
Unlike its predecessor, which pretended to be a comedy and come away as embarrassingly silly, the second season aims to be a drama with quirky moments, and this is where it can be proud of itself. The show is being aimed directly at teenagers, rather than shooting blindly at all age groups, and actually manages to come across with some interesting themes.
Unfortunately, the show did not bring on new writers, and so the dialogue is still very stilted, and the adult characters are so badly written it makes me cringe. I actually feel sorry for the adult actors as they are forced to say their silly lines and act out the idiotic plot-lines they are given.
The teens, however, come across as more believable, although it is obvious that some are still trying to get under the skin of their characters rather than just play up when the camera starts rolling. However the main characters are likeable, and it is obvious the actors are really trying - and what with the better plot-lines for the teens, this is actually turning into a watchable show.
