From most of the reviews here I gather that many of you don't remember Ronald telling Jenny (or Cassie, don't quite remember) that Rick has a twin brother. Seriously, check that season one finale again. The writers already laid the foundation for season two in last season's finale.
As for Jenny and Cassie being unlikable, I totally agree with the rest of you. I find it difficult, and I mean really difficult to root for them as protagonists. Really, there was a point in season one that I thought Jenny was gonna die and I was glad. I think if your audience can't root for your protagonist/s, than you as a writer have failed miserably. I get that to make a compelling character, you have to give them some negative, or for lack of better words, less appealing traits (like Jon Snow for example; sometimes we want to punch him in the face for some of the dumb choices he makes, but still we root for him when he's charging against Ramsay Bolton, or Boromir, he tried to take the ring from Frodo yet we still feel sad when he's laying there full of arrows saying his last words), otherwise we'll complain about them being too perfect, like Rey Skywalker or Captain Marvel to name a few. But I just can't find those redeeming qualities in Jenny and Cassie. My gawd and don't get me started on those Sullivan sisters.
But I do have hopes for this series, just not high hopes. 5 stars for the series as a whole thanks to Jesse James Keitel who plays Jerrie. This is a compelling character. One far from perfect, but one we can sympathize with.
