It felt crowded and and rushed leaving a lot of things even more unresolved, yet at the same time had felt like nothing really happened. There was alot of screentime used for the characters to just stare at each other.
There was 5 minutes used for Eliott to sing to Rue. We didn't get any scenes of Rue & Jules actually talking.
We got a scene of Ashtray being killed? That really made no sense, where was the logic? What was his plan? What was the point? If he didn't want Fez to take the blame, he could've just told the police the truth... and honestly Ashtray suddenly killing Chester or whatever didn't even make sense. Ashtray was seen as street smart and aware in season 1 and season 2 Sam planted seeds wanting ashtray to be seen as trigger happy clearly just for this ending, but it's like what's the point???? Just for shock???
The dumb Cassie and Nate storyline took up so much of this season for Jules and Kat to have no screentime and no storyline only for it to end in a underwhelming dumb way. In season 1, Jules was treated as the secondary protagonist and she's an amazing compelling character who deserved a better story for season 2, especially after her special episode. Instead we got Sam choosing to make forced drama and "shock" value "storylines" just for the sake of it.
Season 2 overall dropped the quality of this series down so much. Season 2 became more like a standard teen drama with amazing cinematography and acting. However, Sam's amazing artistic touch with directing just comes off as pretentious since there's not a actual good story and depth to back it up like there was in season 1.
