amazingly built up season, a step up from season one in pretty much every aspect, the humor, writing, emotions, and even just its cinematography. tom and shivs relationship was pushed out so much further and complex this season, giving them actual important conversations and arguments between the two. rather than just portraying Shiv as a cheater and having Tom forgive her every single time, it pushes the boundaries of their relationship and finally allows them to confront each other. you can really see the toxicity in their relationship but it’s done so in a way that makes you want to root for them to succeed. 

the way they handled Kendall coping with the boys death was done really well, he was mainly sad the whole season and clearly in grieving, until the last three episodes where he just becomes much more confident in himself. i expected him to just become a daddy’s boy for the rest of the show, but the twist in episode 10 was so shocking and just brilliant, Kendall just doesn’t care anymore. another lovely thing that this show does is that it doesn’t overuse Logan’s anger issues to portray him as an antagonist. instead, there’s just a couple short moments when he cracks, yelling or slapping someone, when you realize that he’s truly so manipulative and just an overall asshole. 

might be really random too but i think this show gives every character the perfect amount of screen time, i love roman and greg so much but if they had more screen time I feel like I’d get easily annoyed at them. they have such a well structured amount that it feels so refreshing whenever i see them on screen.

the ending of episode 10 was perfect and im so excited to watch the rest or this show, I really do love it so much. but weirdly enough this is also one of those shows that i feel like is a bit overrated, while still being so fantastic. i think i just set every show extremely high unachievable expectations to be honest.
