What on earth happened to this season?  This isn't the same show we left.

The previews seem like it gets back on track - I hope so.  It doesn't have the same feel as last season.

Why they had to fuck with Evan and Bree?

Well, I guess the showrunner saw too much commentary last season that Bree was the only Good Person on this show, so they had to go and take her down a few notches right away. (But as it was in the first season, it's all very understandable Dumb Shit We Do When We're 20, however infuriating.)

Okay, so Lucy's new guy might be less of a outright sociopath than Stephen, but clearly he's going to have a hair trigger temper and probably end up abusive. My only hope is that before his arc ends, he beats the living hell out of Stephen at least one time.

I'm assuming that since the first season followed the book in terms of storyline and characters (albeit strayed and changed certain parts), the second season had to come up with completely new stuff on its own. I agree; the show seemed to not focus so heavily on just Lucy/Stephen and spread it out among the supporting characters. But I'm sure their toxic relationship will still dominate as the season continues.

Does anyone know if there's a good Season 1 recap anywhere? The one they tacked onto this season barely scratched the surface for me and I've forgotten the finer points -- particularly of the first-night death and then the way that played out with Drew and Wrigley.

I'm assuming the thing Lucy's hometown bestie will never forgive her for is... maybe advocating for assault charges to be pressed against her brother or something?

Is it even the same Evan?  The actor playing him looks different to me.

They already did that in season 1 when Evan and Lucy had their one-nighter.

This is the stupid show I can't quit. I mean do these people ever study or stress over a test? Its all about costume parties and hooking up. 

And as a retired professor, I was just howling over some of the non reality of college life. Bree crying in the registrars office doesn't get you into a closed full class. What gets you in to to beg and plead with the professor. And while some faculty may entertain students in their home, its almost always graduate students. The only way an undergrad would be invited is to serve food or do other slave labor

And there are all kind of issues and policies  about having events off campus.

I just laugh laughed about the professor who doesn't use a computer because it impedes her flow. I only hear that from faculty in their 80s . 

 

This show slays me.
