WHEN I SAY THAT THIS SERIES HAS BEEN MY HOLY GRAIL, I MEAN IT. From the beginning of season 1 to the end of season 2, I have been OBSESSED and finished it within a week or so. Both seasons have a combine of 18 episodes, running for about 25-30 minutes each. Although I reckon there could of been room for improvement. For starters, the storyline and plot went a bit too fast, as if they rushed it. Ari and Summer never really had a lovey-dovey type of relationship, but right at the last episode of the first season, things took a change and they quickly shared a kiss? Secondly, the first episode of season 2 (spoilers) started with Ari having a girlfriend out of like nowhere?? I find that it was a bit off.
I like how the scenes didn't just focus around Summer and Ari but also with her friends and families' problems. In the end though, I felt (spoilers again lol) that Summer should of chosen Baxter over Ari as all Ari ever did to her was kept her running around in circles and never really admitting that he still wants to be with her. Even after their (spoilers, last one I promise!) kiss in Summer's tent, he told Summer that he was going to break up with Wren but never did because Wren somehow managed to gaslight him into staying with her.
The character development was COMPLETELY different in season 2. In the second season, everyone was a bit more easily triggered with anger over the smallest things, especially Ari, which made me wonder if that was the reason his and Summer's relationship wouldn't go well.
Overall, the acting was pretty decent but I guess I'm not professional enough to review this series as some others have mixed opinions. As a teen myself, I find this movie pretty enjoyable so I'm not sure how younger or older viewers might find it. I'M REALLY HOPING FOR A SEASON 3 SOON, AND MAYBE EVEN A SPECIAL PLOT???
Still, I'm definitely team Baxter x Summer as they both give off the same vibe and energy with both of their personalities being completely the same, rebel on the outside but having a soft spot on the inside. Baxter treats Summer so much better than Ari would ever. Let me know your thoughts!
