So i'm a late comer to this show, i just started it this summer after seeing a promo for the second season. I watched with my family, and MAN, we were hooked! We scheduled dinners together so we could literally talking theories of what we think will happen! Despite the backlash, i thought the second season was also really good! The boys weren't as entertaining as the girls, but i still had to binge. Each episode had enough suspense leaving me wanting more! I was really looking forward in seeing how the two groups would interact with each other.
Finally, the representation in this show is so important. They did a fantastic job handling LGBTQ+ issues, BIPOC, women empowerment, being a man raised around toxic masculinity, etc. I don't understand the "woke" argument because this show accurately represents what it is like to be a teenager with those identities and struggles- which really truly helps people learn about themselves and accept themselves. (and it also accurately depicts the female vs male behaviors on the island)
overall, this show was fun, entertaining, suspenseful, and just plain good. Amazon made a huge mistake canceling it because it was one of the good ones in an industry of recycled shows. Hopefully someone picks it up!
