All Good Things Come To An End - After Season One
Season 1 - amazing. After catching just one episode on Sky, I quickly ordered the first series and fell in love with the whole cast. A series with such a wonderful plot line, incredible actors and impeccable script deserved great recognition. And after that cliffhanger ending, I was desperate to see the second series and bought it as soon as I could.What a waste of money. The first episode or two were good - it stuck to the rhythm that made the first series so enticing. And then they brought in Ella to replace a character who was so much more realistic and appealing. At first I though, maybe this would work out.
But this series is so impossibly confused. Would it really have been so hard to have consistent personalities for characters? A realistic plot which didn't just involve characters shagging each other all over the place? ANYTHING that had made the first series so amazing? Apparently so.
There is only one reason to watch the second series and that is Thelma. Thank god they kept her in, she's the only lifeline they had to cling to by the end.
The end result? Feeling bitterly disappointed and let down. It could have been fantastic. If you're a die hard fan, then by all means watch season 2. But you'll only be left with a sour taste in your mouth by the careless destruction of what made you love series 1 and frustration that you can't even get a bit of closure out of the mess that made up the second.
So only 5 out of 10 - 5 points for Season 1 and 0 for Season 2.
score 5/10
