ryyss
rushed?
wow, okay, i'll try to keep this review as spoiler-free and straightforward as possible! (also as unbiased as possible lol ww)
ive binged watched the gifted series in the past few days and i absolutely LOVED it. ive always loved supernatural things mixed with a tinge of thriller/mystery and the gifted really do it. well, season 1 at least does.
its true that it's quite literally impossible not to compare both seasons, but i felt like season 2 was too rushed compared to the first one. the last few episodes were way too over the place, too many plot twists that i felt just DIDNT make sense. hell--even half of the twists are about the same thing, same looped scenario that results in the mcs being in a state even worse than before. honestly, it was almost like watching the writers go off the rails live. there were so many--and i cannot stress this enough--so, SO MANY alternatives they could've chosen, both for the story and characters.
the characters in s2 falls completely flat and one-dimensional compared to s1. there were even times when i think that character A shouldnt have done that, because it doesnt make SENSE that they would do that in the first place. there's just a problem in characterization, honestly?? a serious one; especially when it comes to the juniors (time, third, grace). omg so many writing problems there.
(a little bit of spoilers (?) here, skip to next paragraph if you dont want to see) and what irks me the most is how much the characters put their trust solely on pang? like, yes i get that he's the leader of the group but at the same time it really feels... empty. it's like this wonderful group of students with high IQs cannot think for themselves even if their life depended on it, and they all just run back to pang at the end of the day. (dont get me wrong, pang is my favorite character, but i dont like this at all.)
other than that though, the acting, cinematography, and editing are gorgeous as usual. the cast!!! their acting are always an eye candy and i love it!! they've somehow managed to turn the insufferable script into something thats actually bearable to watch and sit through, god bless for them.
in conclusion, the gifted season 2 is way, WAY too rushed. it felt like they couldve done a lot more if given more time. the script and its writing is also questionable, it builds the plot for so long but ends rather anti-climatic--felt like holding your breath for so long only to be met with disappointment in the end. aah, really, what a waste of potential ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
thats all for the unbiased review! for the biased one: i loved it.
i loved seeing them together again, since somehow ive gotten awfully attached to these kids HAHA their interactions were fun, and im so happy to see the ending of their story. the actors and actresses too! so so happy to be seeing them here again ~~ thank you gifted for giving me a blast these past few days ^^
