Good for a second season series, but..
.. the pacing was a little disjointed for me. Some parts dragged while the ending felt super rushed.
With the main obstacle/villain being Tee, I would have rather we get to see better justice for his wrongdoings, both against James and Ait as a couple but especially for what he did to Bas. All we see is the clip being played on the monitors at the press conference and Tee running out so we don't even know if he was ever held accountable for his actions or if he managed to get away in the end. It's super frustrating because he was an effective "bad guy" that we loved to hate. They practically spent the entire 2 seasons of the series showing us all the reasons to hate him and then we get no resolution, whether it's good or bad. It just simply does not exist.
Speaking of what doesn't exist, I wish James and Ait knew more about how much Bas was struggling. They were on his side and wanted the best for him and yet they didn't know he was contemplating suicide? To be honest, I could have done without James and Ait entirely this season as I absolutely loved Bas and Marco together. I preferred them over the other couple in the first season too even though they weren't acquainted yet. I found their characters were more interesting individually and then just got better when they were together. I thought Michael and Daniel were better actors overall too over Benz and Time.
Besides the ending, I still thought it was a good series overall and as far as the couples were concerned, they had satisfyingly happy endings, which I am a sucker for.
