Lol! I don't mind Toby, though he does seem a bit...much sometimes. There's no way I could be as understanding and patient as him. This show has definitely got my eyes dusty a few times. Jack and William are both fantastic. Honestly I'm not a huge fan of Kevin, but I can relate a lot to his struggles (I mean, not the ones involving being wealthy and famous but just on a personal level re: family interactions etc. lol).
I liked the first season despite its flaws but I'm catching myself not really looking forward all that much to new episodes anymore. The actors are all doing a great job and the show definitely still has its moments but I think the formula is starting to wear a little thin on me; the "mysteries" and twists feel a bit forced. Maybe ditching the flashbacks would improve things?
Not a great fourth or whatever post, I know -- sorry about that! Wish we had gotten another season of Pitch though.
I can admit being slightly underwhelmed so far into S2, but I think I may have felt the same way had I watched S1 a week at a time. Netflix has changed the way I consume content for better or worse. Weekly the mysteries feel forced and stretched out, but as a full season things move along at a good pace.
I also don't care for Rebecca that much...am I alone in that?
I think Kevin can be grating at times for sure, yeah. Jack and William were two faves. I like Randall a lot and relate to his inner struggle in some ways. I think the depiction of his relationship to Kevin has been a high point for the show. I think in general bremon I feel similarly about bingewatching vs. week to week watching but for shows where I watch them weekly to begin with (like this one) I have an easier time with it. It's a double edged sword though because when nothing happens you don't get to zip to the next episode, but on the other hand if you're in good suspense over something you get to stay in suspense. I guess it depends on the show.
I think S2 started a bit rough, and didn't feel enough like a new season, new story which is my personal preference for serialized TV shows. But I've been pleased with the last couple episodes. They're moving the modern story in some new directions. The flashbacks often don't have too much new to say, though, and the twisty mysteries are often the low point of the show to me, though I liked the one at the end of the most recent episode since it promises character development more than some other twists have felt like to me.
As a side note, I feel like the show needs to keep its characters in the same city. It's most interesting to see them all interacting and Kate is still off in LA in Tobyville so she feels too separated from the other characters to me. And, they raced through a lot of plot lines last season with her that didn't go anywhere: assistant/mentor the boss's daughter, exercise camp, exercise camp guy, etc.
Very glad to see I'm not alone in feeling like Pitch got struck out too quickly. That show had a lot of potential. Funnily enough just like this show it went to the "family twist" well sometimes, which the writer also did in one of his movies, Crazy Stupid Love.
Oh, about Rebecca, I like her in the flashbacks, she hasn't been given nearly enough plot in the modern story so she tends to be a story obstacle more than anything. I wish they were a little more interested in telling her modern day story. Sometimes in the flashbacks she doesn't get a lot of character development though because she gets relegated to the role of correcting Jack.
#Paging Linkura so I won't be alone in here in my Toby annoyance, haha.
