![]() The characters come off so 1 dimensional, Isabella is a sketchy liar (but what else?)& Megan is whiny, in love with Luke & is obsessed with school (but what else?) The mom could be completely removed from the show and it wouldn’t make a difference at all. We all know Isabella is sketchy, it felt wasteful to have Trevor come in to show the audience she’s sketchy. Idk what the hell is going on half the time this season bc there’s 75 time jumps every other scene. The acting was also so much better in my opinion, & the time jumps had a reason to be there. I couldn’t agree more, in season 1 all the characters had so much more nuance between being a “good” or “bad” person which made them feel more real/relatable. I hope the plot development gets better soon. It's like the writers wanted to ride a line between teenage romance, new girl in town with secrets, and a murder between 3 timelines but I'm not sure they can stick to those tracks without it getting too messy. We're half through the season now and instead of getting answers, we're just still getting a breadcrumb trail. It's all very haphazardly put together in my opinion. I'm assuming he will be open arms for her out of nowhere even though he just slept with Isabella and viewed Megan as one of the guys up until this point. ![]() But not before ruining Isabella and Luke's relationship, of course! At least Megan has a accidental free pass to Luke now. Instead, Trevor shows up, wastes a ton of screen time by pointing out Isabella is a shapeshifter, which we already knew. could have all easily been sussed out by Megan's hacking, which would have also strengthened the hacking subplot since we see it being more and more substantial as the series goes on. Isabella's ex, the drunk driving incident, Lisa. Getting annoyed with the addition of younger characters. A little moment between them right there would have gone a long way to break up the 5-episode stretch of Megan Vs. I understand shit went down that drove a wedge between Megan and everyone else, but give the mom something to do writers! She's just sitting there 90% of the time. But this would be less jarring as a viewer, if her relationship with her mom wasn't strong as hell due to their shared financial struggles, being a single parent, etc. Which, sure, Megan is allowed to choose who she discusses her choices with. ![]() But when she asks her about it, Megan's like I don't wanna talk about itttttt. What is Megan's mom doing? She lets her daughter walk all over her! She just found out her only daughter has had an abortion. She was nuanced and domineering and made me feel suffocated and understand Kate's actions and why she ran away. Remember Kate's mom? She was fleshed out. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but were there this many time jumps in S1's episodes? I was 10 minutes in, and counted 8 separate jumps. I think it’s possible that if she knew who it was and stood to gain something from protecting them, that she would do exactly that, but I can’t really think of a reason for her to kill Luke. She doesn’t really have a motive and she also doesn’t really seem guilty? I do think that she is more than willing to do something questionable to get what she wants, but taking Adderall and changing her grades are nowhere close to committing murder. I don’t think Megan had anything to do with Luke’s death. They may have died the same way, but presumably under very different circumstances, so it’s not like Isabella is on a world tour for drowning people. ![]() Lisa apparently accidentally drowned and it sounds like there was a group of people there when it happened. His murder had some degree of premeditation. Also worth noting- Luke was drugged and then went into the water. Unless she immediately saw the opportunity to put the focus on Isabella. I think it also means that if it wasn’t Isabella, she doesn’t know who it was, because if she already knew for sure that it was someone else, Lisa’s drowning wouldn’t actually mean something to her.
