I enjoyed the first series and probably would have scored it a 7 or an 8.
But series 2? What happened?
The first episode of series 2 you could dismiss as a nothing episode on the grounds that the writers needed to establish any changes that had happened since the first season - e.g. A death and becoming CEO. Fair enough. We can let that effort go as a necessary evil.
Episode 2 with the "dribbling" scene? The dares in Series 1 were arguably worthy of dares that you could vaguely see adults participating in. But dribbling an entire mouthful of coffee? All I could think of is this is the sort of thing that pre-school children might do and that is perhaps an injustice to young children as I suspect many wouldn't even participate in such infantile behaviour. It was embarrassing to watch and just not worthy of writing when you see this kind of crap on television.
We almost gave up at this point but thought that everybody is allowed a bad error of judgement (in the writing) so we'll let it go.
But episode 3? Cat sex? Watching this play out my wife summed it up really well: "How stupid to they think we are?'. That's the way it felt. The writers thought viewers were so stupid that they'd watch any garbage they put to screen.
Well, sorry, not us.
We give up and will watch no more.
Why this is episode is scoring so well just escapes both my wife and myself. It says as much about the attitudes of some viewers as anything perhaps.
