a fucking ride of a season. animal kingdom season 2 is such an improvement on the first,
the heists, drama within the family, & stakes are a lot higher than the first. there’s simply a lot more of a plot here.
at times i’m super fucking impressed by the editing & one-takes during the robberies & heists, the intensity is through the roof.
all the characters developed so much within this second season, no character felt like they were left out of the storyline, & the show definitely doesn’t feel like it’s at it’s full potential.
baz pissed me off a bit this szn, but the real human migraine was nicky… both her characters are severely hated in the bear & animal kingdom lol… she’s just so out of her depth it’s funny.
i do think i can comfortably say by the end of szn 2 that this show might’ve been better off if pope was the main character instead of j -
his backstory & character feels way more protagonist-like & pope is just amazingly acted. doesn’t take away from j’s development this szn, but still gotta remember he’s a senior in high school, long way to go…
overall very close to a 4.5 - this is just a lot of fun, with a lot of crazy & unpredictable people you can be empathetic with & hope they live till the end of the show.
