Seems like a hassle but at least you got to experience the defining cultural product of a generation.
Freeform's expansion into television has been surprisingly successful. I just wish they'd scale back the product placement at least to the point where it made sense (hint: teenage boys do not generally carry around prominently-displayed boxes of pantyliners for even their best lady friends).

i am given to understand freeform's tampon-cannon is very popular at live events such as state fairs, taffy pulls and barn-raisings

You just used three names to describe the same event, you Ameri-dummy (see also: jelly offs, hog rassles).
Re-railing the train: I both identified Whizzer and predicted the alternate employment of his nickname immediately after he mentioned super speed and I noticed the color of his hoodie. Fastest nerd on the couch, that's me.

Second season features the most nightmarish tv proposal ever

finally got around to finishing season two with all the enthusiasm of someone clearing a beehive from their shed six months after it appeared
this season was very, very bad, folks

It was nowhere near as good as the first, I can agree.
Whoever proposed on one of these threads that the Netflix seasons should be cut down to maybe like 6-8 episodes was suuuuuuuper OTM. I mean...why thirteen? They've demonstrated with every outing that they don't have enough material for a solid thirteen-episode season. Every outing winds up feeling threadbare and wheel-spinny at some point. Just tighten it up, folks. Trim the fat.
As I do with most of the world's problems, I blame Loeb.

krysten ritter def seemed to have less to work with this season too - any progress jessica seemed to have made as a person in s1 was right out the window

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2019 season is nominated in the 2019 ILX TV poll:
ILX's Best Television of 2019 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends January 31
If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (4 minimum, 25 maximum, organized by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail by end of day today. It'll take five minutes; get to it!
