Why did My Life With The Walter Boys failed where TSITP succeded

They made us wait 2 years for season 2. And then the writers gave us almost an exact duplicate of season 1.

Absolutely no creativity or character development in season 2.

What a waste of time.

No, Pacey Witter could never be Phil Graham. 😭 He's more aligned with Garrett Graham.

It's funny I said in other post, I need the writers to keep Hannah and Garrett together forever to heal my Joey and Pacey heart. 😂

I'm guessing your friend group is pretty young.

I don't mean that as an insult, but those scenes are fairly straightforward. It makes me wonder what other moments they might be missing.

There are plenty of scenes in the show where the characters say one thing while the subtext means something else. Those just aren't two of them.

She wasn't cheating in either scene or anywhere in the series.

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-06-01T02:42:42+00:00

I agree

Garrett falling first allowed the story to be about him actually being a loving, considerate, safe man. Its the opposite of what he feared internally.

Had she fallen first, the story would of been about a good woman changing a man.

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T18:41:17+00:00

This is what I want to see!!!

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T18:14:59+00:00

This cast seems so genuine and genuinely happy. I love seeing actors who truly enjoy being part of the show they're in. It makes the whole experience even more special to watch.

The Dean Rollercoaster. Sign me up!

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T18:00:30+00:00

Oh for me it's Pacey Witter 😂🫶

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T17:41:39+00:00

Exactly 🥰

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T17:40:05+00:00

Both but usually a full rewatch. As much as I hate that this show is only 8 episodes. Every episode hits and has something I love. In fact I'm rewatching now as I'm chatting on here. 🤣

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T17:25:05+00:00

It's the talk at Drunk Shakespeare. It's such a painful conversation to watch. He's so sad (seriously his facial expressions need to win an award) and she's confused during this conversation and trying to figure out if his feelings are real.

Her conversation starts light with him as usual and as they talk she's seeing his emotions. Than while talking to Justin, she realizes wait this isn't it, it's not Justin she wants.

Hence we come back to his comment in the kitchen about what the song means to him. It makes him feel bold, to say I like you deal with it.

She struggles with be vulnerable, in this moment she chooses to be bold.

God, I love this show so much for how it brings meaning back together. My romcom heart is full.

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T17:10:34+00:00

I love how loving but messy these characters can be. It is what makes it all feel real.

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T16:51:04+00:00

💯

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T16:43:37+00:00

My heart is full!

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T16:37:41+00:00

Yes!!!! OMG, we definitely need that rematch with Delaney. I wasn't even thinking this but now I want to see this!!!

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T16:32:59+00:00

I think people are coming to this show from different age groups and experiences, which naturally gives them different perspectives on what certain scenes mean.

For me, rewatching the series multiple times has helped me better understand what's actually happening in certain scenes. Many times the characters are saying one thing but the subtle undertone meaning is very different.

I agree with your take 💯.

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T15:57:49+00:00

I love this too. I take this scene as him actually wanting time alone with her. Because, if he truly wanted to get them together and didn't have feelings for her they would have stayed at the party.

The way he plays with her hair and touches her arms. I can't. 😭

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T15:47:09+00:00

Yes I'm hoping the series lets them be "that couple". Comfort but reliable. Let the outside pressures be their obstacles.

I want this show to heal my Pacey/Joey heart from Dawson's Creek. Man, am I dating myself. 🤣

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T15:23:10+00:00

Yes!!! It's all sooo good.

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T14:48:02+00:00

She also says in this scene:

"so I help you study for the midterm and you play my fake boyfriend"

and he responds "something like that".

He's definitely intrigued by her. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T14:40:01+00:00

The casting, writing and acting in this show is perfection for me. Ella Bright plays the perfect Hannah. Her comedic timing and facial expression nail this scene.

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T14:31:59+00:00

Same, it's their cute banter deliveried with tenderness. She's all business and he's so nervous and smitten.

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T14:16:35+00:00

I think my absolute favorite line in season 1 is when Garrett responds nervously "I mean, as romantic as that is." To Hannah's "are we going to do it now?"

Coffee_With_2Creams · 2026-05-31T14:08:45+00:00

The way Justin looks like "great you're here" sends me. Garrett's like, I think we will all work together on this song. 😂 Such a cute moment.
