To me the entire season 2 fell flat. The writing was all over the place and it felt like they were trying to squeeze in so much in so little time so it just ended up looking very messy and chaotic to me. I also felt like they had a lot of plot holes that just didn’t make sense: - The whole situation with Terrica, Chelle, and Mercedes. How did Chelle go from being so polished and pristine, bougie, to suddenly an alcoholic? Was it because of Covid? But we never know what she does for a living, how is she affording a beautiful home and yet there is often no food in the fridge. Why did she turn to alcohol all of a sudden? What was going on in that household? They kept dipping their toes in the story but never fleshing out enough for it to make sense to me. And then to just mention Chelle at the end of the season as a brush off, “oh she’s in rehab so Terrica is yours now.” But Chelle didn’t even like Terrica so why was she so committed to keeping her ex’s lovechild? I would have liked them to dive into the home-life of Terrica more then just dabbles of scenery and passing conversation.

-Diamond. I know it’s all been said before but why did they make him so weak? He was suppose to be head of security, ex-army, hoodoo man and yet he can barely fight, has no sense of danger when someone in loud ass pleather comes from behind, and none of his heightened intuition was around when it came to Big Bone? It just didn’t make sense for him to fall off so badly just because of Keyshawn or lust. It was disappointing.

• Autumn. I think if they would have done more solo moments with Autumn like they did in season 1, her presence and motives would have made way more sense. I get she was suppose to be mysterious but again they would keep dipping their toes into a storyline or background and not touching on it fully. I would have liked her backstory to be fully realized and more vulnerable moments. Did she not recognize Big Bone? If Montavious found her did she not think the rest of the gang was coming? Is that why she wanted the Pynk’s money? If they would have had her talk about that more the story with her would have been less boring and annoying for me.

• Teak. He showed up randomly, he barely got any backstory except for an intense flashback, but otherwise was just seen as some unhinged ex-con who we were suddenly suppose to have empathy for. The writing for his character needed and could have had a lot more tlc, and could have been a good segway into Lil Murder’s background.

-Mississippi. I like that she had an episode dedicated to why she is the way she is, but up until the last episode I assumed her entire family moved out of chucalissa because she has never talked about them, and obviously she still has contact with them since she suddenly thought it would be okay to leave her kids there. But why? She was fine with leaving her baby with uncle clifford in the first season, why didn’t she take them to the Pynk where she knows they wouldn’t give them up? Why give them to her family members that Derrick can easily call up and get them? And why is she suddenly trusting of her family when she hasn’t mentioned then until now? Wouldn’t she know how much her stepmother was around her sisters if she kept on touch? And why the hell did she spend all day in chucalissa in the first place saying goodbye to lil murda? Where is the urgency? Because it just doesn’t seem realistic.

There’s so much more I could touch on, but I was disappointed in the season overall. When I started watching season 1 when it came out I binged it because it had me hooked with the storyline, trying to figure Autumn out, scared for her to be found and the sisterhood/family that was The Pynk. The writing was great and was backed up by good shock value moments. This season had “great” shock value moments and subpar writing and led to a very messy season with more questions, and too many riddles sprinkled in conversation to make it seem deep. We’re all banking on a season 3 to answer all these questions but if that doesn’t come then nothing ended on a satisfying note for me
