Just finished the first season. Do I need to spoiler my thoughts or are we speaking freely?

Just finished S1. Some interesting social commentary here, especially with Olivia's constant virtue signalling from a position of considerable privilege. Lot of that around!

Indeed.

Just write spoilers inside on the thread title

So I am extremely disappointed with Rachel’s decision. Goddammit.

Really didn’t figure out it would be Armond. There was a good handful of people to choose from and he was as good a choice as any i guess.

Them leaving Quinn was pretty unbelievable. A 16-year-old ditches his wealthy parents and stays in Hawaii? I do think he was one of two genuinely good people on the show but his ending just didn’t do it for me.

I was actually hoping Armond would be in season 2.

Quinn’s arc was my favorite part.

The execution for Quinn staying was unrealistic, but his motives for doing so weren't. He's young, painfully naive, and was enjoying a sense of brotherhood he likely hadn't experienced before.

Oh, I totally agree with you.

And Armond was great, obviously. Murray Bartlett has chops. We need more Aussies in 'murican shows.

Oh, I totally agree with you.

Oh, I thought you had issues with his motives. I don't really see how ditching wealthy parents would be harder than, say, middle class parents.

Well number one, they probably flew first class and would notice if he didn’t get on the fucking plane. Number two, it would be much easier for them to go right back and get him once they landed if they only noticed he wasn’t with them when they landed. They would just have more resources was all I was getting at.

Yeah, he was my other favorite part of the show. His spiral into madness was brilliantly done.

Which RMer is most likely to drop a deuce in a suitcase out of spite?

Even if they flew coach, they would have noticed he wasn't on the fucking plane. He also likely went straight to the beach. Regardless, that ending scene didn't indicate how much time had elapsed.

Meh.

Meh.

It definitely wasn’t like leaving a 10yo kid by himself for the holidays.
