Season 2 Review:
The series remains as fearless as ever in its approach to the stories it’s telling, and there’s plenty to enjoy about its go-for-broke attitude. It’s just difficult not to wonder what a version of this season might look like had it given (any of) its major plotlines time to breathe.

Season 2 Review:
There are low points in this season, including one affair that lacks chemistry despite some melodramatic proclamations of love, a cartoonish villain, and Leighton Meester’s limited screen time. Those hiccups aside, The Buccaneers remains a fun and unpredictable watch—even when you’re tearing your hair out over these young, often flighty characters’ choices.

Season 1 Review:
Wharton’s emotional architecture—the unspoken, subtextual longing and frustration and ambition—is made dully explicit, in writing so leaden and staged that it feels ripped right out of Selling Sunset. .... Only if you think in terms of an algorithmic TV pitchbot does the show make sense.
