    The clearest example of when you ran out of narrative ideas but wanted to extend things to exploit a little more a success you weren't expecting.

    This second season is slightly unnecessary and definitely not as strong as the first, however, it still maintains the same charm that mad James and Alyssa so likable in the first place.

    It was alright. I watched all the episodes of the second season in one late night/early morning sitting. Alyssa's character was particularly stunted all the way through, and that got to be a bigger and bigger letdown as it seriously curtailed her expression. Not as good as Season 1, not sure if it's even worth the watch. Just alright.

    I don't think this lived up to the first season tbh but I'm not mad that they decided to release a 2nd season. I felt it started off a bit slow and I just don't feel like it caught the vibe that made me love S1 so much. As the season progressed though, I felt that it hit its stride and it started to reach the heights of S1.

    I also quite like how they ended it as it feels like the strange story is fully told now. Despite my reservations of S2 I'd definitely recommend watching both seasons. This show just scratches an itch that very few other shows do for me, it's aura is strange but I really like it.    … Expand

    With a lot of pressure to make a fulfilling sequel to the exceptional first season, it does a good job of continuing the narrative without being cliché and maintaining the quirky style it's known for. A second season wasn't at all necessary, and it's likely money played a factor in its creation, but I was still glad to see it continue.

    Depressing, boring, goes nowhere and ultimately pointless. I think it is well acted and put together.... but I got nothing out of it.

    Disappointingly unnecessary sequel to the quirky blockbuster first season doesn't do anything worthwhile except waste it's protagonists and introduce bland caricatures.

    Not nearly as good as the original, the show still has it's moments that are both touching and hilarious.

    Esta no me parece tan interesante, la fórmula la mantienen, pero ya se nota cansada, con solo 16 episodios, el estilo sigue su ritmo, estando bastante guay, pero no emociona demasiado.
    Cosas buenas: Banda sonora, espectacular, la estética sigue estando bastante chula y la actriz, Jessica Barden, en especial se lleva todo el peso de las actuaciones.
    Cosas malas: Es un paso atrás respecto a la primera, el ritmo va cayendo en picado hasta el final, y no concuerda mucho con lo que es la premisa de la serie, pierde fuelle.
    Conclusión: No tenéis ni por qué ver esta temporada, os quedaréis más contentos con solo la primera, dejando ese final abierto, aún así, se ve muy rápido y está medio guay, pero bueno, vosotros decidís.    … Expand

    It is gruesome and violent and scatalogical, but then it is funny and pointed and wry, and then it defers to a tender look, or an affectionate touch, and shows its heart. Lesser shows would give you whiplash, but the tone here is uniquely its own, and just perfectly, recognisably, The End of the F***ing World.

    It’s true to the spirit of season one, which made the two messed-up central characters Alex Lawther’s James and Jessica Barden’s Alyssa sympathetic against all odds. It has the same gonzo tone and darkly funny writing. And it has a decent plotline that’s linked to the action of season one in a not-forced way.

    Overall, fans of The End of the F***ing World's first season should be pleased with what they find in Season 2. Though there are new faces and places involved, it's still got that same dreary dryness and wild unpredictability in play. While the second season doesn't exactly feel necessary, it's still fun to take another aimless ride with the show's resident weirdos and see where we end up.
