and while I love this season because its so damn well made, its a problem that’s not just about her...many of the characters regressed.
Last season should have been her fresh fish in nyc story, instead the show introduced her as a self actualized badass (which was a great unique take on that trope), only to have her niave in season 2?
Its something thats affected the pimps also; while there is an ominous reckoning in the distance thisyear,,, you went from first season’s take that they are dangerous with nothing to lose.. to them almost being comedic relief. Even the evilest pimp now, CeCe, went from a homicidal maniac first season to kind of a run of the mill abuser/aspiring director. lol. The desperation they had last year has kind of disappeared which seems weird when now is the time much of their trade is losing out to ‘technology’
